Debatably my favorite day in Southern Italy... the world-famous, celebrity vacation destination - Positano!

We spent the day lounging on chairs, sipping on Prosecco, eating pesto paninis, and taking in the beautiful views … Continue reading Adventures in the Amalfi Coast: Positano Edition
Adventures in the Amalfi Coast – Capri Edition
Without a doubt, this was one of the best trips I experienced. It was my first time using a travel company - Bus2Alps - and the trip weekend went above and beyond my expectations!

Amsterdam
Welcome to my last "study abroad" trip of the semester! I ventured off to many more cities and countries after Amsterdam, but this trip is dear to my heart because it was the last trip a close friend and I were able to take before final exams and farewells. Some of you may know that Amsterdam was … Continue reading Amsterdam
Keukenhof
Two months later, and I am finally able to sit down and go through pictures from my trip to Amsterdam in April.
