I went to Morocco as part of a 6 week backpacking trip in November, 2018. I never wrote about it (what's wrong with me??), but I just created this beautiful story map to outline some of the things I did while there. I was only in Fes for about 3 days, but boy was it … Continue reading Fes, Morocco
Chillin in Istanbul
Istanbul is a relaxing destination full of diverse culture and breathtaking architecture.
Getting Pampered in Ancient Egypt, but first a night in Athens
As I hopped off the plane at CAI with a dream and scarf, I pondered my time since Budapest. It was quite a long journey, actually. Due to the cost of a direct flight from Budapest to Athens (from which my flight to Cairo was leaving), and my lack of planning for that jump, I … Continue reading Getting Pampered in Ancient Egypt, but first a night in Athens
Living it Up in Budapest
Budapest, you were grand. We arrived very early, hours before check in, but headed straight to our hostel to drop off our luggage. Immediately, we started making friends. The hostel we stayed in was what you might consider a "party hostel." It was called Unity Hostel at Udvar. I highly recommend it. We met two … Continue reading Living it Up in Budapest
A Day at Auschwitz & Major Life Changes
After getting off the night bus, Danielle, Sam and I stored our luggage in lockers and picked up a snack at the station. While I grabbed a green smoothie to go, Danielle and Sam wanted to experience McDonalds in a foreign country. To the American Embassy we went. While I sipping on my lunch, I … Continue reading A Day at Auschwitz & Major Life Changes
Lessons from Berlin
Berlin is a city full of history pertaining to both World War II and the Soviet Union. My time there was focused on these events, as well as making up silly German-Dutch-esque words with Danielle and Sam. (We're convinced this new language will win us a Nobel Peace Prize). When we first arrived in Berlin, … Continue reading Lessons from Berlin
J’aime Paris
Where to begin... This sounds cheesy but Paris has always been in my heart. My grandpa's name was Paris, my cousin's name is Paris, following a long line of Parises in my family. Getting to come back to this city is such a pleasure- and I'm sure it won't be my last visit. We arrived … Continue reading J’aime Paris
First Stop: Amsterdam
Amsterdam is most definitely one of my favorite cities in the entire world. It is the third time I have visited and each time has been so different. This time, I was only in town for about 36 hours, so I tried to make the most out of it. When I arrived at Amsterdam Centraal … Continue reading First Stop: Amsterdam
Journey Across the Pond
If you're reading this, I've made it safely across the Atlantic Ocean from Sanford-Orlando to Brussels! If you've never flown out of the Sanford Airport- it's unlike any flight experience I've ever had. The airport appears to be abandoned once you're inside, and the gates float depending on traffic. Miggie at the bar was very … Continue reading Journey Across the Pond

On June 6th, I leave my home town for the trip of a lifetime. My journey will last upwards of two months, during which time I plan to live fully out of a backpack and carry-on suitcase. I will be traveling to numerous countries throughout Europe, before spending 4 weeks in … Continue reading Preparations & Precious Cargo
