I really had a hard time trying to pin down my favorite place since I have come across so many beautiful, peaceful, memorable, and sentimental places in my lifetime. My host mom in Berlin’s home was very high on the list as well as the sand dunes and Columbia River where my parents used to…

From Germany to Portugal, Italy and in between; this is a collection of all the posts I’ve written about my travels.
A Week in my Life | Milan Fashion Week Edition
Hey guys, I’m back with a vlog and I’m pretty darn proud of it if I do say so myself. I’ve decided to make it a goal to do a YouTube video once a week (probably on Mondays) since I’ve really been missing video editing every day. I thought I would kick this goal off…
I’m Moving to Italy!
I’ve been hinting at this huge news for the last couple weeks and if you follow me on any of my social media you probably already know this, but I’m moving to Italy in February! Why you might ask? Just like my previous hop across the world, the answer is education. I have secured a position…
The First time I ever left the United States; A Summer Studying Abroad in Germany
At the end of May, 2015 (after my junior year of college) I boarded a plane for the first time ever with a nonstop, 11 hour flight from Seattle to Frankfurt. I touched down in Germany and was picked up by my friend, Katharina. She had studied abroad in my little hometown in Washington state…
Düsseldorf, Wuppertal, Köln; Funny Names, Cool Destinations
For the final stop on my backpacking trip around Germany, I went west to the country’s biggest state, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Hamburg; A Surprising Blend of Old & New, Man & Nature
So if I was surprised by how much I loved Leipzig, I was absolutely blown away by how much I love Hamburg. After my relaxing time in the beautiful city of Leipzig, I took a train north to a city I hadn’t really heard much about. Everyone thinks about Berlin when they imagine a bustling German…
Leipzig; One of Germany’s Hidden Gems
Let me tell you, I was completely surprised by how much I loved this city. The couple of posts I looked up as research before I went said that the city was beautiful and worth a stop, but I was not prepared to love it as much as I did. I guess the bus ride…
Munich: The Most Hyped City in Germany
So I finally got tired of all the jaw drops from people when they found out I hadn’t been to Munich yet after living in Germany for a whole year. I really didn’t know what the fuss was about, after all, there are so many beautiful cities in Germany. After finding out that I basically…
Neuschwanstein Castle: The Honest Truth About Germany’s Most Famous Castle
If you have ever looked up photos of Bavaria or even Germany in general you have probably see a mammoth of a grey castle settled among the German Alps looking over a picturesque valley. Every review I saw of both the castle itself and tours of the surrounding area were glowing. It’s like the castle…
A Week Backpacking Portugal!
If you didn’t already know (I only mentioned it a million times), I spring-breaked in Portugal last week! I had such an amazing time so naturally the post is ridiculously long. I apologize in advance but I really did a lot so it was hard to condense. If you want to know how it went,…
