I’m sorry I’m super behind writing this post considering it’s now mid-September and my classes at Bocconi finished early June. Right after I was done with my studies I took off on my trip around Italy and then I was writing my thesis and then I moved home and so this is the first time…

What it’s REALLY like to Write your Master’s Thesis
I think a lot of people have some sort of preconception as to what it’s like to write a thesis or conduct some big research project. Whether it resembles reality is another question. While many may never get the opportunity (or wouldn’t ever want the opportunity cause let’s face it… it ain’t fun), and while…
Why you Should Backpack Scandinavia this Summer
When you hear Scandinavia, do you think of snow, Santa, killer healthcare, and a bunch of tall, ridiculously attractive blonde guys? Yea? Me too, or at least I used to. Back in 2015 when I was studying abroad in Berlin, I decided to take my very first backpacking trip to the Nordics. I made the…
My Weekend at Milano Design Week
Fuorisalone (or Design Week in English) is one of the biggest weeks of the year for Milan, possibly even bigger than Fashion Week and by far more accessible to the general public. It lasts a whole week and is spread out all over the city. It’s mostly for interior design, lighting and other housing materials…
A Beginners Guide to Germany; 25 Tips to help Bridge the Culture Gap
Ah Germany, land of the punctual, recycling, and schnitzel. I recently returned to the country after having lived there for a couple years. While I didn’t experience any culture shock this time around, it served as a reminder of all the things that had once been learning curves. I also had with me my friend…
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…
“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…
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…
