“Sopping Wet and Rancid, this one”

WARNING: UGLY TRUTHS AND DEPRESSING EVENTS BELOW I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to see the world - however, without sounding like the biggest entitled little brat that ever was - I want to talk about the ugly side of traveling for a minute. This is a bit of a rant, so bear...

Guess Who’s Back… Back Again…

June 15th, 2017 Can I get a "HOLY SHIT!?!"? It has been 4 - YES, FOUR - years since my last European solo trip, people.  And you know what is a wonderful thing? Password resets.  You know why?  Because I would probably have given up on this whole "travel blogging" thing (that I started FOUR...

Ebersberg: Name Droppin’

Written on October 12, 2013 This song is so ridiculously necessary. And badass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHVBzLGAIbU Over the past weeks I have spent in Europe, I have fallen in love with Germany. Something about the countryside, the architecture, the cities, the language and the people have had me feeling extremely comfortable. A way to describe it is...

Munich: Rainy Day Women #7

October 4, 2013 Not quite sure why I named this post the way I did, but it feels right. I suppose I can justify it because I was definitely a wet lady, in this rainy city for a number of days, and my favorite number is 7... and Bob Dylan never wrote a song called...

Nuremburg: The Rally Grounds

Let me start this post with a little fact about myself. Part of the reason why I chose this section of the world to travel to for my first trip, was because I am fascinated with WWII and the rule of the Nazi Party. When Joey suggested we stop in Nuremburg for a few days...

Mainz, Mainz Baby

September 18th, 2013 I am lagging SO hard on these posts, I have 3 cities I still need to write about and I have just arrived to Salzburg, the 4th city. SHEESH. Don't worry, this post is only about one, I will torture you with the rest soon enough. Mainz was never a city I...

Cologne: The Land of Church and Money

September 6, 2013 Alright, where my religious and/or architecturally-involved peeps at?!? Raise your hands up to whatever God is yours and pray to visit Cologne, because there are a ridiculous amount of churches in this city. I am almost sure there must be one church per 10 people who live here (obviously, I am exaggerating...

Amsterdam, Party time! Excellent!

September 4, 2013 Amsterdam. How do I explain my time in Amsterdam? Well, I guess I will start out with a disclaimer to avoid offending anyone: **There will be talk of the following: Marijuana, Mushrooms, Acid, Hookers, Prostitutes, the Red Light district, and many other things that may be considered "crude"** Now that does not...

Copenhagen the Great

August 29th, 2013 I have realized I now have a habit of only writing about my adventures once I have gotten to my next destination. So, here I am in Amsterdam, at the bar at the Flying Pig hostel, and I will now reflect on my last few days spent in Copenhagen. My first night...
