I do normally post these blogs in order, but I have been busy with a ton of stuff over here related to school, moving back to the states, classes ending for the summer and lots of other random stuff. My trip to Grand Canary was in May. Yes, I realize that was 3 months ago and … More JMU Reunion in Grand Canary
If you have ever been on Pinterest perusing the most beautiful places in Europe, you have definitely seen pictures of the towns of Cinque Terre (pronounced CHing-queh Terr-ey). “Cinque Terre” translated literally from Italian means “The Five Lands”. Cinque Terre is a rugged part of the Northern Italian coast that consists of five seaside villages: … More Hiking the Hills (Mountains) of Cinque Terre, Italy
Venice, Italy is called the “City of Romance”, the “City of Canals”, the “City of Bridges”, “The Floating City”, and the “Queen of the Adriatic”. I, personally, think a more fitting name for the city would be “The Labyrinth City” because it is truly a very confusing maze. Venice was exactly what I expected, and … More Lost in Venice: Wandering through the City of Canals
London was never on my European travel itinerary, but thanks to Spanish bureaucracy, I booked a weekend trip for London 3 days before I left and hoped for the best. I have been very hesitant to travel alone because of my absolutely horrendous sense of direction combined with no access to Google Maps. I also … More Keep Calm and Go to London: Solo Adventure #1 in London Town
My friend Megan and I decided to visit Morocco for a girls’ weekend. Neither of us had ever been to the country, which is located in Northern Africa, and I wanted to check another continent off of the list. I had heard mixed reviews about visiting Morocco, and was curious to see if I could … More Fumblin’ through Fez: American Lady-Girls Spice Up Morocco
If you told me last year while I was sitting at my desk doing miles of paperwork for clinical trials that I would be spending the weekend in Hungary, I would have told you that you should probably go see a doctor because you’re insane (a common theme on this year-long adventure). Budapest has been … More Ballin’ in Budapest: Our Hungarian Baecation
When Jenna and I spoke on the phone for the first time after deciding on Italy for Spring break, we knew that Rome would be our “base” but that we wanted to take a day trip. The first city that came to both of our minds was Florence. Florence was the city that I originally … More Frolicking in Firenze
I spent my Spring Break in Italy. I spent my Spring Break in Italy. I spent my Spring Break in ITALY!!!!!!! I keep repeating that phrase in my head and still can’t believe that it was real life. It still feels like a dream that I was able to have this experience, let alone that … More Chillin’ with da Papa: Spring Break in Italia
I have been pretty MIA from this blog in the last month, mostly because things have been crazy hectic here in Barcelona. I spent last weekend in Mallorca (or Majorca for all of you Americans), but other than that, I have been in Barcelona since my trip to Madrid. However, by no means have I … More Island Living (for a weekend) & Barcelona Updates
Planning my trip to Madrid was a last-minute whirlwind. I have been dying to go see Spain’s capital city since I arrived in Barcelona in November. I found out last Thursday that my last class on Friday was cancelled so I figured why not spend the weekend in Madrid? Of course, since it was so … More Madrid Madness: Adventures through Spain’s Capital
