A Texas Girl Exploring the World
To be totally honest, I was not that excited about our trip to Stonehenge. I was already disappointed that we couldn’t visit Highclere Castle (aka Downton Abbey) as it wasn’t open for the season yet. My consolation prize was a trip to Windsor Castle, but I’ll get to that later in this post. I had […]
Hello! I’m back from London and have finally sorted through some of my photos. It was so nice to have a break from everything and enjoy the amazing weather- yes, I said amazing weather. In London. In March. This isn’t necessarily a guide of things to do in London, I just wanted to share some […]
With two Europe trips on my calendar for this year, I’m breaking out all my tried-and-true tips for surviving long flights, layovers, multiple security checks, and all the other drama that comes with flying. Since international is a whole other animal, I’m sharing my favorite tips for how to survive long flights! If you’ve ever read even […]
As of today, I have 2 more weeks until I’m off to London! Since I’m a planner, I’ve already been working on my packing list and what we’ll be doing/seeing every day. I’ve been once, for a quick weekend trip while I was studying abroad, but I would love any tips/recommendations/etc! Before I pack up, I […]
I’ve been trying to write about our Miami trip since we got home last week, but every time I just end up looking at pictures and plotting our return trip. I absolutely fell in love with Miami, something that I didn’t expect before we arrived. Maybe it was the perfect weather. Maybe it was the […]
It’s back to school season, which means a lot of people are jetting off to spend their semester abroad. Unless this is your first time visiting the blog, you know I loved my study abroad experience, and I constantly preach about its benefits. However, before heading out I was totally lost. I spent countless hours reading […]
Let me start by saying that Prague is not one of my favorite cities, but it’s still worthy of a City Guide. I liked Prague, but I don’t have a burning desire to return (maybe in a few years). There are so many other cities I’d love to see or return to. But, Prague was […]
I’m jumping back into my City Guides series with another favorite city; Paris. I don’t care how cliche it may seem, I love Paris and I will never go enough times. I’ve been twice and I still have a long list of things to do in Paris. But, if the City of Lights is on your […]
I’m switching it up from the usual Friday Favorites post this week to share some of my travel tips. I’m in New York right now for graduation weekend, but since I finished school I’ve gotten out of the habit of always being ready to hop on a plane. When I studied abroad, I felt like I was […]
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 […]
