A Daytrip to Ancient Fiesole
In Florence, you are constantly surrounded by beautiful Renaissance buildings, narrow streets, and busy shops. However, for those wanting a change of pace from the bustle of the touristic city, or those interested in another aspect of history, Fiesole is the perfect little village to take a day trip to. I recently visited this ancient ...
Mountains of Immortality
As you can tell from my previous posts. I am an honest story-teller, I don’t shy from the facts and possible gray areas of living abroad. There are many layers to traveling that people tend to shy away from such as loneliness and the struggle of fitting in, mental and physical health, curbing stress and ...

An Impromptu Trip to Vienna, Austria
This weekend, I explored the wonders of Prague, Capital of the Czech Republic, and through some crazy circumstances, I also got a day trip to the beautiful Vienna, Austria!

THE SUMMER DAYS ARE GONE…
Most summer days in Beijing I’d tread to work early in the mornings then come home to meet friends to enjoy the freshly polluted air, the sweet bites of bugs, and juice from the watermelon. All of which are gone now that the temperatures have sunk below 10 degrees Celsius. The thrills of meeting new ...
Thanksgiving in Brussels
Though we may sometimes forget about it due to the immediate sprinkling of Christmas decorations after Halloween, Thanksgiving is a time honored tradition in America. For Drexel students, it means coming home, plopping on your bed and passing out from exhaustion until someone wakes you for Turkey. In Brussels, it’s really just any other Thursday. ...
Back to the Start
I’ve been quite busy since settling in Melbourne, and I’ve tried to keep an open mind and take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. I’ve had my fair share of chaos, but I haven’t lost sight of why I wanted to keep this blog in the first place. Not only have I been ...

Planning for the Worst When Traveling
Please note that this is a retired Drexel study abroad program. To learn more about available programs, contact Drexel Global studyabroad@drexel.edu. Fall break just ended for us (more on that to come) and unlike some of my other travel experiences, it was not smooth sailing. There was a strike in Brussels airport that caused many flights ...
Weekend in Cairns
Well, I can officially say I’ve now seen two of the seven natural wonders of the world. This past weekend was a special one as I took a mini trip to Cairns, in Northern Queensland. Although Cairns is a smaller city, its tourism industry is booming due to the fact that the city is located ...
