Postcards From Glasgow

You know that feeling of nostalgia for places you’ve been?

Lately I’ve been feeling a little homesick for Scotland - particularly Glasgow, Scotland. I lived and worked there for a year when I was getting my Master’s degree from Strathclyde Uni.

Glasgow is such a unique city. In my opinion, it’s about as authentically Scottish as you can get. I always tell people that Edinburgh is what we want Scottish culture to be, Glasgow is what it actually is. And while I’ll always love Edinburgh as my first true love, the roughness and realness of Glasgow will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Time Away in Tenerife

A few years back I needed some space to think - that happens with me from time to time.

Back then I was living abroad and had the finances and freedom to jet-set at a moment’s notice, I thought what better way to clear my head than a cheeky wee beach holiday? So, that’s exactly what I had in mind when I booked a week’s vacation on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

“I love Manchester. Everyone knows that - I have said it many times...”

I love Great Britain. I am probably the biggest Anglophile of anyone I know. I have been obsessed with the culture, the food, the people, and the places of the U.K. for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite places in GB, without question, is Manchester, England.

"[Stockholm] Captures the Heart of Every Visitor..." Including Mine.

Well, that’s it then - time to close yet another chapter in the book that is my #studyabroad adventure. My flight leaving Stockholm departs in just under 2 hours and I’m pretty sad to say goodbye - Sweden’s been good to me.

Through the Ups and Downs, I've Made it Past the Halfway Mark a Stronger and Happier Person, and I've Still Got a Long Way to Go.

I can't believe it’s already over a week into the month of April. Where on earth has the time gone? It’s been quite some time since my last update and so much has happened since then; I’m sure I’ll struggle to fit everything in (or perhaps more accurately just remember it all), but I'll give it a go.

The Time I Spent Spring Break With My Best Friend in the French Riviera.

The Time I Spent Spring Break With My Best Friend in the French Riviera.

It’s that time of year again, a favorite among students in American Universities. It’s March and that means: #SpringBreak2015. Every student feels a sense of entitlement to have a kick ass spring break. It’s one of the most #basic truths that we students hold to be self-evident - you work your butt off all year and then you take a week off somewhere, anywhere, and have an unforgettable time (or even sometimes un-remember-able time, depending on your plans).
