Gus is obviously not nearly as excited as I am. Don't worry, his grandparents and favorite cat sitter are coming to stay with him while I'm gone! (More tips for traveling when you have pets here!) OMG I’m leaving in five days for Portugal. Honestly, it’s probably the shortest trip I’ve taken in a while but I just didn’t think I needed a lot of time there. I’m looking forward to this being a super chill vacation. It’s going to be like no vacation I’ve ever taken before because usually, I’m ... VIEW POST
Leaving on a Jet Plane to Portugal
What it’s Like to See a Live Sex Show in Amsterdam
I was recently thinking about the two times that I'd spent time in Amsterdam. The first time was when I was studying abroad for a summer in London in 2007 and the second was on a Contiki tour the following summer of 2008. During both of these trips, I saw some live sex. In 2007, my friend Emily and I, whom I'd met four days prior to taking off with on a plane, walked into a peep show. We both squeezed into a booth and put our Euros in the slots (insert sex joke) and watched as a man and a ... VIEW POST
How To Travel to Iceland on a Budget
I know Iceland has a bad reputation for being really expensive but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to be rich to visit Iceland! There are a lot of ways to save money so I wanted to write about how to travel to Iceland on a budget to help you save a few bucks when we're allowed to travel again. I went to Reykjavik last June, a month or so after I got laid off from the job that I'd had for over two years. (It was for the best, really.) As I've said before, I'm usually not one to ...

A Three-Day Itinerary in Krakow, Poland
I know Poland has some political issues lately. But every time someone asks me where they should travel solo to after I’ve said Budapest, I always turn my focus to Poland and I wanted to write up the perfect three-day itinerary for Krakow, Poland if you find yourself there in the future. Every single Polish person I met was so nice while I was there in 2016. They all spoke English for the most part, luckily, and they were so excited to show you their beautiful country. It’s full of history and ... VIEW POST
What I Did in Venice, Italy: My Introduction to Wine & Gelato
Happy Friday! This post is inspired by my recent viewing of Spider-man: Far From Home. I can't remember anything about the plot, for the most part (all superhero movies blend together and are pretty much forgettable to me), but I do remember the bulk of it took place in Venice, Italy. Spoiler alert: Much of Venice gets destroyed by the villain, sadly. Although I didn't really like Italy when I was there in 2008 (I know, unpopular opinion!) but I remember that Venice was our first stop and ... VIEW POST
Five Things I Wish I Would’ve Done in Copenhagen
Happy Hump Day! Copenhagen is one of those cities that I had really high expectations for. It was the first of five Scandinavian cities that I visited on my 2015 whirlwind tour of the region and I was so expected. But when I got there, it didn't live up to my expectations. Why? I'm not sure. I think it was because my hostel didn't live up to my expectations and although it was sort-of centrally located, it was really impossible to navigate my way around the city. Copenhagen isn't a grid ... VIEW POST
