Countdown to Brazil!

On November 18 I’ll be flying down to Atlanta and then hopping on a 9:50pm red eye to Rio de Janeiro with my friend and travel partner in crime, Sylvie. It snowed in NYC yesterday so being on the beach in Brazil couldn’t sound more inviting! Since the trip is getting closer and closer, I’m [...]

It’s been a while…

So I haven’t been the best at updating Helen’s Travel Corner recently. Life has somewhat gotten in the way I suppose and blogging has been put on the back burner.

Ping Pong, Beer and a Former Olympian

Amtrekker is Back with Another Mission!

Remember Amtrekker? He’s a friend who set out with a goal to cross off a list of 50 things he wanted to do before he died and wasn’t going home until they were crossed off. After 15 months he achieved his mission and now he’s got something else up his sleeve! I had the chance [...]
