Wow. Time has flown by. It seems impossible that four months ago I was hugging my parents goodbye in the Minneapolis airport and now I am on my final trip of my experience abroad. Enjoy every second of it because time really does fly by. Our final trip began the same way our first trip…
Amalfi Coast
Amalfi Coast As the semester winds down, one of our final trips has come and gone. This weekend was the last trip with the group of girls that I have grown to love, and occasionally hate, over this past semester. We had booked this trip a few months in advanced through the Florence for Fun…
Ireland
I can’t believe that one of my most highly anticipated trips has already come and gone. Ireland has always been one of my top travel destinations and I even considered studying there instead of Italy. Erika, Kara, and I left Florence early Thursday morning for Dublin to catch our flight to Pisa. My friend Natalie…
Crete
This weekend was supposed to be dedicated to writing my final papers for my classes but somehow I ended up on RyanAir and booking a flight back to Greece. I mean who really would rather write about drone warfare or Chinese geopolitical relations over going to Greece? Exactly. No one. I couldn’t pass up the…
Barcelona, Paris, Athens, Santorini
I can’t believe spring break has already come and gone. Somehow I was able to pack for ten days in one backpack. I feel like a miracle worker and this might be one of my highest accomplishments to date. I started my break in Barcelona with Lauren and Natalie. We started our first full day…
Florence and Advice
I am officially halfway through my semester abroad. Where in the heck has time gone?!?! (insert crying emoji). This weeks post will be short since I’m busy with midterms and preparing for my spring break. I’ll start off with my adventures in Florence. I stayed home this weekend, which was much needed since our midterms are…
Prague and Munich
This weeks adventure took seven of my friends and I to Prague and Munich! We started our weekend off in Prague by staying in the Wenceslas Square Hotel. The hotel was in a great location, had Wi-Fi, and a breakfast buffet. I would recommend staying here if anyone needs a place to stay in Prague….
Florence Update
This week’s blog post is a mix of what life in Florence is like, what I’ve been up to during the week, school, and pieces of advice I have so far. First off, life in Florence! Florence is absolutely beautiful and each new place I’ve been to makes me appreciate it more. I like how…
Switzerland
Switzerland is easily one of the most beautiful and expensive places I have ever been. I debated back and forth about going to Switzerland because I have heard horror stories of how expensive a weekend trip can be. This is one of the few times in life that I am glad I caved to peer…
Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg
A reoccurring theme you’re most likely going to read about quite often in this blog is bad luck. This weekend I went to Budapest, Vienna, and Salzburg with my two roommates, Lauren and Haley, then my friend in Rome named Natalie. Our bad luck struck before we had even left Florence. On our way to…
Rome
I officially finished my first week of classes in almost two months. All I can say is props to anyone who goes back to school after taking time off! It’s required through my program to take an Italian language course but I’m taking three other courses that will fulfill my International Studies major. My Italian…
