Barcelona, Spain
Following our last official week of classes for the semester, Daniella and I spent 5 days traveling as a mini-celebration. Part 1 was Barcelona, Spain! As we boarded the plan, we googled, “Things to do in Barcelona.” We had booked tickets ahead of time for a couple of attractions, but even then, I think this…

Nice, France & Monte Carlo, Monaco
With cold weather taking over Paris and schoolwork continuing to pile up, it was time for a vacation. Off we went to the French Riviera! Hannah had already been in Paris for Thanksgiving, and after a delayed flight and more than a bit of turbulence, I met up with her and Riana in Nice.…

Thanksgiving in Paris
Thanksgiving traditions have always been pretty chill in my family, but they’ve also become very important over the years. Drumstick Dash 5k in the morning, followed by a grocery store run to grab a Starbucks peppermint mocha and Black Friday ads, trying to watch the Macy’s parade but falling asleep instead, and eating, eating, eating.…

Parisian Chipotle
By Robin Boch Parisian Chipotle. These two words may not seem to fit together, but after eating Chipotle in Paris four times during my first two months here (yes, I am averaging at once every two weeks), I would beg to disagree. Who needs wine and cheese when you can have a burrito the size…

Halfway Through Abroad
As of October 22, I’m halfway through Everyone told me this semester would go by quickly. It has, and I’ve had such a crazy amazing time seeing Paris and traveling around, but to be honest, it’s also been one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced. I’m a bit burnt out when it comes to…

Weekend in Copenhagen
Quite a few Tulane people choose to study in Copenhagen, and I was lucky enough to meet up with some of them on a weekend trip there. It was so cool to see my friends in their element while abroad, and I just couldn’t say no to having free tour guides 🙂 Overall, it was…

Roadtrip to Oktoberfest
My trip to Oktoberfest was pretty disorganized and last-minute, to say the least. That being said, it’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures that I’ll always look back on and laugh about. First some background: At Tulane, it’s pretty common for the people spending their fall semester abroad in Europe to go to Munich for Oktoberfest…
