art + travel + photography
Just a quick update… I’ve been working in Budapest, Hungary for a couple of days – this city is great! I really love it. When I get back to Prague, I’ll have more time to show you some more photos – but until the big reveal, here’s some sneak-peak photos of where I’ve been walking. […]
I love weekends in Europe. Last Saturday, I went to a Czech outdoor festival with looots of great food…. And then, on Sunday, I went up to one of the highest places in Prague with great views of the city. There was this calm park… …plus several rose gardens…. And towards the end of the […]
A few photos from this week…. Prague’s Charles Bridge is my new favorite place to be while watching the sun set – it falls behind the Prague Castle and the play of light is amazing…. Love walking along the Vltava River – the riverside architecture is all so unique. I take the tram to work […]
The weather is so nice this week in Freiburg! It’s inspiring me to take more walks. Although I usually hop on the tram in the mornings, I like to do the 30 minute walk back to my dorm after classes. I love the sights and smells of springtime Germany in the evening. : ) Here […]
This week I’m in Rome, Italy enjoying la dolce vita, or the good life. : ) Here are a few photos from the past few days…. Cappuccinos are a must-try in Rome. Italians make some of the best, and my fave is when they sprinkle chocolate on the top…. Back in Germany, I almost never […]
Here’s a few photos from this week in Freiburg! A quirky thing I noticed yesterday – you can buy batteries individually here. At home, I normally only buy batteries in huge packages of 20 or more. Soccer Football is a huge deal here. This street-performer was keeping it fancy and entertaining with his tricks…. […]
During our field study trip focusing on institutions of the European Union, my study abroad program offered the chance to explore the Palace of Versailles near Paris. In Part I, I shared some photos of the grounds and architecture outside. Now, here’s some photos from inside the Palace! Once inside, anything and everything you see […]
During our field study trip to Paris, my study abroad program provided an optional excursion to Versailles (just like the optional trip to the Swiss Alps) to see the famous Palace that served as the seat of political power in France for about 100 years in the 17th-18th century. The Palace of Versailles is […]
It’s been sooo busy these past few days here in Freiburg! Everyone had a lot of projects, papers, and presentations due this week, which meant a lot of hours at the library and in the computer lab. Last week, I went to Luxembourg, Brussels, and Paris to study institutions of the European Union and […]
We’ve been working in a couple of my classes on reflections, essays, and projects from the Berlin trip. Berlin is a hard city to describe…. every time I thought I had gotten an idea of the vibe of the city, I encountered some totally different aspect of it. So here are three quick scenes, […]
