I’ve been dying to visit Český Krumlov for years. Ever since reading, “The Bloodletter’s Daugther,” by Linda Lafferty, Český Krumlov has been one of those towns I NEEDED to see, but just didn’t seem to fit into my plans. The book tells the tragic story of Emperor Rudolf II’s illegitimate son, Don Julius. As he […]
Český Krumlov: More than a Day Trip
Cinque Terre with Mom
Last fall, I got to spend a wonderful long weekend exploring Cinque Terre with one of my favorite travel buddies in the world: my mom! Though the Ligurian Coast is only a few hours train ride from Milan, this was only my second time visiting. Our base for the long weekend was in Monterosso al Mare, […]

Eat ALL The Pierogies
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: holidays are the absolute worst part of living abroad. Especially holidays that are so full of family tradition. For me, that’s Thanksgiving. It is so hard being away from the people I love most and traditions I adore. My friends and I started our own little […]
Living That Shepherd Life
Sometime in the last few years, I got weirdly obsessed with sheep. Specifically, Valais Blacknose Sheep. Let me just tell you, they’re adorable. We had a few cute sheep decorations around the house growing up, and I guess I didn’t realize that real life sheep were just as precious! I knew they lived in Switzerland, […]
Kotor’s Charm
When planning my trip this summer, I had a list of places I wanted to see and was absolutely not willing to reconsider. I’d done my research (well… as much as I ever do), talked to friends who’d traveled the Balkan countries before, and mapped out a slightly complicated route that had me doubling back to […]
Baroque Beauty at the Borromean Islands
Possibly thanks to George Clooney, or possibly because of its incredible beauty, Lake Como has been on Italy’s travel radar for years. When I find articles about “Things To Do in Milan,” going to Lake Como always seems to be listed, which is funny since it isn’t even in Milan. Though Como is stunning, Northern […]
Principles of Happiness
I’ll be honest: The only reason I went out my first night in Montenegro was because my Airbnb didn’t have toilet paper. I figured a quick walk around town, a trip to the local grocery store, and I’d call it a night. But the shop didn’t close until 11pm (it was only 8:30 or so), […]
