To sum up Budapest in 1 sentence, An ever-expanding global city, whose major challenges include rapidly developing infrastructure to accompany their influx of tourists, and maintaining the authenticity of Hungarian culture. During my time there I heard about opportunities and challenges tourism creates. About how Budapest both needs and isn’t ready to deal with their…
Tag: Pitt in Prague and Krakow
From Krakow With Love
There is nothing quite like having the first flight in a long trip delayed long enough that you reach the next gate one minute before departure, just for that flight to be delayed indefinitely. Easily the worst part of international travel is getting to and from your destination. Even still, it is well worth the…
The Fastest Three Weeks of My Life
It is hard to believe that my program is over and I am back in the United States. The past three weeks have been the best and fastest of my life. I was able to experience four new cities and cultures in Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Budapest, and Krakow. I saw beautiful castles, churches, and…
My time in Central Europe

Budapest is 3.5x the size of Pittsburgh!
I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop with Julia on a very rainy day here in Krakow and am still smiling. Rain is my least favorite weather, but there is something about sitting in a coffee shop in Poland on my laptop drinking a cappuccino that makes its all okay! In addition to writing this…
Free water makes all the difference
Studying abroad is strange because the days feel so long but the weeks pass in the blink of an eye. I am already two weeks into my program and am having the most amazing experience. As for my living situation, I was able to choose my roommate for the entirety of my trip. Her name…
Getting Where I Need to Go in the Krakow Time
One of my favorite things about going to school at Pitt is the transportation. A quick walk is all that is needed to get to class, yet there are still busses available in case it is raining or students need to go somewhere further away like the city. I find transportation to be a very…
