What's the best way to travel Europe? 

What’s the best way to travel Europe? 

So many people, both young and old, have this dream to travel.  See Europe, experience Asia, explore Austrialia, road trip North America and more. There are so many different opinions on what the best way to do that is. I’m going to weigh in. 

With that being said,  I don’t have enough experience to knowledgable discuss this anywhere but Europe and North America as those arethe only continents I…

The life you choose 

If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life – Everyone

I woke up this morning at 5:30am to go to work and was hit by this weird feeling …. contentment.  Why is this weird you may ask.  It’s weird because I was content with the idea of heading 2.5 hours across London to work.  It’s even weirder because I’m an unpaid intern. 

I was told by family and friends when I took this…

Underrated experiences 

My wonderful people

You know what is underrated? 

Travelling to a place and just relaxing and spending time with people not seeing the tourist sights. 

That is what I did this weekend! I travelled from London to Paris via overnight coach (see my last post).  Instead of spending the weekend walking the Champ de Élysées  or climbing the Eiffle Tour, I spent the weekend on the outskirts in a little…

The Bus Travel Conundrum... Money or Sleep

The Bus Travel Conundrum… Money or Sleep

Think about the last time you traveled on a coach. Now accept my sincerest apologies that you had to do that. I’m not talking a city bus though. I’m talking a long haul bus trip from city to city. God forbid you’ve chosen to take an overnight coach somewhere. 

For those everyone who haven’t, DON’T. Unless you’re looking for something super cheap and don’t value your sleep. I put a very high value…

Alright this is one of this bucket list experiences I never thought I'd actually get to. Event of a lifetime and I wanted to post about it before it starts. These are just pump up photos but soon I will have my own. Guys.... This is going to blow my mind!

[live-for-travel]

So it's been a long time since I posted anything. These photos are just basically a mix from Eastern Europe. I haven't had proper consistent Internet in god knows how long so that why but as soon as I get all my photos in one place I will post about the whole trip day by day. My photos aren't all on my phone atm which is why I can't. Makes me sad :( 2 weeks though and I'll post everything. Tomorrowland is in 6 days now. I'm so excited! It's going to be unreal. Then I fly home. Going to be weird heading home after so long but I'll make the best of it. Until next time (hopefully soon)

Couldn't have said it better

Today is London touristy stuff. Saw all the essentials with the exception of tower bridge and London bridge. I'm Going to do those tomorrow. London is a nice city. Very interesting, however not nearly as amazing as I found Rome. Now I do know that is just my opinion but I am quite solid on it. I have met a bunch of Canadians in my room and an Irishman so we're all having a "grand" time. They're fun. London is so expensive so we can definitely all bond over that. Well that and our massive Internet failures. The Internet in the hostel is BRUTAL! Very much a pain in the ass. I am still excited about tomorrow though despite the cold and rain. We'll see how it turns out.

Yesterday was my parents final day. They flew out last night. We spent the day wandering the city with no particular direction. We found a beautiful basilica and had a mediocre lunch with a sea full that was giant. Saying goodbye was sad. We all got a little teary as my parents were getting on the train. We met a guy in Termini ( the main train station) who is from Texas and is just arriving in Rome. His name is Josh and he was in Rome alone because his ex boyfriend bought him a ticket then dumped him. So we went to a lovely dinner and met a couple from Florida. They were in their honeymoon and it was her birthday so we all went to the hostel bar after dinner and got a little drunk. That was an event seeing as I had to get up at 7 am. I left early because of my early morning and ended up getting lost and wandering the city for about 45 min until I found the hostel. Was so relieved to be in bed. All in all a fun night and I got to Skype Jimmy (my boyfriend) this morning which was definitely a highlight :) Now I'm at the FCO airport waiting on a plane IN AN HOUR to London Luton airport. Everyone wish me luck!

It was my parents final full day in Rome. We had a lovely day. We went to the Borghese Gardens. There's a long story and family history in those gardens and grounds. It's beautiful. We had a relaxing day of walking through the street on the way up to the gardens. We fell upon a bunch of small beautiful churches an shops that were breathtaking. Rome is beautiful. Everything here is beautiful. We also visited the Leonardo de Vinci Museum. He was a remarkable man. There are his writings and his inventions. It was small and unvisited which is surprising. We then went for dinner at the same place as last night. It was wonderful yet again and Tony (the owner) was so generous because he recognized us. We have to pack now so that'll take some time. We'll see how it goes.

It being Friday we thought we would be busy. SO WRONG. Today was out first day without a booked tour. This means we got to sleep in a bit have a leisurely walk take a nap and have a slow dinner. It was definitely a slow day which was much needed. I didn't realize how tired I was. We had an amazing dinner across the river and the wine was lovely as well. Another round of gelato because why not to top off the night by watching the movie "Gladiator" with Russell Crowe. A good day all in all with a well needed relaxation time.

I missed a post yesterday. What we did was go to the ruins of Pompeii. I studied Pompeii for a few years and was pumped. The city was so big and well preserved there was so much to see and we didn't end up getting to the parts I would have liked to. Today we went to the Vatican. That's country #2! The city is beautiful and amazing. The tour guild however was the worst person I've met away from home ever. I could stand him which made it harder and evidentially impossible to listen to the informative tour throughout the city. That was disappointing. The Sistine Chapel was less grand than we were assuming it would be. Of course no photos allowed. That being said, St. Peter's Basilica exceeded every expectation. It was breathtaking. We proceeded to have a lovely dinner an take a walk to the Trevi Fountain for the night view. It was gorgeous. I'm so glad I get to return to Rome again this trip before I leave for home. :D

The tour group for the Segway tour

[live-for-travel]

SEGWAY TOUR! Unbelievably cool! I’ll be leaving the web address of the tour group later. It was an all day tour. It was amazing. Our tour guild, Max, was amazingly informative and we covered almost all the essentials of Rome in the day. We saw them all and got to tour the inside of most. Max also told us cool little fact of all these places as well as the necessary “must-knows”. We had a fabulous lunch which was included in the tour that was unexpected. The tour was fabulous I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who visits Rome.

Yesterday (Sunday) I met up with my parents and we went to the apartment we rented. Beautiful place. We then got dressed and went to a lovely dinner and a long walk around the city. We saw the dome of St. Peter's Basilica and the river and spent some time in the square outside out apartment.

Today we had 5 hr walking tour through the Roman Forum, up Palatine Hill, and through the Colosseum. It was amazing and informative. Our tour guild was a young girl who knew a lot about the history and archeology of the sites which made the tour more interesting. When the tour finished we grabbed gelato and headed back to get ready for dinner. We went to a lovely dinner across the river and then just headed home after another round of gelato.

Always a good kind of day with one hell of a sun burn.
