I ended up choosing Grenoble, France for my experience. Best decision ever. [Note: This is Part 2, make sure to check … Continue reading Grenoble: My Study Abroad Experience (Part 2 – The Fun)

Amsterdam is a place of interest for nearly everyone my age. Why? Well I know it can be a magically colorful place (sadly not so much in the winter). Or maybe, it's because things that are frowned upon in most societies are legal there (rebellious freedom). Or maybe, for people like me, you want to … Continue reading Amsterdam: Risky Business?

In February, I had classes when most people had a break, but I figured I could do a quick three day trip somewhere.

This was my first solo travel experience. As short as it was (only 36 hours/one night) it was a trip that I felt was necessary for self-growth. I was meeting my friend Andrea in Amsterdam the next day, so I chose to visit Brussels on the way. It was a beautiful city, one that I hold … Continue reading First Solo Trip: Brussels
