    Tips for stockholm

They have an airport about 45 minutes away for budget airlines. I flew Ryanair and had to pay close to $20 usd  for a one way ticket.

 Places close early.

It is very cold in the winter

The roads are very slippery in the winter

It is expensive. Nordic/ Scandinavian countries are some of the most expensive to visit in Europe

  There is a reason brands like Canada Goose are very popular here, it is cold. I am from a very cold part of the US called Minnesota, but Sweden is a cold place. I visited the area in front of the Noble prize museum. Stockholm is made up of mini islands. I explored the old town of Stockholm. I visited the palace at least in the front.  In the cold morning I boarded the ferry for the next adventure!

        What a lovely country Denmark is.  I arrived fresh off the bus. It was a long bus trip from Berlin to Copenhagen. We took a ferry. The bus is so much cheaper to take around Europe than the train. I  arrived in front of the Central train station. I had dunkin donuts for breakfast. In my home town there was not a dunkin donuts there at the time. The canal ride was close to two hours. It was a cold but fun way to see what I could of Copenhagen. When people see post cards of Copenhagen they usually see the colorful buildings. They are just as beautiful in person. This city is well put together and clean. In my hometown there use to be danish bakery, my goal was to find a danish bakery. I unfortunately did not see what I wanted in the bakery I went to. The bakery was fun and what I got was good none the less. In the afternoon I headed off to Stockholm via a very cheap flight. If you do not have much time to explore this city, take a canal ride! Seriously its like ten bucks and fun. Arriving via the central station, going to where the canal rides are offered is a ten to fifteen minute walk.  Next stop: Stockholm!

Berlin downtown

Jewish Museum of Berlin

East meets west

East meets west

      Getting to Berlin Bus station in the early frigid morning, I noticed first how much history has been made here. I have always heard of Berlin in the history books but I have never experienced first hand. During my week long visit abroad, Berlin was the city I explored the most. I googled a list of cheap things to do in Berlin. I started the morning off and went to the Jewish museum. Since I have been to the Holocaust Memorial in Israel, I was interested in this museum. It was a somber experience. They had a room full of empty faces  just like in the picture shown. The architecture was beautiful. There was one part of the museum in a zig zag motion. I became more educated in the history of Judaism in Germany because of my visit to this museum. Does anyone else notice that about museums? They educate in a very kinetic motion. I learn best that way ( hands on). I walked around downtown. I was in awe of the way buildings are built here. I had Turkish pizza for dinner, I have a new favorite food! After dinner I headed to where checkpoint charlie is(was). After feeling a bit cold I headed to the bus and waited for my next adventure.

Panic in Phnom Penh

Panic in Phnom Penh #travel #travelconfession #Cambodia

I’m about to be very real here. It’s not a story of excitement and adventure, or the type of travel to be jealous of, but the story of weak moments and slight embarrassment.

My year in Korea was brilliant as it was devastating. It was my first time away from home, and it took me a few months to get past the culture shock. But, I got into the groove, did a lot of travelling, and felt myself…
