📍 Jaipur, India

I had no idea what to expect for Holi in India, but WOW! The sense of community across people and complete strangers was absolutely epic and is a memory that will last a lifetime.

📍 Rathambore National Park, India

Even though we didn't see a tiger, we made the most of it and even saw a sloth bear (aka Baloo).

I've always dreamed of going to India. So far, it has exceeded expectations in every way. The hustle and bustle is contagious.

There is nothing like a Contiki reunion before another Contiki!

@bianca.twissell and I were on the Contiki Russia and Scandinavia tour in 2016 and became awesome friends, alongside Lachlan & Jess (@the_cf_traveler)! I have now seen each of them after the trip - Lachlan visited me in NYC, I did the Contiki Egypt trip with Jess & Bianca just showed me around her home, Cape Town, including a visit to the beautiful De Grendel Wine Estate as well as a small spot near the ocean for dinner!

I can't wait to make new memories over the coming days as I explore Cape Town and get a taste of the rest of the southern tip of the African continent on the Contiki Cape to Delta trip!

Last weekend, I attended my final Penn State Alumni Council meeting. Over the past 6 years, I've had the opportunity to give back to the university I love by serving on the Board of the largest dues paying alumni association in the world. I am so proud of the work we accomplished and beyond thankful for the many people I met along the way, who I am proud to call my lifelong friends.

In 3 short years, we have traveled to 4 countries & 14 states together. Our brief weekend in Louisville was filled with amazing food, sites &, of course, some bourbon tastings!

Had a great time visiting Google's Bay Area and Playa Vista campuses over the past week! It was great to connect with so many people in person after spending over a year knowing them only through the lens of a webcam!

A successful 4th of July weekend in the books - tapas at sunset to Pikes Peak to a silent disco to a random EDM concert at Red Rocks, and much more.

In the words of Oberyn Martell from Game of Thrones , "It's a big and beautiful world. Most of us live and die in the same corner where we were born and never get to see any of it. I don’t want to be most of us." 3 weeks, 4 countries, 12 flights and many frequent flier miles later, I'm heading back to NYC. From clubbing in Ibiza to checking out the Dalmatian Coast in Split to walking around the city walls of Dubrovnik to visiting the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul to taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia to kicking off the 2022 Penn State football season in Indiana to celebrating a close friend's wedding in Canada, I've had a great few weeks that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you to all those who made the past few weeks some of the most memorable of my life! #gimpyglobetrotter #ibiza #spain #split #dubrovnik #croatia #istanbul #cappadocia #turkey #pennstatefootball #pennstate #collegefootball #canada #wedding #travel #explore #friends

Flew out to San Francisco for a few days before I start my new job Google and, of course, I needed to swing by the Googleplex! It was awesome and I was so excited to see them embrace Disability Pride Month! Can't wait to join their NYC office! I also met @peterthegreeter who has me pumped to start. #googleplex #mountainview #newbeginnings #disabilitypridemonth

After 9.5 years at JPMorgan Chase, today was my last day. I am forever grateful for the amazing projects I have worked on, including the current headquarters project which is rising out of the ground and will be an icon in the NYC skyline in a few years, but I am more grateful for the people I encountered along the way. I will forever cherish the relationships cultivated during the first chapter of my career, but also am looking forward to opening the next chapter as a Google employee!

Crossed state 36 off of my list this weekend - Nebraska! It was fun to make some new friends at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting to listen to Warren Buffett and also to explore Omaha. I definitely want to come back here when I can explore the city more!

Madison (and Chicago), you were great. I absolutely loved getting back on the road, seeing people I haven't seen in over a year and a half, some great family time, and, of course, watching Penn State football get a big win in Camp Randall Stadium. Oh, and I visited state number 35!

Today's photo from the safari was less than an hour into our first drive when we saw our first cheetahs! They were just walking in the middle of a field (there were 3 of them) before settling down near a tree.

Finally started going through my 8,500+ photos from my two week #EastAfricaSafari and figured I'd start by posting the first lion we saw. I was so excited to see it, and obviously it wasn't even phased by me.

More pictures of animals from my safari to come, but in the meantime I wanted to share this picture of me witnessing the wildebeest migration. The past two weeks were amazing & dare I say, the best trip ever? None of this would have been remotely possible without @contiki hiring amazing trip leaders in @contikiharon & @jabir6555 and the amazing #ContikiFamily I met along the way. I like to say it is the people that make the trip and that has never been more true. Thank you for a trip I will never forget.

During my first day in Kenya, I hit the ground hopping and visited a tea plantation before my tour started. It was absolutely gorgeous and and the views were something I did not expect so close to the city.

It felt so amazing to take to the blue skies again after over a year. I will never take the feeling of accelerating on a runway looking out the window for granted ever again. #gimpyglobetrotter #flying #windowseat #travel #clouds #instatravel #passport #neverstopexploring

It may have been "just a practice", but it did feel good to go through those Beaver Stadium gates, bask in the sun, eat a chicken finger basket and watch some Penn State Football! #WeAre #PennState #PSUProud #goodtimesneverseemedsogood
