so glad you're here!

I'm a bit of a history geek. If this blog hasn't clued you in yet, now you know. I was the kid who dressed up as Anne Boleyn for halloween (okay, so I technically bought a "Juliet" costume and made some modifications to make it more accurate) and desperately wanted to...

So let me be completely honest with you: if you would have asked me six months ago if Edinburgh was on my radar, I would probably have listed seven other places before Scotland even became a thought. Let me tell you just how wrong I was. This foray through Scotland end...

'Tis the season to be jolly... and also the season for some seriously long flights. I did the math and I will have a 18+ hour travel day coming in just a few short days. I'm so excited to see my family and friends after months away (like, you guys seriously have no ide...

It's been a hard 24 hours. I have been stolen from. I have been lost. I have been exhausted. I have walked my feet off and I have fallen victim to my own unreasonable expectations. I promised myself that I would use this blog as a positive space to share honestly about...

Copenhagen is a geek's dream. If you have an interest, chances are Copenhagen has a museum about it! I was lucky enough to cram a few into my whirlwind weekend and had a blast bopping from one to the next and feasting my eyes and ears on a huge variety of exhibitions....

So it's no secret that one of the best parts of travel is the FOOD! I love a good plate of anything made of potatoes, bread or cheese. But seeing as Copenhagen was so vastly different from Prague, I decided to forego my usual forays into heavy local cuisine and focus o...

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm a notorious coffee snob. It's something I've learned to love about myself and I've nurtured this quirk of mine for several years, developing a picky and decisive palate. There's nothing I hate more than a bad cup of coffee and will go...

Y'all, I love fall. Anyone who knows me will tell you that. Like any 20-something blonde, I love that crunchy leaf, crisp air, apple pie kind of fall. That being said I'm not big on the spooky side of Halloween, but Czechs aren't either, so it's all good. That being sa...

I'm a little late to this party, writing this blog a week after I got home. But it's all good. That doesn't detract how great it was to be in Passau last weekend. This trip took me by surprise in so many ways and I can't wait to share it with you. Aside from it being w...
