Yesterday afternoon I made one last trip for the semester and I traveled to Milan for the night. Despite only spending about 24 hours +/- in Milan (including travel to/from), I was very busy and had a great time! I had heard mixed things about Milan; some people said they loved it, others said they […]Read Post ›
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a whole week since I left Amsterdam and returned to Rome after my 12-day journey for spring break. Not surprising, this week flew by as the rest have and now I only have 2 weeks left before I bid farewell to my study abroad experience. Cannot believe it…on […]Read Post ›
Day 4 I set aside this day to spend at Château de Versailles which is about a 45 minute train ride outside of the city center, but really easy to get to. I arrived at 11AM and as soon as I got there and saw the line I realized I made a big mistake and […]Read Post ›
Hi everyone! I have been meaning to write this post for a few days now, but immediately after Paris I went to Amsterdam so I am kind of behind. Arrival Day I arrived in Paris last Saturday, April 4th straight from Istanbul. I was able to take a train directly from Charles de Gaulle into […]Read Post ›
Merhaba everyone! I am writing to you from Paris, my 2nd destination for spring break. Prior to Paris, I was in Istanbul for 2 days visiting friends from the U.S. Istanbul was A LOT bigger than I anticipated and I wish I had had more time there, but I made the most of the time […]Read Post ›
Hi everyone! As some of you may know, yesterday was Palm Sunday so I wanted to take this chance to post a few photos from my local church in Trastevere. After Mass, I met my friend and we drove to Ostia and spent the afternoon at the beach. Ostia is about an hour away from […]Read Post ›
Hi everyone! I spent the afternoon in Vatican City yesterday and since it is technically its own separate enclave — the smallest in the world, I figured I would do a short post to share my experience and a few pictures too. Because my apartment is only a 15 minute walk from the Vatican City, […]Read Post ›
Hello, again. So I decided to write about my visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau separately from my time in Kraków because it just seemed more appropriate that way. We got back from Oświęcim around 6PM. Between traveling since 3am that morning and the emotional toll of visiting the concentration camp the whole day, I was physically and […]Read Post ›
Hi everyone, sorry my blog has been on hiatus since I went to Florence two weeks ago. I stayed in Rome the weekend afterwards and I didn’t have anything too riveting to post. This weekend I traveled to Poland and the primary purpose of my trip was to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Memorial which is […]Read Post ›
Hey everyone! I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for my next post with bated breath. Lucky for you, the wait is over. I got home late last night from Florence where I was visiting my friend Vari, who came to visit me in Rome a few weeks back. I arrived in Florence on Saturday morning, […]Read Post ›
