I am a planner. Not just a planner, but a CRAZY planner. I never go to the grocery store without a list, and I had my new apartment lined up three months before I needed to move in. So when it comes to traveling, I create super detailed itineraries, and thankfully, my best friend and […]

I’ve found the prettiest cobblestone street in Aarhus and maybe even in Denmark! 🙂 When I was exploring downtown Aarhus, I happened to stumble upon Møllestien, a cobblestone street with colorful houses dating from the 18th century. I didn’t see a single person there, so it isn’t a big tourist area, which is perfect for this […]

If you’ve been keeping up with my adventures, you’ll know that I just spent a month living in Aarhus, Denmark! I was there to take a class on the Viking Age, and while I’ve lived in Copenhagen for a few months, this was my first time in Jutland. Aarhus is the largest city in Jutland […]

Christiansborg Palace (or Christiansborg Slot) is one of favorite buildings in Copenhagen! It’s definitely worth visiting if you get the chance. You can see the Royal Reception Rooms filled with glittering chandeliers and my all time favorite library (it has gold balconies, just to give you an idea), plus, you can get the best views […]

Copenhagen is my favorite city in the world, and it holds a special place in my heart because it’s where I studied abroad for a semester (complete with sailing a Viking ship) and it’s where I met my boyfriend of five and a half years! 🙂 We went back recently to celebrate his graduation from […]

I traveled around Italy for 10 days, and it was an amazing trip! We started in Venice and made our way down to the Amalfi Coast with lots of stops in between. There’s so much to see in Italy, and I feel like I just scratched the surface. I had amazing experiences and some not […]

If you’re visiting Philadelphia, you definitely need to go to historical places like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, but there’s more than just the main tourist sights! The city has some pretty awesome festivals (including Cheesesteakfest!), and one of the most unique ones is the annual Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival! 🙂 I’ve failed at […]

Airbnb is THE website to find a place to stay when you travel today. But is it actually the best way to find lodging? I’ve stayed in tons of different Airbnbs, from a tiny cabin in upstate New York to an apartment in the heart of Florence, but staying in an Airbnb isn’t always the […]

I’ve had a few posts on seeing dolphins in Florida at the beaches in Bonita Springs (and you can see manatee!) and I did a boat ride from Marco Island before, but I’ve never seen so many dolphins as I did on a boat ride in Bonita Springs! It was such an awesome experience, and […]

Five years ago, my roundtrip flight to Denmark in the middle of winter cost over $1,000. Just a few weeks ago, I bought a roundtrip ticket to Denmark for only $400, AND it’s during tourist season! I’m a huge fan of shopping as cheaply as possible (I regularly buy clothes from Walmart), and since flights […]

After visiting New Orleans, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and a quick visit to North Carolina, my last stop on my adventure was Charleston for a girl’s weekend! I have been to Charleston a few times before, and it’s definitely one of my favorite cities in the U.S. It’s so pretty and colorful! One of my favorite […]
