Cologne
16 czerwca 2015, Niemcy ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
In Cologne, it seems, there is not so much to do outside of visiting the towering cathedral and walking along the Rhine river. It's also disappointingly chilly for mid-June...so now that my jetlag is Czytaj więcej
Madrid
18 czerwca 2015, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Today I woke up to the unimaginable news of a racially-motivated terrorist shooting in my country. My sadness at the continuous violence in America and the incompetence of the media to present news Czytaj więcej

Lisboa pt. 2
23 czerwca 2015, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
The tram that inspired the Knight Bus in Harry Potter, the best pasteis de nata, and beautiful tiled streetscapes throughout the city 💕
All reasons to love this beautiful city. I'm already Czytaj więcej
Lagos
24 czerwca 2015, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Sun and sand - the kind that's big enough that it doesn't get everywhere and doesn't make the water murky. Hot but with a nice sea breeze. White-washed buildings with red roofs, showing off their Czytaj więcej
London Pride
27 czerwca 2015, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
The SCOTUS decided that love wins over inequality, and I am feeling proud of my country...a feeling that has truly been escaping me lately. In a celebratory mood I joined the crowd at the London Pride Czytaj więcej
Harry Potter Studio Tour
29 czerwca 2015, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
The Harry Potter Studio Tour was one of the highlights of my time in London!
Brighton
29 czerwca 2015, Anglia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Only an hour train ride from London, Brighton is a cute beach town with a rocky beach (not good for walking barefoot, but the rocks make the coolest noise as the waves go in and out...), relaxed Czytaj więcej

Amsterdam
4 lipca 2015, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Bikes, everywhere. Crazy tourists there for the red light district and coffee shops. Amsterdam has a very relaxed atmosphere (certainly helped by the readily available weed...)
And I couldn't leave Czytaj więcej
Amsterdam, pt. 2

Paris
8 lipca 2015, Francja ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
City of Lights...hmm. I liked Paris but not for the reasons I had expected. It's a little grungy (which I like), not as expensive as I'd thought, and certainly beautiful in parts but not any more than Czytaj więcej
Budapest
12 lipca 2015, Węgry ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Both of our favorite city of the trip. (My runner-up: Lisbon.) Budapest is gorgeous, inexpensive, and unique. No place I've been to has suffered so greatly, again and again throughout history, only to Czytaj więcej

18h in Bratislava
16 lipca 2015, Słowacja ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Our mostly unplanned evening in Slovakia...in which we climbed to the top of the city, ate too much food, and discovered medieval walls.
Interestingly, the monument is for the Soviet soldiers who Czytaj więcej
Vienna
18 lipca 2015, Austria ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
We enjoyed lots of classical music, Gothic and Baroque architecture, and extreme heat (ha!) in Vienna. However, the city didn't quite have Budapest's charm as it was very touristy and rather Czytaj więcej
Prague

The beautiful old city and Charles Bridge
Prague pt. 2

Berlin
24 lipca 2015, Niemcy ⋅ 🌬 15 °C
I visited Berlin once again on our way back to western Germany. It was nice and we did a few cool things and learned a bit. My touristy pictures are from the Reichstag dome, Neue Synagogue, Berlin Czytaj więcej
Düsseldorf
26 lipca 2015, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
After six weeks my huge figure-8 through Europe came to an end in rainy, modern Düsseldorf. I suppose this was alright as it meant I was (slightly) less sad to leave...
Until next time.
