Backpacking in Europe

Rome in Pictures

So I haven’t posted in a long time! A lot has been happening! I’m preparing for a new wave of posts… Since I haven’t been traveling they will be other exciting things – like how I decorated my new apartment with all my treasures from Europe! Anyway, as I was preparing a new post I … Continue reading »

A taste of Edinburgh

My visit to Edinburgh, Scotland, was short but sweet. I wish I could have ventured out and seen some of its countryside but oh well, I will just have to go back! Here are a few shots I was able to get during my visit…

From the streets of Temple Bar to the Cliffs of Moher

One of the best parts of visiting a new country is exploring the countryside. Visiting the outskirts of the city certainly has a way of demanding your undivided attention. It is there, in my opinion, that you see what is truly beautiful about a country and its culture.

I’m so extremely psyched on all of the support and wonderful comments I received on my San Francisco post. Big thanks to all of you who “liked”, commented, criticized, and decided to follow – you’re the best! 

Sustainability in Eastern Europe? Yes!

When I was originally thinking about backpacking in European countries like Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic the words “advanced” or “sustainable” didn’t exactly flash through my mind. To my surprise I was very wrong. Once again I had public transportation at my fingertips, the ability to rent a bicycle, and convenient fresh produce, cheese, … Continue reading »
