Autumn Auspices
I haven’t posted in five weeks, I know!! My six classes, two clubs, and writing associate job got the better of me this month. Since my life has mostly been consumed with work and not any glamorous tours of Europe lately, I’ll give you some recs of stuff I’ve been reading/watching in the last month: Books: Little Fires Everywhere by…

Twenty-Two
Hey, I don’t know about you…but I’m (not quite) feeling 22! 22 feels old to me, which is laughable, I know, but I’m still very much as unadult-like as I was years ago. I did, however, manage to drive around yesterday and blast Taylor Swift’s “22” to make me feel more twenty-two-ish. I thought about how the last birthday-themed Taylor…

It’s a Good Day to be a Buckeye
Week 2 of classes is upon me! My last first day of school on the 21st was a strange mix of feelings. First of all, I was deeply missing the winding, cobblestoned walk to my London classrooms. I never took that walk for granted when I was there, and I hope I remember the route and its smells and its…

Life after London
Alright, a “couple weeks” blog hiatus turned into, like, a month and a half blog hiatus. But that’s ok. I’ve been busy working and reading and hanging with my friends and family, uninterrupted. I’m happy to get back to this, though, and remember what exactly I wrote about before this turned into a travel blog. But overall, life after London…

France, Spain and Home Again
I got home on Wednesday, May 23rd. My last week in Europe feels like forever ago. Sam and I were pretty stressed for a few days, about a week and a half ago, when we got stuck in Lyon, France, because of train strikes. We were trying to get to Nice, but the trains stopped running for a few days,…

Alpine Adventures
I’ll tell you what, the hills are definitely alive with the sound of music. Sam and I began our Eurailing adventure through Austria on Sunday. A Eurail Pass is a universal ticket for mostly all European trains. There are a bunch of different options, like single-country passes, 2-4 country passes, and 5+ country passes within a set amount of time.…

Street Art & Fairytales: A Short Guide to Berlin and Baveria
Hallo aus Deutschland! I just got done with traveling for a week in Germany and it was incredible!! I’m definitely feeling my German roots. My great-grandma Christa Elisabeth Adams (née Wolf) was born in 1924 in Penig, Germany. My own middle name, Elisabeth, is spelled with an “S” by the way because of her German spelling. Anyway, Christa spent part…

Finding Hygge in Copenhagen
Hej from Copenhagen! Copenhagen has both worn me out and energized me at the same time. This city has kept me busy, but allowed me to relax and enjoy the Danish way of life. I’ve done a ton of stuff and feel like I’ve been here for over a week, but really it’s only been four days since I left…

Farewell, London
Well, I’ve come to the end. My last exam is tomorrow and I leave London on Thursday. I prepared for this semester for over a year and I can’t believe it’s actually ending. Everyone said it would go by quickly, but the fact that I’ve lived in London for almost four months without realizing it is mind-boggling. I could absolutely…

Galway Girl
Hello from Ireland! I decided to take a solo trip to Ireland in the dead weekend between final papers last week and final exams this week/next week. Although traveling solo can be lonely, especially at first, I’ve had an incredible time in Ireland and I would highly recommend traveling alone. I get to do what I want, see what I…
