City Streets & Mountain Peaks

WELCOME ABOARD

Nice to meet you, my name is Sebastian. This is the site where I blog about my trips – whether they are focused on experiencing the unique urban flavor of foreign cultures or the quiet majesty of nature.

I’m also trying to put together helpful guides on how to hike/travel the places from my more recent trips. When ready, you can find these guides using the menu at the top of the page or by clicking on the destination in the interactive maps below.

Hike Locations

Travel Poll

It doesn’t take much to make me want to go visit a new location. Since I also love planning new trips and sharing my experiences with others, I’m hoping to mix in your requests on where I should go next with my own ideas (as my resources allow).

Countries Visited

Foreign Word of the Day

Knowing languages makes travel more fun. I’m currently working on German and Japanese. The section below has my favorite Anki deck word of the day.

Other Details About Me

I have a beautiful Siamese cat named Freya who might appear in a few of these posts. I love swing dance, classical music, herbal tea, and the fine arts. I also enjoy chess, typically favoring the Scotch Game as white and the French or Dutch defenses as black. I am a happy member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I’m currently in my second-to-last year of grad school at UCSB. My personal research site can be found here, for those interested: https://sebastiannbrown.github.io/

Non-travel Pages

I also occasionally blog about a few other interests besides travel, as well as posting about major life events. These posts can be found under the “Other Topics” tab.
