I keep getting asked to do a Broke Student’s Guide on New York, but the truth is, I was there years ago and don’t remember much by the way of specifics and finances. Still, I did go back to flip through my pictures and got to reminiscing a bit. I did New York solo forContinue reading #1927 | New York: A Love Letter
Cinque Terre, Italy.Finally – my last post on Cinque Terre, the third and final one wrapping up the hot and colourful tourist trap that had us so besotted. Take a minute to read part one and two if you haven’t, but otherwise, here we go: Vernazza and Monterosso, Cinque Terre! First up, Vernazza. Vernazza isContinue reading #1919 | Wanderlust: Cinque Terre – Vernazza and Monterosso
Hey guys, Hello from Laos – in between filming for a new exciting campaign and prepping a new Broke Student’s Guide to go up this weekend, I made up for my hiatus on the literary blog by releasing a new piece of fiction over there last night: I know something has changed the minute IContinue reading #1915| A short literary one.
Barcelona, Spain.Of course I’m blogging during prime cramming season. We humans are creatures of immolation. In between breaths of Renaissance literature I find myself dreaming of an afternoon at the Barceloneta. It’s funny – I’ve never thought of myself as a beach kinda girl. First things first (I’m a realist) I hate sand. That aloneContinue reading #1890 | An afternoon at the Barceloneta
Amsterdam, Holland.Amsterdam was a flash decision, one of those things you’re convinced is a really good idea after a bottle and a half of wine two nights before actually renting a car and hopping cross border. So much so that the night before we drove down I was still flipping through accommodation options online.. butContinue reading #1866| Photo Diary: Amsterdayummn!
Paris, FranceI had such a dreamy time in Paris this time round. Having covered most bases in Paris this February, we thought three days was more than enough for the city of lights and love.. and we thought wrong. I’ve never wanted to not leave a city as much as I did Paris, and IContinue reading #1860| Dreaming in Paris
Stuttgart, GermanyIt’s so easy to claim you’ve been bitten by the wanderlust bug but there’s a very compelling part of me that is also undeniably a creature of comfort, someone who wants to close the tabs on all the fare compare sites and my google calendar and hide under my comforter where I don’t haveContinue reading #1853| It’s a small world after all
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on ask.fm on what exactly it is I’m doing now and how it is I’m traveling so much, so I thought I’d just compile them into an info post for those of you who’ve been asking 🙂 I’ll also include information on applying for this exchange program andContinue reading #1851| Around the world in 212 days
Lucerne, SwitzerlandAm I the only person who hasn’t heard of Lucerne before this? Somehow, it doesn’t seem possible – yet Lucerne was everything I was looking for in a Swiss city: scenic, architecturally pretty, and heartbreakingly expensive. If my only complaint about Zurich was that it just wasn’t very Alp-sy, that solved itself in LucerneContinue reading #1849 | Wanderlust: Lucerne
Photos taken with the Canon 500D on 50f1.8 lens and the iPhone 5s You haven’t experienced Germany till you’ve attended one of its beer festivals. You just haven’t. Cousin to the relatively more famous Oktoberfest, the Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest is conceptually the same thing – carnival, music, beer – but with less sweaty bodies and queues.Continue reading #1847| It’s not Germany without a beer festival // Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest 2014
