Apologies in advance…I just realized now that it has actually been an entire month since my last post. Time is literally flying by. 23.5 hours of which were spent flying from Ireland to London, to Chicago, to Green Bay. Cool news is, I’m alive and well and back in the states. Not-so-cool news is I … Continue reading

I have a tablet in my pocket and a purse hiding out under my butt.
Every time I boarded a flight during our month backpacking (which was 7 times), I felt like I had just pulled off one of the world’s most BA stunts. Airport security is somewhat of a hassle when you’re flying regular airlines, so take those hoops you have to jump through and multiple them by 27. … Continue reading
Paris, France!
Better late than never. Day 17: Arriving in Paris! We headed out of Budapest and touched down in Paris Beauvais Airport. The Airport is about an hour from the city center, so we hopped on a shuttle and made our way to the city. By the time we got to our hostel it was late … Continue reading
A Video! Exploring Europe. Month Four.
This video of my backpacking trip around Europe was a labor of love. 1. The fact that I didn’t think about not being able to download my pictures and videos during my month abroad was the first little hiccup. I only had a 2 GB and an 8 GB memory card for both my pictures … Continue reading
Budapest!

It was called Hi5 Hostel and the staff there were just the best. They were all our age, from Australia, ridiculously welcoming, and the … Continue reading

Florence, Italy!
Day 7: Sunday, April 14th was day 7. The original plan for the day was to take a train to Pisa so we could fly to Greece the following day. But we had to add a little detour to Florence when we found out that our friends (from St. Norbert, who are studying in Florence) … Continue reading
Roma!
Day 4: On day four, we said our goodbyes to Meghan and began our journey to Rome. The journey consisted of a train, shuttle bus, airplane, second shuttle bus, and the metro in Rome. Not nearly as expensive, exhausting, or long as it sounds. We made it through another Ryanair experience…2 down, 5 to go. … Continue reading
Southern France!
It’s definitely a challenge typing on a miniature keyboard, but I feel the need for a brief update. I’ll expand at a later date once I am in the presence of a full-fledged keyboard that accommodates human-size hands. Day 1: Monday, April 8th A day of naps, traveling, and of course exploring. Got in a … Continue reading
