Me, Myself, and I Have No Idea What I’m Doing

Let’s recap a little since I’ve been MIA (aka a 3 year chunk): 2017: graduated undergrad. Went to Israel. Was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder (life can’t always be pleasant). Worked. Ran a half marathon!!! Applied to grad school. 2018: accepted to grad school!!! Back to Israel. To the Emergency room (eeeek) Some…

Four Months to Forever

As I’m coming into my final 48 hours in the place that I have lived for the past four months, I can’t help but become a little reminiscent and a little nostalgic about my semester. Here’s my top 20 things I’ve learned in Florence and while studying abroad: It’s hard to pick up and leave…

Family & Firenze

I love being in Florence, but I also love being at home with my family. So as soon as they booked their flights to visit me, you better believe I had a countdown on my phone. I was up and ready for them to be here before they even landed at their layover, and the second…

If you’re a runner I highly suggest lacing up your sneakers and running through the gardens. I went on a day…

Irish I Had “Moher” Time Here

While it may not have been St. Patty’s Day, Ireland was still so much fun to visit! The country is so different from New York, Rome, or even Florence. There is so much grass land it is beautiful, but there is also the Dublin city center. Dublin is such a fun and exciting city. This…

The Happiest Place on Earth

  Not Disney World, but Copenhagen. Seriously, Denmark is ranked as the #1 happiest country in the world (check it out here). There is something very enticing about the city, starting with the transportation. The metros run without any conductor. You can sit in the front row and look straight out of the train, it’s so…
