Climbing to Pulpit Rock was an experience I will never forget. My three travel companions woke up early on hike-day, knowing that because it was a holiday weekend, the trail would be crowded later in the day. By 6:30 www were on the road. I think we were all full of so […]
Quick Post: Prague with My Squague
Panthers and Unicorns and Snails, Oh My!
These two are the cutest! Nothing is better or makes me feel more centered than visiting with my family, and luckily for me, my parents have been able to visit every February since I arrived. I was incredibly excited for this visit, in part because they’d be staying with me in the city! During their […]
My Night at the Billionaire’s Club (and other experiences in Sardinia)
I’ve never been one to lay around on a beach. Growing up with summers at Lake Wallkill, going to the beach meant building intense sand neighborhoods and sand factories (yes, factories), swim races, trying to gather the courage to dive off the high diving board, and swimming to the raft where we’d play human bowling before the […]

A Series of Firsts in Cervinia

Even our February break is called, “White Week,” because everyone uses […]
Switching from Mozzarella to Feta
For Spring Break this year, my friends and I spent the week in Oia, Santorini. This is going to be a mostly food based post, so I’m going to get these other highlights out at the beginning: Staying on Amoudi Bay April was still pretty chilly in Santorini, but staying on the bay […]
