We had a DAM great trip! Let me start the trip on Wednesday night, “The Night Before We Left.” I know everyone who reads my blogs will be shocked to hear this: I didn’t prepare a head of time and I waited until the last minute to pack. I’ll spare all of my readers the horrifying […]

I was very nervous for my semester abroad in Chile.  Although I had already traveled extensively abroad – and even lived in Latin America – this was the first time I was going to be traveling in another country by myself.  I was also nervous because I was not sure how my Spanish would fare […]

It is difficult to find the words to sum up this experience. It really is like no other. Being in another country is like being in another world. It is humbling to know that there are so many people different than you in this world. Foreign lands are only a plane, bus or train ticket away. […]

Yesterday marked my first month living in Italy! Since being here, I honestly feel like every day is better than the last.

As of this weekend, my number is officially eight. I’ve been to eight different countries in the world, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!! I had planned to spend four days in Amsterdam. My plans derailed when we decided to buy train tickets and see what Germany had to offer us! Because I […]

In my last post, I told everyone the story of how I packed for Paris hours before leaving and somehow made it to my train on time (See The One With The Visit).   On Friday morning, I left London on the Eurostar train and traveled underwater through the English Channel. Sleeping on the train was hard, […]

If you know me, you’ll know that I am the biggest procrastinator there ever was. If you know my flatmates, you’ll know that they are very quickly giving me a run for my money. If you know me, you’ll know that I am also one of the most unorganized people there ever was. And if […]
