Leipzig is a little town south of Berlin that is full of hidden treasures like my favorite beer, the only reason I ended up here (I’ll get to the beer traveling posts eventually). I started the day with a Polish family and a German friend by using BlaBlaCar from Berlin to Leipzig, met a friend as soon… Continue reading Lost in Leipzig | Day 27

How’s Berlin? | Day 25
Arriving half-asleep in a city you’ve never been, dropped off in a bus terminal that looks like you could be anywhere in the world when all you can envision in your head is a Berlin Wall covered in graffiti that is nowhere in sight might cause some people to panic. Where is the city? I… Continue reading How’s Berlin? | Day 25
Goodbye Copenhagen | Day 24
When people think of the happiest place on earth, I think for many Americans, Disneyland comes to mind. Denmark has been named the happiest country in the world and well the land of Mickey Mouse can’t come close (for me). It was hard to leave Scandinavia when it’s countries all rank in the top 10… Continue reading Goodbye Copenhagen | Day 24
When in Denmark | Day 14
Do as the Danish do. I’ve only been in Denmark for a little over 24 hours, but I’ve already seen so much. Took a walk to the beach where you can find the Nordic food lab used for NOMA, the world’s best restaurant, and Sweden across the sea. I learned that when you graduate… Continue reading When in Denmark | Day 14
Fall in love in/with Stockholm | Day 12
I fell in love with Stockholm since I got to the airport and I spotted a pizza restaurant and a sushi restaurant in the corner of my eye as I tried to find the train station to get to the city. And when the the guy that worked for the train looked up directions for… Continue reading Fall in love in/with Stockholm | Day 12
Midsummer in Sweden | Day 8
The Stockholm city life to the Swedish countryside is just a train ride away and to me, that’s perfect. I wrote before I left the states that I was afraid that I’d fall madly in love with a city early on my trip and not want to go anywhere else. It happened. I sit here… Continue reading Midsummer in Sweden | Day 8
Sognefjorden, Norway | Day 5
Cameras are clicking away on this ferry ride and I’m just trying my best not to hurl. Part of being a good guest is keeping up with your hosts, even if that means drinking whiskey and coke until 5 in the morning when you know you have to wake up to catch a ferry at… Continue reading Sognefjorden, Norway | Day 5
Iceland, you’ve changed | Day 2
I learned on the first day of this trip to expect the unexpected. It may be cliche, but it’s true. I’m learning quickly how hard it is stay motivated when travelling while battling a cold that just doesn’t seem to want to go away and maybe it’s actually because of travelling that the cold isn’t… Continue reading Iceland, you’ve changed | Day 2
Back in Iceland | Day 1
After 5 years, I’ve made it back to the land of fire and ice. I sit in Café Mezzo finding myself in a weird juxtaposition looking at Nordic flags outside, but hearing bad country music coming from the speaker above me. I’ve traveled thousands of miles across the sea to the home of Sigur Rós… Continue reading Back in Iceland | Day 1
Biophilia
Biophilia hypothesis: the idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. The cool breeze hits my face as it rustles the branches causing them to do a little subtle dance. I am surrounded by the sound of birds chirping and every so often, I’ll catch a… Continue reading Biophilia
