Traveler Solidarity

An old friend from high school sent me this message last night and it really meant the world to me. :) Now I can share it with all of you. Danielle, Bonjour! Today, I decided to sit down and take some time to read any blogs/notes/anything that I would find interesting around facebook. I stopped by different profiles to see how people have changed, and to know a little bit about their new lives...

Ridiculousness

This is absurd. I now have a gym/pool membership at the Safir Hotel/Resort across the street from my awesome apartment. I have to say that there is no living in the lap of luxury like living in the third world - even on a student budget. My weekend mornings and weekday afternoon are sure to be spent by the pool. This is so unfair. I may never live like this again.

Bono's Failure Ain't My Problem Anymore

So I am going to disregard the fact that I am completely and totally behind on my past travel posts… and begin to sum up my last month in Egypt. I suppose you can look forward to flashbacks to Amsterdam, London, and Dublin. As you may or may not know, my computer was being a little piece of youknowwhat over the course of my travels… but finally it seems to have found its place and...

The Netherlands: Seals and Sheep

Seals from Dani F on Vimeo. We went to the Seal Sanctuary in the Northern Netherlands. Seals are the cutest. Save the seals! Sheep from Dani F on Vimeo. One of the sheep is Sibylle. :)

Watch

Shout-out to Kash: I hope you don’t kick yourself too hard. ;) Explanation: My quest for the Prime Meridian, inspired by Kashifa and her annoying habit of making us traipse all over Paris searching for it. She left and on my last day before catching my train to Brussels, I found it behind the Comedie Francaise. Muahahaha.

Music on the Road: Paris

One evening, Kash and I decided to take the bus up to Montmartre and see the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. The bus ride had lots of great views of the northern parts of Paris and when we climbed up the steps to see it, we did not realize what we would find. Paris nightlife tends to pop up around touristy areas like Notre Dame, the Seine, and it did that night at Sacré-Cœur. We stumbled upon a...

Au Revoir to Paris

Sadly, I must leave Paris to move on with my trip. Being with a student group for my first two weeks felt completely different than I had expected. I think when I arrived in Paris I thought I was starting a new life in the city and leaving my old American life behind. Now that I am in Brussels, I realize how quickly phases of journeys pass by. I’m going to do my best to savor every moment...

Here begins my career as the new Samantha Brown. Maybe Travel Channel has a spot for me.

Paris: Eiffel In Love

I’ve spent one week in Paris and I will now try to summarize/make sense of my week here. The immediate thing that captured my admiration for this city is that it truly is a romantic place. It has been raining a bit which would normally annoy me, but the old architecture and buildings seem to take kindly to the weather. And there have been some gorgeous days here too. But let’s go...

One Week until Departure!

I’m slowly but surely approaching my departure, and soon to earn my title of being “The World Traveler.” I thought it would be neat to write a little about what I’ve been doing lately in New Jersey, this past year, and my expectations for the approaching one. Let’s turn up the music. I spent the past few days with my Aunt, who is one of the most fascinating and...
