Hey guys,

I know, I know, it’s been a while. Well, so much to cue you all in on.
First and foremost, Madrid is wonderful. Secondly, Contiki is comprised of the coolest people you may ever meet. We refer to ourselves as “Contikis”, we meander around the city streets, and we love to have a good time. I think th... Read More (1 Comments)

Hey guys,

So basically Spain is amazing. It’s this fantastic country where the people don’t sleep, eat whatever they want, and have absolutely fantastic parties.

Sup STAers?

Right now I’m daydreaming of paradise…the sun, the surf, the beaches, and the shopping. I think you understand what I’m talking about – Santa Barbara, California!

Hey STAers!

What a fantastic opportunity! When I received your call, I was in the middle of a dress rehearsal for a play I’m starring in. Of course, when the phone vibrated in my shirt pocket (right in the middle of a solo number), I just bolted out the door and ran into my car. Although I got lots of raised eyebrows when I return...
