On Saturday I flew back to Washington DC from London and went back to my life in America. It seems as if I never left and kind of like my time in London was a dream. It is so surreal to have had this experience and come back to America as a changed person. From…
Thank you, London
I have been home for a few days now and the feeling has truly not set in. I feel like I am just on another weekend trip and that I will be returning to Mile End shortly. Although this may be the case, I am thankful that I have made it home safely and for…
Missing Amsterdam Already
It’s been about a week since I returned home to Florida from Amsterdam and I already miss the Amsterdam life. I miss my bike and riding around the canals and seeing all the beautiful houses. I miss my cappuccinos at the local hipster cafes and going on adventures around the city everyday with no destination….
Last 2 Weeks
Now that I am back home in the states, I finally have a chance to write about my last adventure and final week in Spain. The first weekend in December I took a BlaBlaCar to Madrid to meet my good friend, Ada, who was studying abroad in Ireland. After a little bit of confusion and…
Japan – Overtures and Preludes
When you begin to write and explain an experience, along the way you come to realize that by recording the experience you begin to miss out on what is really happening around you. The first few weeks I spent ambling around in Kyoto and the Kansai area I was stricken with a clear feeling that “Japan was…
The Final Countdown
Hello, Welcome back! From my last post, I informed everyone I would take a “quicky” (quick trip) in the following week to visit my friends in Rome before their departure from Europe. Shortly after my first exam, I prepared to leave for Hamburg Airport on December 13 to catch my 6:40 am flight. Once I…
Amsterdam (10/20/16)
*flashback* So the story behind how and why this trip was planned is really unique. One day a few friends and I decided to go explore Westminster area and take the typical touristy pictures, one of which included the famous big ben and phone booth picture. During this I was also filming footage for my…
Another trip before departure
The past 4 months have really flown by. I have been to many countries spanning North America, South America, and Asia. Part of the reason I love to travel isn’t just to go sightsee. Each time I go to a new place, meet new people, get to know new cultures and have new experiences, it…
I LEAVE TOMORROW??
Winding down now for the end of the semester. At this point, I’m just trying to fit in all of the things I wanted to do, but haven’t gotten around to yet. On December 10th, a friend and I went to The Breakfast Club, and yes, it is themed like the movie. The food is…
So this is goodbye… さようなら！
Well, this is it. My finals are done, the other exchange students are moving out, and I’m getting ready to say goodbye to Japan. Although it’s a bit sad to be leaving what I have grown to consider my second home, I’ve made so many great friends and memories so I can’t say that I…
