Prague & Budapest // Suspended Tickets & Thermal Baths

My last weekend in Europe, why not go all out?  Prague and Budapest were both on my check list, we had a long weekend, and everything seemed to have worked out perfectly.  Prague was beautiful and quaint. We only spent one day there which was perfect, we were able to walk to most of the …

Amsterdam // A Dam Good Weekend

Two weekends ago, my friend Kelsey turned 21 while that may not be a big deal here in Europe it's still a pretty big deal for us so we spent the weekend in Amsterdam. The six of us shared a very dinky and very cramped hostel room in the center of the city which was perfect.  …

5 Cities // 10 Days

Where do I begin? I only have 11 days left of my time here in Europe and I cannot believe how fast time has flown by.  Since the last time I posted (about 2 weeks ago, I know I'm slacking) I took a 10 day trip and explored 5 cities; Madrid, Barcelona, London, Cambridge, and …

Nonetheless walking through the ancient streets of Verona and along the River Adige is idealistic. Verona is located in the North region of Italy, known as the …

Aggiustamenti // Adjustments

So I have been in Italy for a little over a week and it has been one of the most overwhelming weeks of my life.  Any kind of adjustment is hard and moving across the world is definitely very difficult. I notice new cultural differences everyday. Whether it's the extra long lunches, lack of air …

Non Vedo L’ora // I Can’t Wait

Let me begin by explaining why I am starting this blog. As many of you know, I am spending my summer studying abroad in Verona, Italy.  I have been preparing for this trip since October, so needless to say I am very nervous but, mostly excited.  The purpose of this blog is to excite and …
