Two Weeks On The Mediterranean: An Introduction

Hey, folks. I’m baaaaaaack…

*Crickets chirp*

…Ahem. If you recall, I recently left a message saying I’d be going on an epic adventure in Europe, and that I’d be gone till November. And that’s exactly what I did; I spent the latter half of October on the Vision of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. I’d never done a cruise before, so the fast pace and logistics involved were completely new for me. It was well worth the effort, though. Throughout the last two weeks, I visited Spain, France, Italy, Vatican City, and Montenegro (and Germany, but that was just a layover, so that doesn’t really count). I got to explore Barcelona, Villefranche, Nice, Pisa, Rome, St. Peter’s, Salerno, Pompeii, Venice, Kotor, Risan, and Perast. I saw tons of stuff, celebrated my birthday at St. Mark’s, and took just over 4,500 photos.

Yeah, I’ve been kind of busy.

I’m going to be sharing all of my experiences with you, but definitely not in a single huge post. This travel memoir will be written to cover one day at a time, and likely posted with the same frequency. I seriously can’t wait to show you the sheer awesomeness of the Mediterranean, and I hope it’ll inspire you to travel and seek out your own adventures!

Stay tuned, folks.

Happy Birthday, Polymathically!

Hey, folks. Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Polymathically just reached its first birthday! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I first started. When I typed the original post in the middle of the night last October, it was more of an awkward, self-imposed challenge to try something new. I never dreamed it’d last this long, or that I’d be able to meet so many other awesome and creative people, or that I’d have any kind of following. I just want to thank everyone out there who reads the blog. I’m immensely grateful for your support; it’s so good knowing that other people wonder and want to learn about the same things I do. That’s what this place is all about.

Oh, and I turned 30 earlier this week as well. Does that make it a double-happy birthday?

Stay curious.
