2 weeks ago was the end of my spring break, had I have no time to catch a break. It’s been a jammed packed weekend every week! Starting my first day of my last quarter makes me so bittersweet, since I’m happy to almost finish with all the stress of school, but there is so…

When in Rome… Do what the Romans do
My favorite city. Rome is a very Catholic city, with plenty of beautiful catholic churches all over the city, as well as untouched ruins spread throughout. The city has so much history throughout two and a half thousand years, it is incredible. You can probably find a time line of Rome on Wikipedia. There was…
The Floating City of Water
Venice, Italy, a city that is one of it’s kind. As The New York Times would say, “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man” Personally I don’t have a lot to say about this city, but it’s beauty. It’s history is vague, and it’s hard to make out why the city was built. It…
München, Deutschland

Anyways… everyone knows how important this place is in history. But elaborate? Yes! it’s a very beautiful palace with lots…

Parting is Such Bittersweet Sorrow
The quote from Shakespeare is “parting is such sweet sorrow”, I like “bittersweet sorrow” better. These past 3 months in Dublin has been a trip to remember for a lifetime. I had made friends in Dublin from all over the world. Worked in a scientific setting, and presented my research in a new country. The…
Ireland Week 10
Dinner in Dublin, and hiking in the Wicklow mountains (hills)
Rebel County, Ireland
Spent my last weekend in the County of Cork Ireland. It was a nice city, smaller then Dublin of course. It’s called the Rebel County because it used to be a rebellious city, and they think they’re still the ‘real’ capital of Ireland. I visited a neighboring town(village) called Kinsale and it was supposed to…
