A Lazy Day Off
Today was a lazy day for me. I spent some time meandering around and exploring my neighborhood, plus hanging out at a nearby outdoor cafe. I couldn’t really read the Czech menu there, so I ordered randomly off the coffee section and got this espresso + ice cream + whipped cream drink. It was pretty…

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,…

I looove street music. Traveling around some of the big European cities, I’m always excited to see what sorts of music the street musicians play. Accordions in Italy, violins in Stockholm, and all the different kinds in Paris – they’re all so cool! But some of my fave street music is from Copenhagen, Denmark…. …

Recycling in Germany
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’…

Taking a Walk
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…

On the Autobahn
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…

This Week In Pictures
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…
