I know not a lot of people care about my ‘year in review’ but I love having the opportunity to be able to write all of this down. This blog provides an outlet for me to share my life and all the memories I am making, and even if I don’t have a huge following […]
My Favorite Apps for Traveling
Traveling is stressful, and studying abroad is even more stressful. You have so many questions, a million itineraries to keep track of, and several different currencies clinking around in your pocket. This really isn’t the time you want to be weighed down with any extra baggage like guide books or brochures. Luckily, all you need when you […]
Things You Don’t Expect When You Study Abroad
Studying abroad was one of the craziest things I have ever done, yet it was also one of the most rewarding. I learned so much and, despite any pitfalls I had along the way, I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to do it. I had SOOOO many questions before I left, and while I […]
One Day In Santorini
FINALLY. Here is my LAST post from my study abroad travels. I did a lot of trips, I spent a lot of loooooong weekends hopping all over Europe, and saw and did more things than I could possibly blog about. I took so many pictures that I probably forgot about 90% of them. I had […]
On the Island
No, sadly this is not my post about Santorini. I know the glimpse of blue seas fooled everyone, but don’t worry, my 1203149830 pictures from Santorini will soon be up on the blog! For now, I’m talking about one of Greece’s lesser-known islands, Aegina. Just a 45 minute ferry ride away from Athens, Aegina […]

Your Ultimate Guide to Studying Abroad in Amsterdam
I get asked questions about my time in Amsterdam all the time, often from people who aren’t even planning on study abroad. But today, a girl in one of my classes mentioned that she was going to Amsterdam next semester, and I practically pounced on the poor girl and demanded if she needed any tips. […]
Athens
And we have finally arrived…..at my last trip for the semester. However, since my last trip was to Greece, I have about a million and a half photos SO I am breaking up the week into a few posts. Which means less endless scrolling and more blue-and-white filled photos for all of you! This is […]
Mo-rockin’ my World
(sorry for my cheesy title, I couldn’t resist!) If you read my Seville post, you know that we nearly didn’t make it to Morocco. But I am so, so glad we did. I don’t know when I would get to Morocco otherwise; I had been wanting to visit forever, and since Africa really is just […]
Seville in Half a Day
When I told people we were going to Seville for only a day, they looked at me like I had two heads. Why are you going back to Spain, you already went? Why only a day? Why didn’t you plan to go earlier? WELL, long story short, we planned several different trips that ended […]
