A month of studying abroad (minus the studying)

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 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

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

The Netherlands: Day One

As I begin this post, it's 10:00 on a Tuesday night and I'm exhausted. The past three days have been jam-packed with so much activity, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I haven't taken a real break until now. As I'm lying alone in my hotel room, exhausted and ready to crash, I've come … Continue reading The Netherlands: Day One

A little more Danish Culture

If you've read any of my other blog posts, you'd know that I've been traveling around Denmark a bit, exploring Copenhagen and eating so, so much delicious food. I've been having so much fun on these adventures with my friends, but up until yesterday, there was something missing... I wasn't meeting any Danes! One thing … Continue reading A little more Danish Culture

Four hours in Helsingør

Determined to expand my horizons and explore a little bit out of Copenhagen, three other friends and I took a train to the port city of Helsingør (Elsinore in English) yesterday. I'm not the biggest Shakespeare fan (sorry, high school English teachers) but if I had to choose one of his plays that I enjoyed the … Continue reading Four hours in Helsingør
