Today is November 16th, and I am slowly beginning to realize that my adventure is here is going to come to an end very soon. I have met some of the most amazing people here and we have been on amazing adventures. My roommates, Dani and Brittany, and I all went to Italy for our…
Traveling 101
After all of the traveling I have been doing throughout Spain and Europe (stay tuned) I like to think that I have picked up some tricks of the trade. I have become a pro-packer. One backpack, a jacket, a purse and I am good for at least 3-4 days. There are plenty of options for…
One more month…
I cannot believe I only have a month left here in Rome. This experience has flown by, and I still feel like I have so much to see! When people ask me where my favorite place is that I have traveled, I can’t help but to say Rome. There is just so much to do…

I was so excited to explore Paris, the city I had so long dreamed about, that I’ve seen romanticized in books, movies, and TV. The highlight of the weekend was definitely going up the Eiffel Tower. I was surprised by how…
10 Best Things To Do in London
I’m lucky enough to have friends who had studied in London before me, and the feedback I’ve unanimously received is to really take advantage of time in the city. While travel is an exciting part of being in Europe for a semester, there are so many equally exciting and fun things to do within London….
dont send me back to reality
I only have a few more weeks left in London, but sometimes it feels like I only just arrived. I have my plans for winter break and classes for next semester set so it all seems too real. Going home is coming up too fast, and soon it will be back to reality. Last week…
