Eat ALL The Pierogies

December 1, 2018 / Europe, holiday, Picture Post, Poland

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 […]

Easter in Florence: The Explosion of the Cart

Glögg and Other Estonian Things I Ate

December 17, 2016 / Estonia, holiday, travel

  For Thanksgiving, my friends and I took a trip to Tallinn, Estonia. Estonia was never on my radar until last spring as I tried to procrastinate plan my last minute very spontaneous spring break adventure (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). Tickets to Tallinn, Estonia were the cheapest on Skyscanner, and I considered heading to Eastern […]

Magic, Monarchs, and Malt: Thanksgiving in Scotland

December 6, 2015 / holiday, Scotland, tour, travel, United Kingdom

For me, the hardest day to live abroad is Thanksgiving. Knowing my family is together, celebrating a holiday that for us has always been about togetherness, and not being there is heart wrenching. This year I even looked into plane tickets to make the trek back to Rochester for the four-day weekend, but by the time […]

Halloween in Munich

December 14, 2014 / beer, food, Germany, holiday, road trip

From home in Rochester, a five-hour drive will bring me to my beloved Lake Wallkill, New Jersey. A five-hour drive from Milan can end up in Munich. It blows my mind that road-tripping to Germany for the weekend is a possibility, but it is! Four friends and I packed ourselves into a tiny rental car […]
