It’s been a while since my last general check-in blog where I wasn’t talking about something I did on vacation. November has been a much more back-to-business month after fall break. My classes are all going well, I’ve been on some very interesting walks to see things such as the Inns of Court, I saw…

Rome – The End of Fall Break
After Munich, I spent the next 3 or 4 days of my fall break in Rome, Italy. I would be meeting 4 of my friends from CAPA there. In fact, I didn’t have any particular desire to go to Rome and probably wouldn’t have gone during my time abroad if not for my friends. My…
Neuschwanstein Castle and Goodbye to Munich
Probably the highlight of my time in Germany during my fall break was my visit to Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. The Castle is situated on a large hill overlooking the small village of Hohenschwangau in southwestern Bavaria. It was built by King Ludwig II in the 19th century to serve as his home. We started…
Acting in Vienna
As amazing as Vienna has been, I did leave much behind in Pittsburgh. There was so much I could not do being in Europe. One of which was performing on stage which I lost the ability to do when I left Pittsburgh. There just weren’t any opportunities that weren’t professional theatre, which I am not…
Christmas Markets in Vienna

Reflecting on my time in Sydney
I cannot believe that I am already back in Pittsburgh, PA! The time in Sydney flew by, especially the last few weeks! I just wanted to address some of the things that I will miss most about studying abroad! The first thing is definitely the friends that I have made on this trip! Going into…
Alternative Thanksgiving
This past weekend I felt very fortunate to be able to see my parents during my stint abroad. Normally after a month or so away at Pitt, I will find myself retreating back to my hometown of Swarthmore to catch up on SNL episodes with family and spend time relaxing with my dog. Originally, I…
Thanksgiving in London
It’s hard to believe that we are moving into December, which means the end of my study abroad experience. Therefore, I am trying to see and do as much as I can within the next 3 weeks. This past couple of weeks haven’t been insanely crazy for me but I have still gotten to see…
A deeper look into Vienna
Two and a half months into my semester abroad, I have now becoming more accustomed to calling Vienna my home. It is a beautiful city where any fan of the arts must go to. I have explored the city by going to landmarks such as Belvedere’s art gallery, the natural history museum, the center city,…
