11.10.21 I did so many different things today in Paris! I had a very relaxing morning. I walked to The Mosque of Paris (the largest in France) and enjoyed a Moroccan tea and pastry and read in the tea room I then decided to do the “hamman” or the Turkish baths. It was a very… Read More Day 49: A Full Day in Paris!

11.9.21 I started my morning by going to the pharmacy to convert my Covid vaccine card to a European QR code “green pass”. I was told that in France, restaurants and museums do not accept the CDC vaccine card so I spent €36 to have it converted. I then walked to “Cloud Cakes” which is… Read More Day 48: Reunited with Joanna!

11.8.21 My train from Milan to Paris was at 11:20 so I had some time in the morning. I went to a popular cafe called Pave and enjoyed my morning coffee and pastry at the hostel. I packed up my things and headed to the train station. My first train to Basel was 4 hours,… Read More Day 47: Milan —> Paris

11.7.21 Me, Matteo, and his friend Guilia all slept in until about 10:30. We had a slow morning getting ready and had a coffee and headed out to the Burgamo city center around 12. We got lunch at a super nice restaurant and I got a pasta with red sauce and we all had some… Read More Day 46: Burgamo

11.6.21 After a long day yesterday, we both slept in quite a bit- until around 10. We then had a coffee and small breakfast and Matteo’s breakfast picked us up to go to his home town Pisogne. The drive was about an hour (which I slept through). He lives in a small town on a… Read More Day 45: Matteo’s Hometown

11.5.21 Melina left the air bnb before me to catch her flight so I was left responsible for shipping a box to London of things we couldn’t pack. This made my morning very difficult. I packed my ruck sack and the big box and barely caught my bus to the post office. Once I arrived,… Read More Day 44: Padova —> Brescia

11.4.21 Today me and Melina explored more of the islands of Venice. We got a coffee and croissant in the morning before boarding our train (of course). The coffee was very interesting though. It was like an espresso shot with chocolate sauce and hazelnuts. It was super strong but very good (I guess all Italian… Read More Day 43: Murano & Burano

11.3.21 Today the weather forecast was not as great as yesterday, but not awful! Only cloudy and sprinkling rain throughout the day. We left the air bnb around 11 (another pretty late morning but I’m definitely enjoying sleeping in without the interruption of hostel roommates!) and headed to a pretzel shop to get some snacks… Read More Day 42: Exploring more of Venice

11.2.21 We slept in quite a bit again today and started our day around 10:00. We left at 10:30 and scootered to a tattoo appointment melina had made across town for herself. It was very confusing navigating the winding streets, but we finally arrived after about 30 minutes, where I left Melina to go explore… Read More Day 41: A Venetian Gondola Ride!

11.1.21 I had an amazing sleep. It is such a relief to be in a nice air bnb, big queen sized bed, and with someone I am comfortable with. I love the backpacker life, don’t get me wrong, but this was very much needed! I woke up at 10:30 and me and melina headed out… Read More Day 40: Rainy Padova
