April 2017 Croatia & Bosnia I’m skipping a few destinations of late 2016 & early 2017 to write about Croatia, because I strongly feel as though it should be added to anyone & everyone’s travel list (And if you’re anything like me-apologies for the extra paperwork). My Adriatic adventure lasted only 4 days- with a… Read More Crazy for Croatia
October 2016 Prague is my favorite Eastern European city. It’s what I imagine the 1920’s were like to some small degree- a simpler time where Jazz clubs are as popular as ever and, smoking inside is as commonplace as cobbled streets (which are very common…like my use of alliteration…). My first trip to Prague was… Read More Czech me into Prague
Cologne, Germany. August 2016 In the final and perhaps warmest week of August, I traveled to Bad Honnef and swiftly onto Cologne with two colleagues for a weekend of city sightseeing and a local rock music festival, Rheinspaziert. It was my first time going beyond the Bavarian boarder- and I was not disappointed with what… Read More Kölsch in Köln
August 2016 We set off at around 3pm leaving immediately from work for Munich airport, and returning to Germany in the wee hours of Monday morning (where we made it into work for 9am…). Arriving at Ferihegy airport around 6pm after the shortest Lufthansa flight of my life (45 minutes, and I didn’t even… Read More My Airbnb in Budapest
Between July and August of 2016, I became an avid hiker. I describe myself as ‘avid’ because these adventures entailed waking up at the crack of dawn, to drive an hour or more to the Alps, to then hike up a mountain for 4-9 hours; safe to say I, or rather we, were eager.… Read More The 3 types of Hiking in Bavaria and Tyrol
June 2016 Driving to Kitzbühel with my Dad, Mom, and Brother was the first family trip we’ve had since before I moved away to the UK in 2014. It started off as all our trips do; with my Brother making inopportune food requests, my Mom experiencing some kind of panic (my Dad’s driving on the… Read More Kitzbühel, Austria
June 2016 I moved to a town outside of Munich called Freising in the summer of 2016, for a marketing internship at Texas Instruments. It’s difficult to write about how amazing Germany was in the summertime now that it’s the dead of winter, and there is a seemingly ever-present frost hanging in the air,… Read More Freising, Germany
June 2016 As traditions go, in June 2016 I returned to Portugal with Andy and Fon’s girlfriend, Steph, for another birthday celebration. I was the last to arrive, and was picked up from the airport by my newly licensed friend, where we then proceeded to drive to his family country villa in Azambuja for a… Read More Azambuja & Lisbon, Portugal
March 2016 York was a spur-of-the-moment trip with one of my best friends Charlotte Robertson. Let’s just say it was a much needed girl’s trip. This wasn’t a heavily planned, big sight-seeing trip; and sometimes those can be the best. We set off on a beautiful day, getting the train to Newark first (without realizing… Read More York, UK
March 2016 My first trip to Munich was paid for by Texas Instruments (the company I now work for, in Germany). I applied to TI the previous month for a yearlong marketing internship, and after a subsequent Skype interview, they invited me over to meet me in person (and, unbeknownst to me at the time,… Read More Munich, Germany
