It feels like only yesterday that I was writing about moving in at the University of Aberdeen… and now I’m back at St. Olaf writing about my last week in Aberdeen! Oh, how time flies. Despite having some finals to finish during my last week, I had a LOT of fun. I think some of …
A few weeks ago, Alyssa and I toured Auschwitz-Birkenau while staying in Kraków, Poland. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m glad I went. If given the chance, I recommend everyone to go. That said, it was an overwhelmingly difficult experience, and I wouldn’t do it again. Prepare yourselves… I will be sharing every detail …

In my last post, I mentioned that Alyssa and I would have lots of quality time together this week. Here’s why: we’re spending the week in Central Europe! On Sunday, we took a 5:45 am flight to Prague, Czechia. We didn’t get much sleep the night before since we had to be at the airport …
When I returned to Aberdeen after my trip to Budapest, it hit me that I only have a few more weeks left of my semester abroad. Although I am beyond excited to be going home, I realized that I will soon have to start saying my goodbyes. I’ll be going to some of my favorite …
Here’s an entire post dedicated to photos from Budapest because I don’t think they would all fit on the main page 😆. Enjoy!
