Home Sweet Home

From England to Minnesota. That was weird. I spent my last couple of nights in England hanging out with the amazing friends I had made, staying up late laughing, singing, dancing, and making some final memories. We woke up early to watch the sunrise from a rooftop to really put a stamp on the occasion.

Venice…the tragically sinking city…that is not actually sinking…oh and Rome

One thing I learned is that Venice is not sinking! Actually, the water is rising because of global warming. How tragic! A beautiful and historic city is drowning in the effects of humans’ disregards for the Earth. That was the more upsetting and morbid fact I learned. Buuuuuut Venice was absolutely beautiful!! That place is

Fire! I mean Firenze … and Levanto too

Two Italian cities down! I’ll be covering Florence and Levanto in this blog post. Both were amazing for different reasons. But first, we eat! Having arrived in Florence in the late afternoon/evening, there wasn’t much left to do but eat (we were also starving). How excited we were! About to have our first reali Italian

Let’s Pretend We’re Dancing in the Streets…of Barcelona!!

Thanks Ed for giving me a great title to my blog for Barcelona! You did that just for me right? Of course you did! Ed sheeran and I are great friends everyone. I’ll get to Barcelona in a second but while I’m talking about Ed Sheeran, fun fact! It turns out Emma and I have

Belgium!!!

Waffles, chocolate, beer, and fries. The four most amazing things Belgium is known for. The beer is STRONG. One pint and that is ALL you need. Let me assure you that I am not exaggerating. Belgian beer ranges from 8-12% so don’t get cocky with Belgian beer! I did not take the advice of our

Copen-hagen out in Amsterdam

That’s a bad title. Definitely not my best. So I’m going to do a two-in-one blog post because it is actually pretty hard to keep up with blog posts and technology in general. This post will include my time in Copenhagen and Amsterdam (in case the title didn’t clue you in). I know for a

On the Streets of Dublin! … and the Cliffs of Moher …and the Guinness Storehouse … now I’m just giving everything away … crap

Wow so Ireland was amazing. What’s really weird is that I’m lying in my hostel bed in Copenhagen, Denmark writing about the time I spent in Ireland. Craziness. Side note, I had already written up this entire blog but then technology decided to take me back to the home page of my phone and the

5 and 1/2 weeks = 39 days = 936 hours = 56,160 minutes = 337,000,000 seconds

Hey everybody! Nothing out of the ordinary is happening this week other than the fact that I have been busy writing essays for classes, packing, last minute travel-size shopping, and just preparing to leave for 39 days . . . as I think you may have guessed by the title. Holy hidden City of Atlantis. I will be traveling

Great Scott!

Surprise! I went to Scotland as a little spontaneous trip by myself. That’s right. I traveled far and wide (mostly just north) all the way to the great capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh (just for your information, it is pronounced Ed-in-burr-uh; as someone corrected me on the pronunciation, I thought I would inform you as

The Two B’s: Bristol and Bath

I like to think I am super clever with my blog titles. But anyways, I went to the cities of Bristol and Bath last weekend and had a pretty good time! First, I must say that I was VERY pleased with the scenery going into Bath. Bath is located in a sort of a lower
