A Weekend in Cologne, Germany

This is it! The last study abroad post. My last weekend of traveling was spent in Germany, visiting the magical Christmas markets in Cologne, or Köln, and a day trip to nearby Dusseldorf.  There are over 7 different themed Christmas markets throughout Cologne, so we decided to start with the classic Cologne Cathedral Market.

A Weekend in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, oh, Amsterdam, how you have stolen my heart. This trip to the Netherlands takes the cake for my favorite trip abroad (so far!). A lot of the time when I travel I think about how Id like to come back to visit one day, but with Amsterdam, I am positive that I will live …

I have been writing primarily about my weekend travel trips, which are the most exciting part for me to tell you about, but I figured I would update about life …

A Weekend on the Amalfi Coast, Italy
