Since my ferry ride did not turn out like it was meant to, I have two full days to explore Athens. I spent the day walking around the city and headed to the one museum open on a Monday. I thought the National Archaeological Museum would be incredibly interesting considering the history of Greece. I was…

Ios is just like Cancun…or Cabo…or spring break anywhere
Going into my little Greek Islands trip, I knew that Ios would be a lot different than Santorini. I just had no idea HOW different it would be! We stayed at Far Out which is known as a party hostel and I was prepared to be there. However, when I got there, I realized the…
A childhood dream realized
I’m in Greece! Greece! I keep saying it to myself and I cannot believe it. Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to travel to Greece and Egypt. Egypt will have to wait for another trip (as of now). When people ask me, “how are you?” I often reply with “living the dream.”…
24 hours of travel to span 1095 miles
Sometimes getting from one place to another place that look seemingly close on a map, can end up taking almost 24 hours. I needed to get from Prague to Santorini and the cheapest flight happened to be Prague to Santorini via Copenhagen with a 12 hour layover. I decided to actually leave the airport and…
Self guided walking tour of Prague
I lost my Fitbit somewhere between Rome and Split and really wish I had it for the day I had walking around Prague. It all started with a mission to the post office (open basically 24 hours a day) to mail post cards I have had since Germany (May)! After that it was a walk…
Museums, museums and museums
Today was a Prague museum crawl day. It all started with an Andy Warhol exhibit at the Gallery of Art Prague. I have seen Andy Warhol plenty of times in various museums, but I have never seen a Warhol exhibition. Many of the famous pieces were there as well as a few that I…
Beer and friends and bones…oh my!
Everyone that has ever been to Prague has told me what an amazing place the city is. I can say that after one day, I completely agree. I arrived in Prague still not feeling 100% but knew that I had friends to meet up with. One of the things Prague and the Czech Republic are…
Sick in Budapest
Budapest is an absolutely amazing city! Unfortunately, I was sick most of the time I was there and only did a walking tour which means I will have to go back and really experience the city! The walking tour gave me a general overview of Budapest including the history and some fun little facts. One…
A weekend in Paris with my sister
My sister was working in Versailles and some of the surrounding gardens for the last 6 weeks. Our parents decided that since we were both in Europe, we needed to meet up for a weekend of sister time in Paris. My sister has been living the life of luxury in beautiful chateaus, while I have…
My 6 weeks at The Yellow
For 6 weeks I had the opportunity to volunteer at The Yellow Hostel in Rome through goeco.org. I didn’t know what to expect and absolutely had no idea what I was getting myself into! I started following The Yellow on Facebook and Instagram to try to get an idea of what the hostel and the…
