Czeching out Prague

Prague was my last trip before returning to Paris for my last week of study abroad. This was also the only trip that I didn’t have completely planned out. I had no idea what I wanted to do, see, or eat. I barely googled the city before taking off on Friday. This worked out pretty […]

Amster-dam this place is cool

I knew that I was going to like Amsterdam long before I went but nothing could have prepared me for how awesome this city is. There is so much to do, see, and eat. I went there only planning to see a couple of things but ended experiencing so much more. Day one was setting […]

Beauty in Morocco

I recently I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful country of Morocco. This was the fist time I’d ever stepped foot in Africa but it certainly won’t be my last. While I spent six days in Morocco, we really only spent two days doing anything besides sitting in an airport or on a bus. […]

Battlegrounds

This weekend I traveled with my study abroad program to the regions of Normandy and Brittany. I’ve been to a small part of Normandy before but I was super excited to go back and see even more of its beautiful landscape. Day one started at the Caen Memorial Museum. It’s home to a fantastic and […]

Feeling Defeated in Barcelona

This weekend I got to add another country to my list as I ventured to Barcelona, Spain. The atmosphere was amazing, the people were nice, and the food was awesome. I’m struggling with how to talk about the trip when it comes to individual days and overall feelings because while things started out well, it […]

The Different Types of Study Abroad

I’ve been in Paris for about three weeks now which is the amount of time I spent studying abroad in Ecuador. Having completed a service learning study abroad and being in the process of completing a more traditional study abroad, I thought I’d talk about the four biggest differences between the two. I chose both programs […]

Château Shopping

This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting a part of France called Loire Valley. This region is known for its châteaux. We visited three of them over the course of two days. One thing that is common throughout all of the châteaux is that they don’t have a lot of furniture in them. This […]

43 Hours in Venice

This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most iconic cities in Italy. I’ve always wanted to go to Venice and I knew I had to go when I found out I’d be studying in Paris. There’s also this really awesome person named Sierra who happens to be studying in Italy and […]

Week One in Paris

My first week in Paris is done. So how’s it going? All in all, pretty well. I didn’t really believe I was here until a couple of days ago when I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time. That’s hard to believe (even for me) considering I walked passed Notre Dame for three days before […]

Packing for Study Abroad

Once again I find myself in the agonizing position of waiting to leave on what could be my greatest adventure yet. My semester abroad is about to begin and if I’m being honest, it’s a little overwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing that could stop me from getting on that plane in September but […]
