I think “Vienna” by Billy Joel is my new favorite song. I spent this past weekend in Vienna, Austria with four of my Copenhagen roommates, and three other girls from DIS. We all stayed in a massive airbnb together, and it was probably one of my favorite weekend trips I’ve had thus far. Day 1:Continue reading “Vienna Waited for Us”

Never in my life did I think I would find myself in a traditional German Dirndl, surrounded by thousands of Germans, drinking pitchers beer for an entire day. That is exactly what ended up happening though, when I traveled to Munich, Germany for the first weekend of Springfest 2022. I have some German ancestry fromContinue reading “Springfestivities”

This trip was two years in the making. I had originally planned on visiting one of my childhood best friends, Neely, while she was studying with NYU Paris during Freshman year spring break, but unfortunately the pandemic got in my way. Luckily for me, Neely’s program allowed her to go back abroad for her juniorContinue reading “Parisian Spring Break”

Prague is a city straight out of a Disney theme park. Everything from the buildings, to the streets, to the people was exactly what’d you’d picture when you think of old Europe and I loved it. I went on the trip with my friend from school, Naomi, and her two roommates in Copenhagen, Alina andContinue reading “Czeching Out Prague”

When I signed up for the New Media and Changing Communities core class, I knew the class trip to Dublin would be something to look forward to. Since my professor grew up in Ireland, we had the perfect tour guide for a week of both acedemic and cultural activities. The trip started off with anContinue reading “Field Trip to Dublin (+ London)”

Unlike lots of people who end up hating their Freshman year college roommate, I took mine abroad with me. Naomi and I had planned for years to study abroad together, so coming to Copenhagen was a joint decision. This past weekend, we left Denmark and took a quick trip to Budapest, Hungary. Friday: The tripContinue reading “Budapest and Best Friend”

One of my favorite perks of being abroad with DIS is definitely the 9 day vacation they give you in the middle of the semester. While other classes went on their long study tours, I had the week off to travel anywhere and everywhere. Out of all the countries, I chose to go to ItalyContinue reading “All Over Italy (& Barcelona)”

I think I’m really starting to appreciate the beauty of the phrase “backpacking around Europe”. Friday night, I packed a small bag and went to Brussels, Belgium for two nights with my friend Kenzie. I will admit the budget flight we took was a little bumpy, but we made it to Belgium Friday night andContinue reading “Quick Trip to Brussels”

I’ve always been a fan of school field trips, and I can confidently say Sweden has been the best one yet. We started the trip by loading onto a Mercedes bus in Copenhagen with our driver, Clark. After a quick 45 minute drive over the bridge, we were in Malmö, Sweden. Day 1: Our firstContinue reading “Studying in Sweden”
