I guess I should have titled that post, “the first of many weekends with no sleep.” I will be traveling 5 out of the next 6 weekends (the weekend I’m not traveling is my birthday!) so sleep isn’t going to be a priority. After all, who needs sleep when there are things like overnight buses […]
In Bruges (and Brussels)
Continuing with our whirlwind trip to Belgium, here’s the pictures from Bruges and Brussels! Like Ghent, we knew very little about Bruges, other than the fact that people kept saying we needed to visit. To tell the truth, I definitely prefer Ghent over Bruges.

Day Trip
The best part about going to school in Amsterdam is that so many other students chose this as a study abroad destination.

The school system here is very different, so I only take 2 classes at a time- we switch halfway through the […]
