Amsterdam (Jan. 4-5 / Jan. 8-9)

January 8, 2017April 20, 20182 Comments

Jan. 4-5: After picking up some French chocolate croissants at a cute little bakery for the road, I took the bus from Paris to Amsterdam, which took about 6 hours with a stop in Antwerp.

Jan. 6: My day in Brussels got off to a slow start since I slept in pretty late. The first thing I did was walk to the Grand Place, with its shiny gold buildings. From there, I searched for some true Belgian waffles, and was not disappointed by my strawberry and Nutella waffle. I also … Continue reading Belgium: Brussels & Bruges (Jan. 6-7)

ADPals in Paris (Jan. 3-4)

I took the night train from Milan to Paris, which was an interesting experience. There were 6 people in a tiny little room on little "couchette's" but actually I slept for almost the entire time. So all in all it wasn't bad. I arrived in Paris at 11:15 am, later than expected since my train … Continue reading ADPals in Paris (Jan. 3-4)

Dec. 29: We took a pretty long but scenic bus ride from Munich down through the Swiss Alps to finally arrive in Milan after 6 hours, where we checked in to the Airbnb apartment we're staying at near the Central Station. After we freshened up a bit, we went to Princi Bakery (my fav place … Continue reading New Years in Italy (Dec. 29-Jan. 2)

Swiss Christmas (Dec. 23-26)

December 28, 2016Leave a comment

Dec. 23: I took the train leaving Denmark going south to Germany to meet my friend Mia in her city Kaufbeuren, which is southwest of Munich in Bavaria. It was pretty much a full day event, as I took 3 different trains (transferring in Hamburg & Munich) and a ferry to finally arrive 11 hours … Continue reading Swiss Christmas (Dec. 23-26)

Dec. 20: After my layover experience in Iceland, I boarded my second flight to Copenhagen, and was greeted at the airport by my Danish friend Johan, who lives in a suburb of Copenhagen near the airport called Kastrup in Amager. We took the bus back to his house, where I'm staying for my time in … Continue reading Copenhagen, Denmark (Dec. 20-23)

Six Hours in Iceland (Dec. 20)

December 23, 2016Leave a comment

This winter break I decided to spend 3 weeks in Europe visiting my AFS friends for Christmas and New Years and just doing some traveling. I flew with Icelandair, and my flight had a scheduled layover in Iceland for 7 hours. After doing some research, I decided I'd spend my layover doing something fun and … Continue reading Six Hours in Iceland (Dec. 20)

The last stop on my mom & my European vacation was Rome, the Eternal City! We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott Rome Central Park, which is pretty far from the city center, although a good hotel. When we arrived at Termini station in Rome, we crammed on to the metro, got off at the last … Continue reading Rome: Caput Mundi
