A Texas Girl Exploring the World
Whether or not you are totally obsessed with HGTV’s Fixer Upper, you have probably heard of Magnolia Market. Chip and Jo took their small shop and turned an old silo into a massive store, garden, and entertainment space. You’ve seen the Silos on the show and probably all over Instagram. Since Waco isn’t too far […]
If you have been following the blog for a while, you probably remember my weekend recaps while I was abroad. Usually it was pictures and stories about what I had done, like a diary entry. It was great for everyone keeping up with my travels, but looking back, I want to dive a little deeper into some […]
I came across this article on Her Campus titled “Why I Don’t Give a Sh*t About Your Study Abroad Experience.” I am not the type of person who always needs to comment or respond to things on the Internet, but this one struck a chord in me. The author, who by the way IS studying […]
If there’s one thing I would consider myself a pro at, it’s weekend trips. Between my semester abroad, weekend adventures while I was in New York, and our frequent trips to the lake, I love being able to get away for the weekend. And, after several cross-country drives from Texas to New York and back, I’ve become […]
Hey guys! Hayden from Haute Table is here with a guest post. I’ve been wanting to take a trip to Marfa for a while, and her post is only giving me more of a reason to go! This tiny Texas town near the border has become a huge attraction in the past few years, and I’m […]

Recently, one of my Zeta sisters reached out to ask me about studying in Amsterdam. Usually, I respond with, “OMG it was great blah blah blah you’ll love it blah blah blah go do it!” But as we kept talking over Facebook, she asked questions that no one has asked me yet. She asked about […]
One of the biggest challenges when studying abroad, aside from things like making friends, being homesick, culture shock, etc., is trying to fit in all of the travel that you want to do. You only have so many weekends (roughly 16-ish depending on how long your semester is), and there is so much to see and […]
Whether you are spending a whole semester studying or you’re just in town for a few days, the Netherlands has so much to see and do. When I wasn’t jetting off to other parts of Europe, I tried to make the most of exploring as much of the country as I could. The Netherlands is […]
One of the best parts about graduating? Not having to drive alllll the way back to Texas at the end of the year and then alllll the way back to New York. I know it seems crazy, but I couldn’t have survived living on Long Island without a car for 3 years. BUT now that […]
