However, the city that surprised me the most, and turned out to be one of my favorites was Edinburgh, Scotland. Before arriving, I already imagined that Scotland wouldn’t have as much to offer me as the other countries did.…

So before I came on this trip, my main goals were to live out my European Dream by riding though Toulouse on a bike and by taking a train ride to some other city on my own. This past weekend I got to do just that and it was completely satisfying! On Saturday I finally got…

As I sit here at the Dublin Airport preparing for the flight home, I am in awe of what I have seen these last few weeks. From the Statue of David to the Eiffel Tower to Villa de Este to so many more experiences that I cannot even explain, I have seen so much and…

It’s 1 am and I have 17 hours until I leave for France! Well… 17 hours until I leave to London because that is where my first stop is, but that’s besides the point. I have 17 hours until I have officially begin my journey into a foreign country, and I am a combination of…

Bonjour! I am currently sitting at my laptop browsing through websites in a frantic attempt to learn French, trying to think of anything I may have forgotten to pack and intently watching An American in Paris (one of my favorite movies) for the 10th time today trying to observe everything I can about French culture-…

As I sit here packing, last minute packing might I add, my mind is running 100mph. I am trying to think of absolutely everything that I might possibly need for the The Grand Tour: Art and Gardens of Europe trip that starts TOMORROW! Along with a billion other things that cross your mind when you are…
