July 4th Abroad thumbnail

Last year, I was eating hamburgers at the Freebird Bar and Grill in Phnom Penh. This year I was sitting out a rainstorm, grilling burgers with our Canadian friends in Grand Cayman. The fourth of July abroad… always interesting. Recently I wrote about being homesick. I’d have to say, I woke up on independence day feeling…

Georgetown Grand Cayman

Looking at my calendar from this summer, I can’t believe how much is blocked out under “Family in Town.” On my flight down to Cayman, I already knew my mom was coming down to visit soon. Little did I know at the time my dad, sister, cousin and her husband would soon be buying tickets to…

Radio Personality Portraits This was a really fun and unusual shoot. Z99 is one of Cayman’s most active radio stations, showing up at community events all across the island…

Grand Cayman Scuba Diving

SHARK! Just kidding. Now that I have my Rescue Diver course under my belt, Mark and I have been working on my PADI Advanced Open Water Certification. Typically the AOW is what comes first but I’ve never been one to do things the logical pedestrian way. The advanced course really isn’t that difficult, there’s no test…
