art + travel + photography
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 […]
First, my Kindle broke. Then my iPod semi-broke. To keep the theme going, I broke my sunglasses… and after that my Internet went out.
In school, I’ve always learned that the Czech Republic is one of the prime examples for a successful transition from a communist command economy to a free market economy. 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 […]
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. : )
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, […]

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 […]
Recycling in Germany can be precise. It took a while for me to get the hang of it, during which time I started collecting recyclables in my room…. The situation soon got desperate, and it was time to figure out German recycling. It’s especially important here in Freiburg, known for being one of the prominent ‘green’ […]
I’ve talked before about getting around Germany, where the train is definitely my go-to mode of transport. But sometimes I also get the chance to take buses on the autobahn, or German highway. The interesting thing about the autobahn in the area where I live: no official, federal speed limit! Generally, the advice is […]
You’re in for a treat! Here’s a special guest post from Lizzie over at Lucky Enough Blog. She’s studying in Galway, Ireland and today’s she sharing how Ireland has lived up to her expectations…. as soon as i told friends and family that i was going to study abroad, i received the exact same feedback […]
