I’m currently sitting in the Prague Airport writing this last blog post and thinking about my time in the Czech Republic. I’ve had a good couple of months in Prague and I’m so happy to have had this experience. I’ve spent the last two days at a hotel because my flight leaves today (monday) but…

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Vienna, Austria. My roommate and I left Friday after work and arrived at around 11pm (the flixbus being delayed by 45 minutes set us back a little bit). Once there, we stopped on our way to our airbnb to get a quick Doner Kebab and we…
