  • TravelerEurope….. AGAIN!
    Day 40

    Copenhagen

    July 26, 2024 in Denmark ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Copenhagen was short and sweet.

    What happened in Berlin is basicallyyyyy I took the u-bahn north instead of south and I was already on a time crunch- and it was at a point of no return where even if I got a train or uber back, I would still miss it. Total crisis. But luckily since I was staying with a friend, everything was all good. I booked a new bus ticket for 3 days later (the ones in the coming days were way too $$$).

    And so, I got to Copenhagen late on the 25th, with a flight out on the 26th, so I only had the morning of the 26th to explore.

    My impression is CUTE! But expensive. It’s very cutesy and quaint and I liked the colourful houses. Very peaceful and I could totally see myself enjoying my time here. I only had a short 3 hour wander but wouldn’t be upset if I found myself here again! Sorry my pics aren’t very cute!    Read more

    Day 31–39

    Berlin

    July 17, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    I’d been to Berlin before, but I liked going this time a million times more. I stayed with a friend who I’d met at dance camp a few weeks prior, and it helped having someone who lived there. She gave me a lot of good spots, and it was so nice spending time with her! Since I’d come before, I think that I felt less pressure to do “touristy” things, and I just behaved as though I was living and hanging out there.

    Also, I was doing a dance workshop for 6 of the evenings that I was here, so it was fun to have a purpose as well!

    I spent a LOT of time at flea markets and second hand shops, and went out dancing with my friends too!

    I did do an oopsie and missed my bus to Copenhagen though- i’ll divulge in the next post- so I’d spent an extra 3 days here- bless my friend for letting me stay longer with her!    Read more

    Day 28–31

    Zadar

    July 14, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    One thing that I will always remember about Zadar are the absolutely stunning sunsets. Our hostel was a 10 minute walk from a beach, and me and some friends would watch the sun go down and it was so serene. I will say that Croatia was HOT! But again, it’s was so easy to swim anywhere! Another unique thing to Zadar is the sea organ, which is kind of what it sounds like- makes noises from the water entering some holes or something. Another one of my favourite memories here is lying by to the sea organ at night, and gazing at the stars so clearly in the sky. I saw 3 shooting stars that night.

    So all in all, Zadar was all swim and sunsets and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!    Read more

    Day 25–28

    Pula

    July 11, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    This is my first time in Croatia and it definitely won’t be my last! The minute I got here I was so in love! And so grateful to finally get to swim!!! I think I went in the water each day I got here, it was lovely! Our hostel was right by a beach so that made it easy as well. Day swims, sunset swims, you name it. We rented a boat on our second day here and it was one of my favourite days yet! We’d drive around the area, stop when we see something we like and then swim to the shore! On our last day we visited the actual town of Pula which- I actually didn’t like as much as the village of Pješčana Uvala that we were staying in. In the town, we saw an outdoor film, went to the castle, and went to a fun bar with some hostel friends!Read more

    Day 24

    Venice

    July 10, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    I really, really liked Venice! Although it is undoubtedly touristy, it was just so unique, and had a lot of different things to offer. Firstly, I didn’t realize that it was an island, which is cool. Secondly, it was a huge maze! It was hot out, but the endless buildings shaded us well 😎 I could probably wander around here forever- it was so cute! The duomo was also very beautiful! We didn’t do a gondola ride, which I do regret, but it’s alright!Read more

    Day 22–25

    Trieste

    July 8, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Back on the road! And back with friends! I met up with Ailish and Isabella for this week of the trip and it was so nice to see some familiar faces! Trieste is a port city, but doesn’t really have any beach super close by. On my first day before the girls arrived I befriended a British family and we went to see the castle and ate lunch together. During my time in Trieste we also went to see a palace, watched the sunset, and even went on a day trip to Venice! (Detailed in the next post!) Goodbye Italy! 🇮🇹Read more

    Day 14–21

    Orsolina28

    June 30, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    I wish I could add more photos because the landscape was stunning. This may have been one of the best dance experiences that I’ve ever had. Between the beautiful studios, stunning pools, saunas, buffet meals, lovely botany, it was truly a paradise. That, and getting to meet and dance with 65 other dancers from different places in the world is such a unique experience. Even more, what I’ve learned- yes- the moves, but also beyond that, is priceless. I’m so excited to take what I’ve learned from this retreat, and bring it back home to my regular training. We would have warm up class, and learn repertoire and ended with doing a performance on the last day. Also I was given the only solo out of all 65 people in the intensive…. which is a crazy accomplishment that I won’t take lightly!! 11/10 experience EASY!!!Read more

    Day 12–14

    Turin

    June 28, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    Turin! A cute little city. I was only here for a short time before I left to my dance intensive, but it was a nice, calm place to be. Here was home to the biggest market that I’ve ever seen in my life, big clover fields (where I found a 4 leaf clover!), lots of nice parks, and antique book stands. I read lots, relaxed lots, and made myself some awful homemade pasta for every meal!Read more

    Day 12

    Bologna

    June 28, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Bologna was honestly full of surprises! But I’m glad that I just had a short stop over here. The first thing that stood out to me were all of the arches that you walk under (kind of like in the last pic), each street was lined with these (so when it was raining, or way too sunny, you can walk in peace!), it was beautiful! I had some bolognese in bologna, tortellini, and of course, gelato. I saw some churches, spent some time in the library, and even saw a film in the outdoor cinema!Read more

    Day 9

    Siena

    June 25, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    From Certaldo, I did a day trip over to Siena, which was a quaint little city just 2 train stops over. I went with two girls who I’d met the night before- Edana and Scarlet. Siena was home to the most beautiful duomo that I’d ever seen in my life! The amount of detail was stunning. We went to a lookout point, a few piazza’s, and into the museum by the duomo. Tried some stuffed pizza, and that’s when the torrential downpour started and it rained so hard for a while! Doesn’t ruin the day though, it was still great!Read more
