When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Or at least, try to mimic a fraction of what they're up to. I certainly did a few things that maybe only a select few Romans might do. Rome is basically a fountain wonderland. And I'm not talking

Ciao, fellow wanderlusters! Fasten your seatbelts and whip out your gelato spoons, because boy, have I got a tale of Italian escapades for you. First things first, I just want to say: Italy is amazing. No, really. I get the hype now. It's like walking through a Renaissance

Back in Brussels for a quick pit stop and a hair appointment before I head to Italy. I'm particularly thrilled about Italy for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, I'll be reuniting with my brother, sister, and a few dear friends. There's always that lingering

Back for another update! I'm wrapping up my month here in Albania, and as I sit here in my house in the middle of Tirana, I'm amazed by the rich history and strong spirit of this place. I believe knowing about the past can help us

What's GOOD!! Coming to you live from Tirana, Albania's vibrant capital, I've been swept up by its invigorating atmosphere. There's a sense of newfound liberty here that's so unlike other places I've been to, offering the carefree spirit.

Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts! I hope you've been well and thriving while I've been away for the past three weeks. I owe you all a big apology for the lack of updates during this time. Life took an unexpected turn while I was in Spain, and

Hey there, my fellow night owls and adventure seekers! If you've been following my blog, you know I'm always up for a good time, and today I'm taking you on a wild ride through the vibrant nightlife of Lisbon, Portugal. Prepare yourself for a

I have to start with one thing and get it out of the way: Lisbon has hills, lots and lots of hills. I'm talking about long hills, short hills, red hills, blue hills, old hills—hills from here to there. The funny thing is, hills are everywhere. Even

I've been in Europe for 7 weeks now. Today is my second-to-last day in Dublin, and I leave for Lisbon tomorrow. I'm about halfway through this trip, so I figured I should just talk about my overall experience being here for a decent amount of time.

The Melodic Mystery of Belfast English Stepping onto the lively streets of Belfast, I was immediately struck by a linguistic phenomenon that felt akin to deciphering the bayou drawl of Louisiana. It's English, or so they say, but if you're not a local, you might find

When it comes to flying, a piece of advice: arrive a little earlier than expected. This isn't just about potential busyness; navigating airports in Europe is a unique experience compared to the United States. So, giving yourself a buffer is a smart move. It's been a

Yerrrr! I hope you're all doing great. This past weekend, I decided to celebrate my birthday in Amsterdam, and let me tell you, it truly lived up to the hype. Before diving into the details of my weekend adventure, I'd like to share a few interesting

When I first arrived in Brussels, I must admit, I hadn't even heard much about this city until a few weeks prior. Contrary to my experiences in Bordeaux and Paris, Brussels has a distinct old-world charm that sets it apart. However, I soon found myself captivated by the

My vacation in France is over. Getting here wasn't too bad. I took an afternoon flight connected in DC and then DC to Paris. The flights were smooth, layover was easy, no issues whatsoever. Once I landed in France, my friend Caroline and I got breakfast at a

Everything I owned was reduced to what you see in the picture above. A carry-on and a backpack were all I brought on this trip to Europe. I planned on buying things as I traveled, but I wanted to start off as light as possible. So light, in fact, that

In this blog post, I want to cover some of the preparations I made before embarking on my journey and set the stage for my plans. I've been living in Nashville, TN since August 2015. I've had an amazing time here, from the wonderful people I&
