Jumping across the pond tends to be easier to do in/out of London. There are so many flights and then all of Europe is open to explore! It seems that every time I travel I meet about 4,000 new people that live in London. I had plans for a few nights but I wanted to…

I went to Rome and only saw one thing…The Yellow
The Yellow is a hostel that I worked at for 6 weeks last year where I met a ton of people. Some people I randomly saw again and others I made a point to meet up with again and then there were those I just never got to know. But there was a specific group of people…
Pretending to be a local in São Paulo
São Paulo can be a very overwhelming place for a backpacker since it is the largest city in South America and the 9th largest city in the world. I met some people when I was volunteering at a hostel in Rome and instantly bonded with them. Lucky for me, they live in São Paulo. I…
England in a day
It seems that I just couldn’t stay away from England during these 7 months of backpacking. I went for a third trip to meet up with a girl I met in Rome that lives in Dallas and was in London for her birthday. One of the best things about traveling is seeing some of the…
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…
My adventures in Croatia (with a quick stop in Bosnia)
After 6 weeks of working in Rome, it was time to move on and become a backpacker again, and it was time to head to Croatia. A friend of mine and I decided that we would start in Split and then head to Dubrovnik. I must admit, we booked this trip without really knowing anything…
The Vatican
Vatican City. The Vatican. The Sistine Chapel. The amount of history and amazing art stored away in this little city is absolutely insane! I went a bit crazy with the pictures, but it has been a while since I was in a museum on this trip and we all know how much I love my art!…
I went to the beach…in Rome
One of the best parts about Rome, is that you can walk around the city and find good food almost anywhere. We went for a little stroll and stumbled upon Taverna Barberini. Any time I see a Trip Advisor symbol on a door, I can usually assume the food will be pretty decent. We ordered…
A quick overnight to Florence
Part of the awesomeness of working in Rome, is the ability to jump on a train for a quick overnight trip to Florence. My coworker and I had a day off together and jumped on the 6:03am train to explore Florence. We went with no expectations and had an absolutely amazing time. We checked into Eurostudent…
The Colosseum, Roman Forum and Trevi Fountain
Just because I am “working” in Rome does not mean that I will miss out on the sites! I got to spend the day with a friend I met in Paris and explore some parts of Rome. We went to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum with a two hour lunch in the middle. Apparently, there was…
