Berlin Cathedral, or Berliner Dom, is the jewel of the Berlin skyline. With its aqua domes and gorgeous architecture, this cathedral invites visitors in with grace, class, and an air of romance. On my first visit to Berlin, I didn’t go inside, but rather admired it from its lawn. This time, I made it a …
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin is one of many tributes to the millions of people who were tortured, executed, and ethnically cleansed by the evil Nazi regime. Remembering history, and to do so from the perspectives of the marginalized, is one of the most important ways we can educate ourselves …
At this point, you can basically associate vegan with Berlin. This is one of my favorite cities in the world, from the first time I visited as a student in Barcelona. Yet another reason to love Berlin? All the delicious vegan options! Here are all the spots you should check out for vegan food in …
Amsterdam is known as one of the most expensive cities in the world. That begs the question: Is Amsterdam on a budget a possibility? When I visited for the first time, planning and on-the-ground expenses were both more than I usually spend on travel. But, they were not as expensive as I expected. Read on …

On my most recent trip to Europe, I purposely planned a train layover in Belgium, because I had yet to see the country. I know a train layover doesn’t count as seeing a destination, but I couldn’t pass up the chance when …
I know, I know. It’s been far too long since I updated y’all on what I’m up to. Oops. Somehow, I ended up in Europe again this year, because my best friend, Destiney, called me a few months ago and told me she was going to the Netherlands. This destination was on my study abroad …
