Denmark and Sweden
My weekend in Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden
View MoreBack to cold, beautiful Germany! The last time I was in Berlin, I was 16 years old and traveling with my high school exchange program. For some reason, I never managed to fit in another trip to the capital city of Germany in the 10+ years since that visit. We arrived in Berlin to our…
View MoreAfter our adventurous bus ride from Brussels, we arrived in the evening of the 30th to Walthamstow Central, near where Brian’s cousin lives. We were greeted with wine and great conversation, before heading upstairs to pass out to recover for our amazing next few days visiting the city. On the 31st, we went with Natalie,…

Of course, to be a true girl’s weekend, we…
View MoreJust a quick 30 minute train ride south of Hamburg is the adorable city of Lüneburg. Taking advantage of a beautiful afternoon, Ellie and I decided to visit on the second Advent Sunday for their special medieval Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market). Going to small German villages is quite easy. You pick a destination, hop on the train,…
View MoreI arrived at my hostel at 7:30 pm in Dublin. Immediately I connected to the hostel wifi – my brother and sister-in-law were at the hospital having their new baby girl, Astoria Claire, that day and I needed all the updates! It was a stressful time as a new aunt. Baby pictures are of course…
