I came back from Berlin last week only to find out that all of my roommates were taking off for Spring Break and that I still had an itch to travel despite the fact that I’m broke AF (which is why I came straight home from Berlin in the first place). After a bit of…
Sunrise… a New Beginning – A Weekly Photo Challenge
Sunrise is very symbolic; often meaning a new beginning, a fresh start. It’s very fitting for where I am at in my life at the moment, applying to jobs that will be the first steps in my career. At this moment, the sun has not yet risen over the horizon, not quite. Instead, it is…
Finland is my Happy Place – A Weekly Photo Challenge
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…
A Mid-Semester Update
As I get ready to head off to Berlin for spring break, I thought now would be a good time to update you all on how my semester at Bocconi is going. Overall, things are going really well and I’m really enjoying Milan. If you just wanted the quick and dirty answer then there you…
I’d Rather be Traveling – A Weekly Photo Challenge
While I try not to do too many of these challenges in a row, this week’s prompt was too perfect to pass up. “I’d rather be ___.” I didn’t even have to think twice before answering “traveling.” I guess it’s a good thing I’m off to Berlin in just a few days then, huh? While I’ve…
6 (Not so Expensive) Things Worth Investing in for Travel
I am a budget traveler in every sense of the term. I buy budget airline tickets on sale and will skip meals just to save a few bucks if I find myself in a tourist trap. But when it comes to gear, there are definitely some things that you shouldn’t forgo for the sake of…
“Story” – A Weekly Photo Challenge
Conveying a story in photo is very difficult especially for those like me who tend to take photos of the surrounding city as opposed to myself (selfies don’t count here haha). But after scrolling back a few months I remembered this photo my friend took of me and thought how well it conveyed a sense…
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…
6 Things I Regret Packing when Moving to Europe
It’s been almost 2 years since I moved to Germany. I’ve made 3 smaller moves and an international one since then where I’ve really had to examine everything and decide if it’s worth it to keep. Having to be so cut-throat means that there are inevitably things I decided not to keep and so I wanted…
My Troubled Relationship with the German Language
Now that I have officially left Germany, I think it’s probably the appropriate time to share some of my final thoughts and impressions of the country, starting first with their language. Why German? In terms of American exposures to foreign languages, my relationship with German is relatively extensive. I began studying it when I transferred…
