The Myth of 'Cheap' European Travel

When I informed friends and family that I would be doing my masters degree in Europe for the next 2 years, the comment I heard the most was that I'll be doing a lot of travelling and I thought, naively, that I would probably be going to a different country every other weekend.

Unfortunately, it…

My First Ever Trip to Ohio

Last month I had the opportunity to go to Ohio for the first time to visit an internet friend that I made in 2020.

My April Playlist + Polaroids from France

As April approaches, I thought it would be a fun idea to post what songs I've been listening to recently and create a short and sweet playlist for the month. Being stuck at home all day, music really helps pass the time and keep me in a good mood. 
I recently moved into a new place (of which I…
