Meet Laura and Zac! They have only known each other since February, but by the way they interacted it seemed as if they had known each other for a lifetime. With such a strong connection, I asked the two how they met. “You start”- Zac “I don’t even know where to begin… I met this girl named Jessica on a plane, and not even two days after she invited me on a business trip to Las Vegas.

I really had no idea what I was getting... Read More

Last weekend my dad and I decided to go somewhere new close to Zurich. We wanted to go somewhere on the train, but not too far away, and not too expensive.

It’s most known for being home to Europe’s largest waterfall, Rhine falls. Also, not to be overlooked is the... Read More

The exciting thing about building a “map”, is that plans can be limitless. You can begin in Boulder and head to Lake Tahoe, California, but on the way, stop in Moab to climb the Arch…and maybe in Vegas on the drive home. Why would we need all-inclusive when we have our own imaginations? These Buffs have ventured outside of the so-called “typical” spring break locations and... Read More
