In my interview for my study abroad program, my professor asked me what I already knew about Greece. Instantly, my mind went blank - forget about the Greek mythology, history, and the Acropolis - all I could think about was "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and gyros. Thankfully, my professor didn't scoff at my responses … Continue reading Greek Eats
In all of the chaos in finishing out my final semester of classes (!!!) before my internship in the fall, I've failed at keeping my blog updated.

For my spring break this year, I decided that I wanted to go on a little weekend getaway.

L's sister (let's nickname her P) recently started working as a librarian at a collége in Obernai, so we used the vacances de Noel as a … Continue reading Destination: Obernai, Strasbourg, and Colmar, France
Hello and happy 2019, everybody!!

For the last week that L was in the States, we spent two and a half days in both Chicago and Milwaukee and had all sorts of fun doing it! We spent so much time hanging out and doing things around my house, that it was nice to get out an explore both of these … Continue reading Destinations: Chicago and Milwaukee
If you read my July Recap post, you'd know that L came to visit me for 3 glorious weeks and we had the best time together!

Therefore, please enjoy this photo montage of all our … Continue reading The One Where He Comes to the States for the First Time
