A-frick-yeah! Who knew that on my European adventure I would get to go to another continent! I was so excited for my Moroccan adventure with two of my best friends: Amber, a sorority sister of mine from Chico studying abroad in Verona, Italy; and Katelyn, one of my best friends in London.

España

I got in late during La Semana Santa, or "The Holy Week". Semana Santa is the largest festival in Seville that is celebrated the week leading … Continue reading España
Italy
Verona I flew from Warsaw to Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliette. Verona is in Northern Italy and is in the countryside with lots of green land. Don't get me wrong, it is touristy, but it also has a small town feel. I only had 12 hours in Verona, so when I arrived I … Continue reading Italy
Poland
*Full discloser* I am going to keep the posts from my spring break trip short, sweet, and to the point. Poland was the first stop on my 18 day best-spring-break-ever trip. I met one of my sorority sisters Maria in Warsaw, which is the capital and largest city in Poland. We spent our first day … Continue reading Poland

Prague, Czech Republic
Prague: where the unemployment rate is only 2% and beer is cheaper than water. Let me just start by saying despite all of the rude people in customer service, I had the best experience in this beautiful city with dreamy, turquois-topped buildings and renaissance-like detail work. I flew in Thursday night with two of my … Continue reading Prague, Czech Republic

In London, this is a huge celebration filled with lion dancers, parades, acrobatics, and lots of yummy food!
