Have I been saving this post about my trip to highclere castle for the upcoming theatrical release of Downton Abbey just so I can garner more traffic to my site? Well, of course! Last October, I took the special Fall tour of Highclere Castle. To say it was a magical experience would be an under[...]
Howdy! Growing up in East Texas, Austin was actually a pretty far drive to make without a reason to make it. The only times I ever went to Austin was for UIL State Twirling competition in high school. In college, not only were a lot of my friends from Austin, but our campus was only around 2 h[...]
In late October, my best friend and I decided to go for a weekend to Salzburg, Austria. If you grew up in America, chances are you have watched the Sound of Music (Except a certain someone I know whose reading this....cough cough my boyfriend lol). For those who don't remember, the Sound of Mu[...]
With the Fall semester gearing up to begin, I know a lot of y'all out there are anxiously beginning to pack for your semester studying abroad. Study Abroad is such a fun and exciting experience! However, knowing what to pack for study aboard and what not to pack is the exact opposite of fun! I[...]
Back in May, I had the amazing opportunity through the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects to fly to Washington, D.C. and speaking with different members of Congress about Environmental issues that affect the United States of America. Not only was it my first time going t[...]
After coming back from my study abroad, the number one question people asked me is which place that I visited was my absolute favorite. I mean Germany was home, but Cardiff, Wales takes the cake! Even homeless people are nice, which may seem like an odd statement until you encounter homeless peo[...]
Seeing Stonehenge has been on my bucket list for as long as I've had a bucket list! This of course means, that as I was planning my fall break explorations of England and Wales and I saw how close Stonehenge was to Bath I, of course, added it to my itinerary. I was a tad bit apprehensive abou[...]
Howdy! It has been a hot minute, but I'm back to talk more about my European adventures from last semester. Today we're gonna cross the pond and explore cheap things to do in London! London was by far one of my favorite cities I had the chance to visit. I liked it so much in fact, that I went twi[...]
Guten Tag! So living several months in Germany means going to Berlin is a must! Thankfully, my program actually included two week long school excursions to Paris and Berlin. After Berlin was our fall break too, so essentially it was like getting 2 free weeks of vacation (I know, I know you're p[...]
Howdy! If you ever find yourself living in West Germany, take a train for a weekend in Brussels. It's a pretty inexpensive train and not very long ride. I actually missed by first train and had to buy another ticket which wasn't too pricey (although don't be like me and miss your train). Import[...]
Zurich may be expensive but thislist of things to do during a weekend in zurich won't break the bank. Enjoy the magic of zurich without spending a ton
"Traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer" I couldn't agree more with this quote. This past fall semester I had the opportunity to study abroad in Bonn, Germany from August to December. To say it was the adventure of a lifetime would be quite the understatement. The[...]
Howdy, everyone! This post has been a long time coming, but don't worry, the long time away is because I am now a world traveler. Yup, you read that right, I have traveled the world this year. 10 countries to be exact! I've always wanted to travel and since my freshman year, I was determin[...]
Howdy! I recently got to go experience things to do in Corpus Christi This past June I took a 45 min flight from DFW to Corpus Christi, Texas. And if you're thinking to yourself "Wow, Michelle, don't you have to get to airports 2 hours before flights and your flight wasn't even in 45 mins?!" the[...]
Over spring break, I had an Interview in Round Rock, TX for a summer internship ( I got the offer! Didn't accept it though.), and decided that after my interview, I was going to make my 5-hour drive worth it. About twenty minutes from Round Rock is Georgetown, where there is a 10000-year-old c[...]
