My freshman year, I lived in ‘The Netherlands’ freshman complex, where all of our dorms were named after Dutch cities. I lived in ‘Utrecht’ house, so when I came to study in the real Netherlands, I knew I had to visit the real Utrecht. Only half an hour away from Amsterdam by train, Utrecht is […]
Throwback to Drøbak
Guys I am really proud of that caption so please humor me. Even though our trip to Norway was only 3 weeks ago (!!!) it feels like forever! This semester is really flying by, I leave in just over 3 weeks! So, I have to bust out a few more posts from all my weekend […]
Oslo
When I made a list of what countries and cities I wanted to visit during my semester abroad, Scandinavia didn’t really top the list. But sometimes you book trips at 1 am and end up having a blast! Always trying to accomplish as much as possible, Tori and I decided to tackle Norway and Sweden […]
Berlin
One of the trips I knew I had to make while studying abroad was Germany- my grandmother was born there and while I couldn’t visit her hometown I wanted to at least see the country. Since I had a friend from high school who lived in Berlin, it was the perfect excuse! On my first […]
Spring in Amsterdam
I am way, way, way, WAY behind on blogging (as in a month behind) BUT I’m catching up! I wanted to recap some of our adventures in Amsterdam when Zac and Lydia came to visit! We only had one day in Amsterdam before we left for Paris, and most of it was spent wandering around and […]
Bonjour, Paris!
Alright y’all, I am waaaaayyyyy behind on blogging (as in I have three weekends worth of travel to blog about and I’m about to head out for another trip tomorrow). BUT I’m finally sitting down to write about our trip to Paris! I visited Paris the summer after my sophomore year of high school- here’s a […]
April
My favorite month is finally here!!! I did a big post last year at the beginning of April and it amazes me to see how much has changed…it seems like it was just a few months ago! Number 5 on my list was about waiting to hear back from Amsterdam…and look how things turned out! […]
Finding Good ‘Craic’ In Ireland
Wow. That is the one word I would use to describe this past weekend in Ireland. ‘Wow’ because it was a whirlwind trip that didn’t last near as long as I would have liked. ‘Wow’ because we nearly didn’t make it to Ireland and nearly didn’t make it home. And ‘Wow’ because I am now […]
Prague (aka the weekend with no sleep)
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. Yes, Bruges is beautiful and old, but Ghent is so medieval […]
