While in London, I knew I wanted to travel and venture out, so fall break allowed the perfect amount of time for me to do so. My friends and I found a Bus2Alps program that allowed us to travel to Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris! October 23rd-November 1st, 10 days of non-stop traveling by…

One Suitcase, Ten Days (Thanks, RyanAir)
October has gone by in a whirlwind, taking with it Halloween festivities and an amazing Fall Break adventure. Since the middle of summer, my flatmates (as the Brits would say), have been brainstorming about what to do for Fall Break. The advantage of studying abroad in Europe, albeit not on the continent, is having the…
Fall Break is Over… Back to Reality
The rest of my weekend in Ibiza was relaxing and exciting. It was exactly what I needed and wanted: to spend the time with my boyfriend having lots of food and drinks by poolside. Sunday afternoon we had a layover in Barcelona. It was just for a few hours but I could tell it was…
FALL BREAK
In the span of 10 days I visited 4 countries. I signed up for the Weekend Student Adventures (WSA) tour of Central Europe. They are a tour company owned by Rick Steve’s son, Andy. We began the trip in Berlin, Germany then headed to Prague, Czech Republic, Krakow, Poland, and finished in Budapest, Hungary. Berlin: I…
A “Proper” Halloween :) as they say in the UK
The Halloween celebrations in the United Kingdom began the week before Halloween. My roommates and I visited Thorpe Park, an amusement park a few hours outside the city. We rode some haunted themed roller coasters that took us on an upside down thrilling adventure. The park set up many haunted mazes. Once darkness came around,…
Bye bye Fall Break.
My time for traveling has sadly come to an end, as my brief respite from school and work ends today. On the exciting side however, this week is symbolic of being in London for over half of my program! Parts of this are exciting, while parts of it are sad. Just last night I met…
Ode to Baklava
Do not go to Greece. I repeat, do not go to Greece. It will ruin you. Fall break was a whirlwind, Whereas most people seemed to explore one or two places, I ran through three countries and five cities. First up was Prague. A midnight trip to a city where words look like gibberish is…
London UK
Good afternoon, good evening or good night. Right now, it is 10:27 PM London time. What an amazing few weeks it has been. I took a trip to the Kenilworth Castle in Stratford and enjoyed the views of some beautiful castle ruins. To get there, I enjoyed a ride through the farmlands and countryside of…
Up at the O2
A little bit of background: I do not enjoy heights. Roller coasters, don’t mention them. Anything that does not require my feet being planted on the ground is not a thought that comes to mind. Well, one step at a time, and 52 meters (about 170 feet) later, I got over that fear, even if…
I’m not ready for you, Winter.
I may be from Colorado but studying at Rollins sure has made me a wimp when it comes to the weather! About two weeks ago it started getting colder, and when I say colder I’m talking the lower to mid 50s. Let me just say, I haven’t missed this weather. The funny thing is though,…
