My lesson learned in Miami: Have money for Uber.
Huge, posh, and not my cup of tea One of my three least favourite cities in the United States is Miami. It doesn't come in last place, however, so I can somewhat tolerate it when I go there to visit. The other two on my list are New York and Los Angeles. Ironically,...

Not your generic traveling. Plenty of people will be writing about the most frequented cities and capitals of countries around the world: Rome, Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, Tokyo, Miami. Sure, I might have been there too, and they're really beautiful and worth visiting. But...

A small city in Germany: Wiesbaden.
This year, one of my best friends got an internship at Fittea in Germany. This was great news because that meant I could visit her in Germany and I had a free place to stay. Where in Germany? Berlin? Stuttgart? Frankfurt? Hamburg? Cologne? None of these places. The city...

An introduction to sunny Tampa
Besides being a major business center, Tampa is a fun city to visit on Florida's Gulf coast. It's only 30-40 minutes away from St. Petersburg (which I've spoken about here) and it's a quick hop away from Clearwater (ranked as having one of the best beaches in the...

St. Petersburg: the one in Florida, not Russia
When people hear Florida, they think Miami, Orlando. When I hear Florida, I reminisce St. Petersburg. Don't confuse it with the St. Petersburg in Russia, although it was named after the original city because it was co-founded by a man named Peter Demens who had spent...

Eckerd College: More than just a university education.
I'm from Boston, Massachusetts, also known to many people as "the city of the best colleges in the USA". Maybe that's true, but that will never make me regret my choice to study at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. A lot of people have asked me why I decided to...

Amiens: The small city which left a big impression on my heart.
It's about time that I tell you about my Erasmus experience in Amiens, France. Why Amiens? Great question, why did I choose to study in Amiens? My answer is that I didn't choose it at first because it was one of my last choices. Here's how the process went: I really...

Gouda: an unexpected adventure
An unexpected trip I love cheese. That and ice cream are probably the only things that prevent me from being vegan. Oh, and sushi too. Whether or not you like cheese, you've probably heard of Gouda cheese. Who hasn't? Well, did you know that Gouda cheese is actually...
