Dobrý den!
The past week has been such a rush! I’ve been going non-stop from early in the morning until late in the evening almost every day, and most of the coffee shops here don’t open until after 8am! Be forewarned: everything opens later and closes earlier in Prague. Between juggling NYU events and getting to know Prague, I’m also attempting to learn a new...

I just love trips where everything goes smoothly. Trips where the people next to you aren’t complete weirdos and the airport terminals and gates are organized in a logical manner. Trips where the wind helps your flight along and you get to your destination twenty minutes earlier than expected.
And believe me, this destination is worth the long flights and jet lag. Prague is...

My suitcase is big, and blue.
But unlike something else I know of that’s big and blue, it unfortunately is not bigger on the inside.

When I travel, this means that...

I’m getting up at sunrise tomorrow to spend the morning in the city before I leave for the semester. This city is exceptional is so many ways- its energy, its development, its struggles, its people. Every city has its own character, and New York offers so much to so many. It gives and gives, even to people who don’t deserve it, who come to the city only to suck it dry....

travel journal:
Yesterday I decided to touch base one final time with my academic advisor. I worked everything out with her months ago about the classes I was going to take, where I was going to study abroad, and how it would work out with my academic prerequisites. What can I say? I like to plan ahead.
But sometimes even the best plans get foiled by circumstances beyond our control. I had...
