So, it's official... I've fallen out of my blogging kick. I've been so, so incredibly busy... and I'm not just saying that! Since my last post, I've had about a million papers I've had to write, a few quizzes, 4 final exams, and a bunch of other crazy stuff that has been a lot more … Continue reading A month of studying abroad (minus the studying)
Paris in two days: Day Two
When I decided to take a solo trip to Paris, I had a day like last Sunday in mind... I wanted to walk through art museums, through gardens and old streets. I wanted to sit at cafes (alone of course... but that's the fun of it) and go wherever the heck I wanted to go, … Continue reading Paris in two days: Day Two
Paris in two days: Day One
Wow, guys... I'm really falling behind on this whole blog thing. I've been so busy since my trip to Romania with my design project, projects, papers and tests for my other classes. Pretty much all my free time during the past two weeks has been spent either eating food or socializing. I've hardly had any … Continue reading Paris in two days: Day One
Vampires, castles and polenta-Romania Part 2
My last post was about a bunch of cool Romanian things, like hiking and food, and adorable animals, but I think that it was lacking something significant: Vampires. Yeah, like Dracula, or Nosferatu, or Edward Cullen. https://media.giphy.com/media/mTrqxeKB1pVks/giphy.gif In my opinion, vampires are cool when they're not being clingy. I mean that in the sense that they're … Continue reading Vampires, castles and polenta-Romania Part 2
Across the Forest- Romania Part 1
So remember in my last Netherlands post when I said I would never do a multiple-part blog series again? Well, I lied. A little while ago I returned from my last travel adventure and just now have gotten the time to write about it. So I don't keep you all waiting (and have a bunch … Continue reading Across the Forest- Romania Part 1
“Halloweekend” in Denmark
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I've always loved dressing up, watching scary movies and dancing to classic Halloween pop-hits at every chance I get. I love all of the spooky decorations, the abundance of candy corn and the crisp Fall weather that should really last longer in California than it actually … Continue reading “Halloweekend” in Denmark
Tivoli: Copenhagen’s own Halloweentown
Yesterday, I experienced the magic that was Tivoli Gardens, the second-oldest amusement park in the world. It's 173-years-old, which is older than a lot of things: -Pasteurized milk (invented in 1864) -Toilet paper (invented in 1878) -The zipper (invented in 1891) -Tea bags (invented in 1904) This park's age doesn't take away from its allure. … Continue reading Tivoli: Copenhagen’s own Halloweentown
The Netherlands: Day Six
And here we are... the last day of my study tour... it's really been an adventure! Today I experienced a few "firsts", which I guess should be expected when you're traveling. I guess I didn't have the highest expectations for the final day of my study tour, but today was pretty exciting! The first of … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Six
The Netherlands: Day Five
Today was our first day in the city of Rotterdam! We luckily were able to sleep in a little bit more today, leading to a much more energetic, happier me. To make the morning even better, the hotel's continental breakfast was absolutely fantastic. There were so many delicious options. This picture of my plate only … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Five
The Netherlands: Day Four
On Wednesday, we left Amsterdam 😢 I really wish I had been able to spend a little more time there. I was able to explore a little bit without the entire tour group, but not nearly enough to say that I have seen it all. There were a few tourist attractions like the red light district and … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Four
The Netherlands: Day Three
I'd like to say that I've been busy the past two days doing all sorts of things that would keep me from writing this post, but in truth, I've mainly been chilling out and enjoying myself back in Copenhagen. It's been nice... I've been doing yoga, cooking some soup, wandering around fancy department stores and … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Three
The Netherlands: Day Two
Monday was a super touristy day, but I'm really not complaining. To be honest, I LOVE being in a tour group every once in a while. I'm not a fan of being taken to all the worst tourist traps that cater to gullible Americans, but I'm a big fan of not having to stress about … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day Two
