Welcome back! On Tuesday morning, Alyssa and I took a 7 hour train from Prague to Kraków. Our main reason for traveling to Poland was to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was the Nazi’s largest concentration and extermination camp. I will be discussing this experience in a later post, as there is still a lot for me …
Alyssa and I went to Poland! I am still in the progress of writing blog posts for this part of our trip, but for now here are some photos from Kraków.
Yesterday was an eventful day. Here’s why: We nearly missed our train to Kutná Hora Alyssa and I woke up early and walked about ten minutes from our hostel to Prague Main Station. We used the kiosks inside the station to buy our tickets to Kutná Hora, a town that is located about an hour …
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 …

My 21st birthday was one that I will never forget. I started the day by going to the most beautiful café in the world: New York Café. This is one of the most popular spots in Budapest, and I can see why. The place is absolutely beautiful! It looks more like the inside of a …
As I mentioned in my last post, Thursday turned out to be quite different than I had planned on my itinerary. That’s the fun part about traveling solo! I can make as many changes as I want and nobody will mind 😆. However, I don’t think anyone would’ve resisted if I said that I wanted …
As many of you know, I was supposed to study abroad in Budapest last January. I would have taken a math class with one of my favorite professors and about twenty other St. Olaf students.
