After ten days of constant travel over Spring Break, you’d think I’d be ready for a moment of stillness. Nope. The week following my three-country adventure, I was booked for a weekend in San Sebastian. And I was actually looking forward to it.
How do I begin to talk about Amsterdam? Well, for starters, we decided to take a train from Berlin to Amsterdam in order to get a peak at the central European countryside. Unfortunately, because of our night before, we were wiped out for the first couple of hours. But I made sure to pop my …
I didn’t know what to expect in Berlin. While packing to leave London, my roommates and I looked at each other and asked, “So, what’s in Berlin?” We’re great planners. No matter, as what usually happens when I have no expectations, I ended up loving Berlin. It actually was my favorite part of my Semana …
One of the best parts of studying abroad is Semana Santa (direct translation: Easter Week). This means ten days – yes, ten days! – off from school and, therefore, a perfect opportunity to travel. While several classmates chose to visit the warm coast of Spain or eat gelato and pizza in Italy, two of my …

For winter break, my roommate Brie and I decided to spend five days in Prague. Prague was one of the cities I was most excited for – having heard so many good things about it – and Prague did not disappointment me. I loved my little Prague! And so did Brie.
Our second day of Paris was our museum day (and there are really a lot of museums in Paris). We began our day with the discovery of a local street market, leading to the enjoyment of a nutella crepe for breakfast. Then we were on our way to the Musée de l’Orangerie, where I was …
I apologize for the cliché (another French word) title but I thought it was appropriate since I was in Paris this weekend. I know that Paris is one of those places that people either hate or love and I personally was charmed by it. But it was slightly overwhelming. The city of Paris was so …
