Grocery Shopping in Japan!
Hey, y’all! I finally got around to making a vlog; I hope you enjoy watching it! Feedback welcome 🙂 (The video is about 28 minutes, just letting you know. Sorry it’s so long!)
Auf Wiedersehen, Berlin.
The time has come to bid Berlin farewell. This semester has been full of highs and lows, but everything worked out in the end. I traveled around Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Ireland, the UK and Greece. I had the opportunity to intern with an international business and meet some amazing people who are going to …

But my adventures are not over yet. After the program ends I will be traveling around the Balkans, spending time in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria for a …
¿Eres francés? and other ironies
Well then! Here’s my food for the post, known colloquially in Quechua as lawa wallpa chaki, and in English as the exquisite Chicken foot soup. Okay, so I told a white lie. Rather than soup, it was perhaps more akin to couscous, which my host family served to me cooked with the foot of a chicken to give …
First Impressions
Yes, yes, yes, I am alive and in Japan!!! Sorry if it seems like I’ve been M.I.A. lately! My first few days here were absolutely wonderful, and as much as I wanted to share my thoughts about the beginning of my journey, I really wanted to just soak everything up by myself first. I didn’t …
