Last night I sat around a table with two other girls from Rollins. We had just finished dinner at our favorite Taco place in Brixton, a district in London. We were discussing something that really made me step back and say “wow”. I think it is important enough to write about. We have all changed….
Ireland
I recently just got back from a trip to Ireland with one of my childhood best friends who is also studying abroad this semester with her school in Italy. My favorite part about this trip was the Cliffs of Moher, the views were just breathtaking. We probably took about 300 pictures between the two of…
Venice, Italy (fall break)
During my fall break I also went to Venice, Italy with my roommates, my friend Corey, and his friend Dianne! Before going to Venice I had heard it was very dirty, and there wasn’t much to see. I had mixed feelings about booking the trip to Venice because of all of the hate is was…
Travel Spontaneously
its now been about two weeks since I’ve been back from fall break and it was probably the best time of my life. I went to Italy with two of my roommates and we ended up backpacking around the coast of Italy. We hit Naples, Capri, Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and Venice. We would start…
November Rush

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…
Fan Culture in Japan
Japanese pop culture has become famous all over the world, and for good reason. Sometimes it’s interesting, sometimes it’s beautiful, and sometimes it’s just plain wacky. I’ve been taking a pop culture class while studying at Kansai Gaidai, and we’ve been given many opportunities to learn about and experience many elements of Japanese pop culture…
