Late Afternoons on the Vltava River
Late afternoon and early evening are my favorite times of day to be around the Vltava River here in Prague. In good weather, people always come out for paddle-boat sightseeing…. And the light slanting in at this time of day is beautiful, giving all the riverside architecture a timeless look… …as well as adding extra…

Across the Danube River
I posted some photos from the Pest side of the Danube River in Budapest, and now here’s some more from the Buda side! The first thing I saw when I crossed the river: it reads, “confidence in the ancient virtue,” the royal slogan of Franz Josef I, head of the Austro-Hungarian Empire…. The narrow, uphill…

Welcome to Budapest
I was in Budapest early last week for business, but I also had some free time to explore the city. Budapest has a really great vibe – a laid back, happening place that’s a little reminiscent of Prague with its ornate, colorful architecture. First things first when I explore in Europe: gelato! One popular shop…

A Central European Road Trip
I just got back in Prague earlier today after a business trip to Budapest, Hungary. I’m in love with Budapest itself, and the road trip getting there was great, too! From Prague to Budapest is about a 5 hour drive – across the Czech Republic, through Slovakia, and into Hungary. From the road along the…

Business in the Czech Republic

Studying economics in a classroom, however, is totally different from living on the frontlines here in Prague. Being here, I can see firsthand the determination of…

A Room with a View
I’m finally unpacked and settled in my new Czech apartment. Here’s a few photos of the views out the windows…. The building I’m in was constructed in 1905. I like it here. : )

The Road to Prague
Hey everybody, So! I just got back to Prague in the Czech Republic where I’ll be interning this summer. The road getting here was kind of rough – my original flight was delayed, delayed, delayed, and then finally canceled. I had to stay an extra night in Atlanta in a hotel near the airport,…

Guest Blogging over at Lucky Enough
When Lizzie over at Lucky Enough blog asked me to guest post a while back, I jumped at the chance! She writes a great blog about her study abroad adventures in Galway, Ireland, and other trips in Europe. I’m a fan of her blog and excited to take part in it : ) Click here…

Wrapping Things Up
It’s getting late here in Freiburg. I’m catching the early train to Frankfurt in the morning, and flying from there back to the States. It’s been almost exactly four months since I first came to Europe, but the time has flown. Right now I’m feeling…. Sad to say goodbye to all the aaaamazing people I’ve…
