A Merry Berlin Christmas
Berlin is a city that doesn’t simply celebrate Christmas; instead, it turns into a wintry paradise where the aroma of roasted chestnuts, the sound of carolers, and the spirit of the season permeate the air. It was like walking into a lovely snow globe when I first arrived in Berlin during the Christmas season, and ...
Beyond Berlin: Unveiling the Charms of Day Trips
Potsdam – Where Royalty Meets Tranquility: Potsdam, my particular favorite, is only a hop, skip, and train ride from Berlin. I can almost picture Prussian kings and queens strolling around Sanssouci Park’s verdant gardens because to its ancient appeal. The lavish rooms of Sanssouci Palace give the impression of being a royal retreat. It’s a ...
SEVENTEEN | Cheers
28.08.2016 Most everyone was excited to get back to the states, but I wasn’t ready to leave. Only a handful of us shared the same sentiment. Being abroad was like a dream come true. We explored places we thought we would only see in pictures. We forged beautiful friendships with a group of very different people. ...
SIXTEEN | A Magical Weekend
20.08.2016 Woke up 6:00am and took the tube to Leicester Square with two friends. Five hours and thirty-five minutes of waiting in the cold, rainy London weather. Worth every ticking second, ounce of exhaustion, and spent pence. Luck must have been on our side because we got tickets for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child ...
FIFTEEN | Balance: The Student’s Motto
19.08.2016 This week has been a struggle. On top of our regular classes, we had a presentation and paper to complete, which both were worth 30% of our final grade each. Most of us couldn’t enjoy the gorgeous weather that came through this week (finally! it felt like summer weather) because we had five days ...
FOURTEEN | Shooting Stars and Hot Air Balloons
15.08.2016 The realization hit me today and is sitting heavy on my mind: only two weeks left before my study abroad comes to an end. Like a stone dropped into a still body of water, the realization created ripples of thoughts and memories – most of which inspired this post. To say the least, there were ...
THIRTEEN | Things to Do in London
12.08.2016 It’s not the first time I wrote this and it’s not the last time I will write this: living in London is expensive. After living here for about two weeks, we’ve learned a few things to work the system. 1) If you want to save money, go to the markets Whether it’s Camden Market ...
TWELVE | Bus Adventurers
7.08.2016 We came to London with hopes of exploration. For £92, we did just that. Nine of us took a bus tour through Evans Evans Tour company on an early Sunday morning. Our first stop: Windsor Castle. This is one of the primary residence for the queen. Unfortunately for us, Queen Elizabeth is on holiday and so is ...
ELEVEN | Living in London
4.08.2016 It’s been a struggle to adjust to London. Mostly in the physical sense. I’ve been battling this off and on sore throat – same goes for majority of the house. We suspect it’s from the change of weather. This past week has been seesawing between high sixties and mid-seventies with rain, clouds, and some ...
TEN | Home, Sweet Home, Again
29.07.2016 Here we are: 12 Manson Place, Kensington London. After checking in at our 24 hours reception desk, the Metrogate, we keyed in to our new home. We learned that there’s twelve of us living together in 12 Manson. I’m pretty excited about the mix: four of us are coming from Berlin and the other ...
