Bad sense of direction, good sense of style.
FINALLY. I finished my last final and breathed a huge sigh of relief. The hellish semester was over and I could feel the stress roll off me like waves. I finished packing for my 3 fun filled weeks of travel around Europe by myself and with my parents, and I couldn’t help but think of … More Brussels: Final Goodbyes and Epilogue
I have developed a serious case of wanderlust while traveling throughout Europe. There are so many places I want to visit and just not enough time to see them all. At the beginning of my journey, I created a list of potential places to visit; that list had to be half a page long. One … More Lisboa: Sunsets and Sumol
After departing from a tropical beach weekend, I continued my Spanish adventures to the city of Valencia. Valencia is known for its large museums, plethora of citrus fruit groves, and being the birthplace of Paella. What is paella you ask? Arguably one of the best Spanish (if not in general) dishes in the world. It … More La Semana en España: Valencia

Finally, instead of struggling with learning the French language, I was able to return to my safe-zone of Spanish.

I should have gotten around to writing this blog piece sooner, but unfortunately time has a funny way of creeping past when you are doing other things. Regardless, this past weekend I took a trip to Dublin, Ireland. Being an American of Irish decent (the last name really gives it away) I wanted to go … More Ireland: Back to the Motherland
‘I don’t speak freaky- deeky Dutch!” was the first thing that popped into my head when jumping on the bus to Holland for the weekend. What is Holland? Is it the same as the Netherlands? Do they really wear wooden shoes? I had no clue what to expect for this weekend. Reflecting, I can’t even … More Holland: New Dream Home?
Over the weekend I was able to take a trip to one of the richest counties in the world: Luxembourg. I and a few of my friends decided on a day trip to the lovely city, and were able to experience some amazing sites, snacks, and culture. Since I am on a budget for traveling, … More Living the LUX Life: Luxembourg City
