Find the Shortcuts

Happy Sunday, Readers! I hope your weekend is coming to a wonderful close and you aren’t too sad about starting the next week of school. For me, this week has been filled to the brim with everything from the awesome experience of starting class in a new country to the lovely views of Howth and …

A New Season in Ireland

I’m here, I’m here, I’m here, Readers! It’s been a long time coming and it’s a bit surreal, but I’ve finally made it across the pond and into this crazy adventure in Dublin, Ireland. Now, I could talk about my first reactions to Ireland (which were SO positive) or what I think of their scones (AMAZING) but instead …

Spring Break in Nice, France!

It’s been a while, but I am back to update you on my recent spring break trip in Nice, France! I was ready for a little getaway before finals and last-minute papers and essays, so a vacation on the beach was exactly what I needed. This time around, I did things a bit differently compared …

Final Weeks in Paris

Three weeks. Three weeks until my time in Paris will come to an end. The past five months I have spent in this city have changed me in more ways than I can count. Being on my own in a foreign country thousands of miles away from the comfort of my own home has been one wild ride, …

My Favorite Museums in Paris!

When I was younger, I would always love going to museums during field trip days. It was exciting to not go to classes and spend the day in a museum! I don’t remember if my parents had to pay anything, but it was probably $10 or less. As I grew older, I realized why I stopped …

72 Hours in Florence, Italy

Weekend Adventure: Exploring Paris!

I am currently in the midst of midterm week(s) with papers, presentations, and exams, so I have been a bit busy, to say the least. However, I wasn’t going to let all of my work get in the way of me enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having here in Paris! As you can imagine, …

Winter Break in Spain: Malaga

So this will be my last and final post on my winter break in Spain! Like I mentioned in my last post, plans were changed last minute so we could get to our final destination a bit earlier than planned. Actually, it was a bit funny because we didn’t decide on how to get there …

Winter Break in Spain: Madrid

Hello again! As promised, I am back to write about the second city in Spain I visited during my week long winter break: Madrid! Madrid is quite different from Barcelona, I might say, other than the fact that they are both the biggest cities in Spain. Upon arrival, I noticed that Madrid had the busy …

Winter Break in Spain: Barcelona

Hello! I have been gone from the blog for a while because as you may have guessed from the title of this post, I was away on winter break! I had a whole week to travel and the possibilities of where I could go were endless. However, the idea of going to Spain had been …
