I Travel The World, But Lancaster Will Always Have My Heart
Lindsey Ann Photography

It seems to be on my heart a lot to travel the globe or just to explore the states. Recently between 2016 to 2017 I traveled to Kona, Hawaii where I did volunteer work, but don’t get me wrong three months on a tropical island by far was freaking amazing. I just prefer the precious moment of getting off the plane at the airport and driving back to good ole Lancaster County.

Honestly you probably are thinking I must be out of my mind at this point. That I would take the smell of cow poop and getting stuck behind a buggie at the worst possible time because in reality you need to get to work on time. Those are the little things I missed while I was away from home and I will always be a home body at heart.

I think it’s very hard to replace home, and why? Well I like my home even if I can’t stand it sometimes and have a wanderlust mind inside. It has so many things that all the places I have been to I want to visit again. Let me list some for you; the farmers markets on the side of the roads or in the small towns with many amazing seasonal fruits and vegetables that are irresistible. One that I can’t get enough of is we have all four seasons so I never get tired of the weather because it changes and that’s one thing that makes me never miss coming home from my long travels abroad.

In the beginning of the summer in 2017 the doors opened again to go abroad to Norway! I got excited to go and travel yet again and it seemed like the right time to go and get away from Lancaster and explore to see what’s out there for six months. Well 1 country turned into 12+ and just to see the different cultures and languages and landscapes it was almost too overwhelming for me.

That being said I went to amazing places. You name it and I loved it, but after you have reached the max travel high you are ready to see home again. I can’t live away from Lancaster that long it’s where my heart is and I just think traveling four weeks at a time is what I’m meant to do because I don’t feel anyway wanting to leave for long times. With how I’ve been longing for home I think I’ll stick to that plan.

I would encourage all of my European friends to come to Lancaster County and see the things that I love the most when I’m in my hometown. I like being a tour guide it’s something fun I enjoy (it won’t be a full time job ever for me though), but with friends it’s a definite.

Driving through back roads with my music going or taking the train to Philadelphia, I have it all in a hour distance and that’s just my forte. I’m in love with Lancaster and so are others, but I can’t speak for them because everyone has there own opinion. I know for sure that I’m staying in Lancaster for a good while; it's a place you can't beat.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
