Honestly, I was kind of dreading coming home. I was not looking forward to the 10+ hours of travel, especially since I was starting to get sick. It also didn’t help that getting to the airport was a bit of a mess. Transportation to the airport was arranged for me and...

Over three weeks I got to see six different countries and travel to nine different cities. At that time, I got to compare each one and ultimately decide what city was my favorite. Naturally, my favorite was not what I thought it would be before the beginning of my...

I’ve finally made it to Athens! It was completely different than what I was expecting I’m not going to lie. When I think of Greece, I think of beaches and ruins. Athens is definitely full of ruins, however, it is very much a city. The ocean is about 15 minutes away...
