Another quick post! For St. Patrick’s Day, my friends and I rented an apartment in Dublin! Another item checked off The List, and an amazing experience. I love Dublin! Somehow, I hardly took any pictures, so I’m including one of my videos, and a few pictures that my friends took. SaveSave
Where We Lay Our Scene
As I see more of my beautiful Italy, I can’t help loving it more and more. I still have nearly two years left on my contract, and I’m already starting to worry about how I’ll ever be able to leave. But enough of that, on to adventures! Last spring, a few friends and I found […]
Exploring the World Marco Polo Style
The second stop on our summer adventure was Venice, a city I’ve been dying to see for a while now. It’s a short train ride from Milan (though we traveled from Rome), and while it’s incredible enough to spend a month visiting, it’s also the perfect destination for a weekend getaway. Holly and I fell […]
I Met Joe Jonas
I, Jesye Streisel, now a fangirl, met Joe Jonas at Men’s Fashion Week in Milan, June 2014. My life is complete 🙂 I almost took it off the list. I almost gave up and decided it was too far-fetched! I almost changed “See a celebrity at fashion week” to just “See a celebrity.” But I […]

Taking Candy from Strangers
Rainy day in the park Another item checked off The List, and my first “Get on the Next Train Leaving the Station” trip under my belt. At first, my trip to Torino (Turin? I don’t know which is right) seemed a little like a bust. Leaving the train station may as well have been just jumping […]
“Field Trip” to Switzerland
Most adorable little old couple that I saw walking around all week Saint Oyen- Mom and Dad, this is your future town! When I was in elementary school, field trips were to the museum or planetarium. On one particularly exciting Girl Scout outing, we slept at the zoo. At my new school, 4th grade […]
The Duomo and My Tupperware of Wine
Buonasera famiglia! What a week. This has seriously been such an exhausting couple of days, but so wonderful and what I’ve been wanting for my life for as long as I can remember. I can’t even decide if I’m happier about being in Europe or being a teacher! Quadrilatero d’Oro: Plaza of Gold The plane […]
