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…
Things I have learned while traveling
Traveling has taught me a few things. This blog will be ever changing as my travels continue. 1) More Americans need to travel 2) Anyone who had a relationship when they started traveling probably doesn’t have one now 3) Girls are horrendous humans to be in a dorm with in terms of cleanliness 4) Sleep whenever…
I would walk 500 miles (or 2 Kilometers)
Today was the day to explore the city walls of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is listed as one of the top 10 walled cities to visit in the world. It was 100 Kuna ($17.90 USD) and a 2 kilometer walk with 1,080 stairs on a very hot day. The views of the old town and the surrounding…
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…
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…
Catacombs and crypts and creepiness oh my!
Finally I had a day off and decided to adventure to the catacombs of St. Callixtus. Try to imagine that this place contained the tombs of popes from the 2nd to 4th centuries. The place was a bit creepy and absolutely awesome. I planned to see a band called Red Rooster and ended up…
