Before going abroad, I did not have much planned for what I would do in London. I basically wanted to see the tourist sites, go to the countryside, and see as many West End shows as possible (the West End is the Broadway of London). When arriving in London, I knew...

I’m at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art! No, not that Louisiana. This one is named after the wives of the founder of the museum, a rather old-school convention for such a progressive museum. This museum had some of the most cutting edge exhibits I have ever...

Hello from the top of Kronborg Castle! Ever since I was little, I loved the castles and forts that were constructed during the medieval part of our human history. The moats, the bridges, the towers, everything. Finally seeing one of these European beauties was...

Hello from the South Island of New Zealand! So far, the weather here has been even colder than the North Island (where we spent our first week), so I thought I would go over some of the most used items I brought, and some things I probably could have left at home....

For my second blog post I’m discussing what it’s like to live and study in Florence and travel to other popular destinations in Italy. At first, it was a little bit of a culture shock, but there are so many amazing things about Italy. The people are very kind, the...

Greece was amazing, and after being home for a bit, I really miss it. I think the trip helped me grow as a person and helped me see who I am and who I can be. I know, it sounds so far fetched, but seriously. While I was there, I met so many amazing people, not just...
