By far the best part about travelling somewhere new is trying out the local cuisine! I am getting hungry just thinking back to these meals… After going somewhere, I try to recreate my favorite foods at home and sometimes they turn out great! But I think the most special thing about these meals is the … More My Favorites: Food
People always ask me, “What was your favorite place?” and I always hesitate to answer because I loved each city for all of the context surrounding it. Maybe I would have liked Switzerland more had I not been sick or perhaps the meal I picked in Prague just could not beat what I had in … More My Favorites: Places
Chiang Mai was the third stop in our Thailand trip and we were not disappointed! After navigating the craziness of Bangkok and laying on a few beaches in the south, Chiang Mai was the perfect end to an adventurous vacation. A little bit about Chiang Mai- it is the main city in northern Thailand with … More Chiang Mai, Thailand
The beaches were quite the change from our time in Bangkok and we were definitely ready for a relaxing 3 days. There were plenty of destinations to choose from, from the party-all-night Phi Phi Islands, to the scuba paradise of Ko Lanta, and everything in between. We found an awesome hostel in Ao Nang, outside … More The Beaches, Thailand
Many people have asked why I decided to go to Thailand and I am here to fill you in. After four adventure-filled months in Europe, I was bit by the so-called “travel bug” and spent my summer making fake itineraries for trips to bizarre places. One day in August, I became very motivated and decided … More Bangkok, Thailand
Switzerland was a part of my Alpen Adventure after Liechtenstein. My original plan was to visit first Liechtenstein and then Lucerne, but I last-minute decided to spend some time in Zurich in between, as I had a train transfer there. Although it was rainy and gross the entire time, I was able to catch some … More Zurich & Lucerne, Switzerland
I don’t mean to be the boy who cried wolf, but holy cow I think Liechtenstein was my favorite trip of this semester. Back in January, I vowed to stop in the country purely for kicks and giggles, but recently decided to stay for longer than a day to thoroughly explore. If you have never … More Liechtenstein
I wrote this post long after my semester abroad, but am going back because it is one of those spontaneous trips I could not overlook. I wrote about all of my adventures that I planned and looked forward to, but failed to recognize the magic behind the days where I hopped on a train and … More Linz, Austria
A few of my friends and I got together to plan some sort of tropical beach trip as a “last hurrah” before heading back to the States. We originally met with Greece in mind, but found the plane tickets to be a little crazy and started exploring Croatia. In no time flat, we found a … More Rijeka, Croatia
Innsbruck was a day trip planned by my study abroad program, so it was a nice break from researching trains, hostels, etc. The week leading up to this trip was quite funny because I kept on thinking, “Oh I’m not going anywhere this weekend,” just because I wasn’t going to another country. Because of this, … More Innsbruck, Austria
