Wanderlust 2018: Barcelona is Always a Good Idea

We made it to our last three-day stop in Barcelona. This was the most bittersweet experience I’ve ever had. We had come to one of the most beautiful cities in all of Spain/Catalonia and yet it was the end of the most amazing trip I had ever taken with some of the best people I…

Wanderlust 2017: While in the South of France, I Remember how Proud I am to be an American

On our way from Paris to Barcelona, we spent the Fourth of July on the beautiful beach in Montpellier. Montpellier is a small town in the south of France that sits on the Mediterranean Sea. Similar to Bruges, we were there for a short period of time, so we didn’t get a chance to experience…

Wanderlust 2017: Down the Avenue Lined with Trees, Paris Bells Ring on the Breeze

Based on my last post, I’m sure you can imagine that the trip from Bruges to Paris wasn’t exactly the easiest ride. We were on the bus for a few hours and I thought at one point I was going to (white girl) die – Kenny kind of died too.   But once we got…

Wanderlust 2017: Created by the British to Annoy the French

What is there to say about Bruges? Well to be honest with you, I kind of blacked out for the one night we were there which almost resulted in me missing the bus to Paris. Thank God for my lovely roommate at the time, Sydney who woke my ass up 10 minutes before we had…

Wanderlust 2017: In Freedom, Most People Find Sin

When I told my friends that I would be spending three days in Amsterdam, they all giggled – understandably so. Amsterdam is a city of freedom; one where it doesn’t matter what you want because you can have it as long as you’re okay with it being regulated – you very rarely hear any complaints….

Wanderlust 2017: Built Not on Stability, But Change

We made it to our final stop in Germany, and I couldn’t have been more excited. I kept daydreaming about walking along the Berlin Wall seeing not only historical sites, but the artwork that has been created all over it. Checkpoint Charlie For many, when they hear Berlin, “Checkpoint Charlie” comes to mind. Checkpoint Charlie…

Wanderlust 2017: Jewel Box

We were heading back to Germany and I was extremely excited. At this point, I was loving my trip. I thought to myself about how I could easily travel forever – and would love to any day. Our next destination was Berlin, but first, we were going to take a couple hour break in Dresden,…

Wanderlust 2017: Czech Yo’self Before You Wreck Yo’self

I totally wrecked myself in Prague. Since I had already visited this city, I had decided that I was going to lay low, rest up knowing it’s about the halfway point of the trip, and take it slow. I did no such thing. Ice, Ice Baby The first night in Prague, we went out to…

Wanderlust 2017: Kenopsia

Kenopsia (noun): The eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet. I want to keep this one short, but think it is extremely important to have a stand alone entry. On our way out of Munich heading to Prague, we made a stop at the Dachau…

Wanderlust 2017: Work That Lederhosen, Baby

After a long stint in Italy and short stop in Austria, we ended up in Munich, Germany! When looking at the initial itinerary, I never would have thought that Munich would be my favorite location to date (minus the Greek Islands, which all of us agree felt as if the islands were a totally different…
