Working while traveling makes for a completely different travel experience. For the next 6 weeks, I will be volunteering at The Yellow for 35 hours a week. In return, I receive breakfast, lunch, dinner, a bed and laundry. I found this all through Go Eco which has some amazing opportunities. I haven’t done much exploring around…

A Roman holiday
When in Rome do as the Romans do. This means go to dinner at 10:00pm and go to sleep around 2:00am. This part of my trip is also a bit different as I am volunteering at a hostel in exchange for breakfast, lunch, dinner, room and laundry for 6 weeks. I have taken the last…
My day in Beauvais
My ticket to Rome was booked on Ryanair out of Beauvais. This is about 1.5 hours outside of Paris and I didn’t want to deal with getting to the airport in the morning. So, I booked a room on Airbnb and took myself on a little date in Beauvais. Sadly, this meant I had to…
Versailles
In 2001 my parents took me to Versailles and I recall enjoying the gardens and thinking the palace was absolutely massive. 13 years later, I returned and had a new perspective and new appreciation of what the place was actually about. I found that I was able to appreciate the art and the history quite…
Paris by day and Paris by night
A few days in Paris and I feel like I have been here forever! I met up with a friend from home who was in town and had some delicious foie gras and rose and a wonderful day exploring the area. As we were walking back, we stumbled upon Notre Dame and the Madeleine. I…
Everyone almost gets arrested in a foreign country…right?
I can only describe my day with a little play by play recap: – Get up and go to breakfast to meet my new travel friend Jenn to decide what museum to go to – Met some people from Tennessee who want to go to a castle about 30 minutes out of town by train…
The Devine Comedy in Frankfurt
Finally the museums were open and I got to spend my day as I pleased. I chose to go the MMK Museum for the The Divine Comedy exhibition and was not disappointed by anything that I saw. This piece is by Bili Bidjocka and called Graces & Intentions & Graces. You can see pencils hanging from the painting…
Sushi in Germany?
Just because I am in a certain country, does not mean I have to eat the local food the entire time. Today I had a craving for sushi and found a great place with bottomless sushi! It was absolutely delicious and made me very happy. I haven’t totally strayed away from the German way. I…
Getting my feel for Frankfurt
I spent my first two days in Frankfurt walking around in the rain and taking in the sites and then going out with new hostel friends at night. I explored the city for about 6 hours with a traveler from Australia, and we literally would see a building we liked and head for it. We…
A traveling we will go
I am usually quite the planner. I like to know where I’m going and how I am getting there and what I am doing when I get there. This trip has made me throw that all right out the window! Now, I really just go with the flow. For the past few days I have…
