How do I even begin with Ireland? I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful country of Ireland during St. Patrick’s Day weekend. I took the trip with other study abroad students from LMU and stayed in Dublin. When arriving in Dublin, everything was already decked out in green, white, and orange (the colors of …
At St. Louis University Madrid, a retreat was organized to visit Loyola, in the Basque Country. I have been traveling constantly for about two months straight. In other words, every weekend I go somewhere and then return to Madrid for school during the week. So I decided that going on a retreat would be a …
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 …

My day in Seville was an unexpected one. I had planned with some other girls, who were studying abroad from LMU, like me, to go on a trip to Morocco through a tour group that was leaving from Seville. We had to take a separate bus that took us from Madrid to Seville. We ended …
I just had to write a separate post about my food experiences in Porto, Portugal. I think one of the most exciting things about visiting a country and the best way to be introduced to a new culture is eating the food of that country. Our first night in Porto, two of my roommates and …
Despite the lack of sleep (which I’ve learned is becoming a trend for me while living in Europe), my roommates and I woke up in time for another free tour – different from the one we took the day before – that started at 10:30 am. Once again, our tour began with pouring rain – …
This past weekend I decided to finally venture outside of my dear Spain. Before the rush of trips began, my roommates and I wanted to plan a trip all together. So all seven of us booked a flight to Porto, Portugal. Most people, when I told them I was going to Portugal, asked if I …
