Lately, I've been reflecting on what the last two years of my life have looked like. It's been filled with heartbreak, worry and the uncertainty of a pandemic - and at the same time, more love and growth than I have ever experienced. Time has felt like it has moved so slowly and as fast [...]
2021 is about to come to a close, and I'm reflecting on my favorite trip of the year: Iceland. In September, we explored the south and west coast of Iceland, including one day in the city, a few different historic stops and many, many waterfalls. I could write for days about our seven days in [...]
If you're going to be in Switzerland, but you only have three days – what should you do? While Zurich can give you a taste of city life, Interlaken gives you the outdoor experience – calm or adventurous – you're looking for. Read on for an ideal three days in Switzerland from my recent trip! [...]
I haven't spent much time in Germany, but the 48 hours I got roaming around two of its most popular cities – Frankfurt and Munich – was pretty rad. We happened to fly in to Frankfurt for our Europe trip, and wanted to explore Munich while Oktoberfest was going on. Here are my recommendations for [...]
Two incredible days in Paris was a perfect ending for our long Europe trip, but definitely left me with the desire to go back and experience more. Initially, I got mixed reviews from friends when planning. Some said Paris was overrated and crowded; others said it was beautiful, just as the movies described it. I [...]
On our way to Paris, we spent a day in Geneva, the capital of Switzerland perched right on Lake Geneva. In all honesty, Geneva was a lot different than some of the other Swiss towns we visited, with a lot of French influence. Geneva was newer and more modern, felt a little less old-timey Swiss [...]
As you may have seen spammed all over my Instagram, Nic and I recently went to Germany, Switzerland and France for a quick tour of some of the spots we've been dreaming of. It was an incredible trip – and more to come on the days in each town! – but I wanted to share [...]
We recently got back from 12 days in Europe, and I had to start my blog series on the trip with my favorite city we visited: Lucerne. This beautiful Swiss city is both quiet and bustling, quaint and fascinating. Lucerne has heavy Catholic and German influences, which makes it an incredibly scenic town. As an [...]
When I was a freshman in college, study abroad was the furthest thing from my mind. I wanted to meet friends, get a good internship and start developing my career. But an opportunity to take a history class in England presented itself rather timely, and I'm not sure where I'd be today if I didn't [...]
I have a habit of buying plane tickets and planning trips that are far from relaxing. I do my best to hit every point of interest, carving out time for hikes and activities throughout the rest of the day. The truth is, my trips don't come with a lot of sleep or relaxation, but I don't mind. That's [...]
