It’s my last night in Vietnam. Wow. That’s a statement that I’ve been dreading admitting to myself, for a few weeks now. To be honest, I’ve been putting off writing this post for the last few days because I knew it would be strange and somewhat upsetting. I’ve also been touring Vietnam with my family …
When I flew into Genoa, I was absolutely stunned at the landscape. The airport was located right next to both mountains and the downtown business district, which made for an absolutely gorgeous landing. Upon arrival, I immediately headed to the center of town to eat lunch. I decided to do a bit a research before …
Things have be so busy lately! With school and trying to be the best, tourist on a budget ever, I’ve managed to stay on my toes always. Since the last week of November though, there has especially been less time to breathe and think. Due dates are coming and finals are just next week. I …
Hiya! I just realized that I’ve had a saved draft for this blog called ‘Reading Week and a trip to Europe’ for a month now. I best catch up! In the middle of December, City University as well most other European schools had Reading week, which is the equivalent of Loyola’s fall break. In this …

Christ University hosted a dance competition, and graciously allowed us …
Too many H’s for ya? If you haven’t noticed, I am quite the fan of alliteration in my blog post titles (I often spend more time coming up with these cutesy phrases than writing the actual post … whoops!). Regardless of my ultra-fabulous writing creativity, this weekend’s mini-trip to my Vietnamese host partner Hannah’s hometown of Tay …
Dear Costa Rica, You are one of the most beautiful and welcoming countries out there! I have been here for about 4 months now and you are making it very hard to leave you behind. I realize that I only have 2 weeks left with you, my dear, and it makes it hard to think …
Hola readers! So I don’t think I mentioned in my bio that I am a daughter to two immigrants from Poland. I love my Polish culture and couldn’t be more proud. My host family was really interested in the language when I told them and we even spent a whole day together where I taught …
