“You’d never be dumb enough to go into an abandoned asylum,” Adam said as the movie credits rolled. “You would say ‘no thanks’ and run the other way.” I shrugged. We had just finished watching the Grave Encounters, a cult classic horror film about a team of paranormal investigators who get trapped in an abandoned […]

As the colorful paper decorations flapped in the wind above my head, I couldn’t help but feel like I was home. I have been around the world and back again. I have experienced the culture shock that comes from food, from language, from bathrooms, and all the other things that we take for granted every […]

Leading group trips has always been a dream service I wanted to offer at Dylan in the Details, but, honestly, I thought it was way too early. I had all the excuses in the world as to why my platform wasn’t big enough, I wasn’t experienced enough, and I had no idea what people would […]
