I was only in Amsterdam for two days and wanted to make the most of my limited time, and the weather decided to be helpful and downpour on me for the entire first day. Although the skies were not blue and the sun didn’t shine, the grey clouds complemented the muted colors of Dutch architecture perfectly. Also, grey and rainy weather gave me the perfect excuse to find a cozy little bar and warm up. I don’t know what it…
I was in Prague for a total of 36 hours, so I didn’t have much time to try all of the delicious food. I did do my research and made sure that everything I ate would be delicious. Most of the items you’ll see below were $5 or less, but a couple of them were more. Whether you are looking for a cheap and delicious $5 meal or a fancier sit-down dinner, I’ve got some recommendations for you below. Trdelník…
Alan’s Sometimes I would feel a little adventurous and get a hash brown added in or double cheese. You can even do the unthinkable and get SAUSAGE on a bacon, egg, and cheese. A simple B.E.C at Alan’s will run you $3 plus tax. If you are a student from one of the surrounding universities you don’t have to pay tax (woohoo). REX Not all bacon, egg, and cheeses are the same. $3 is standard. I’ve seen them for $2.50,…
Granada, Spain is by far the most historically and culturally rich city in Spain. When you think of the typical Spanish dream, you’re thinking of tapas, siestas, flamenco, bullfighting, cobblestone streets, etc. Granada has that all. Although 3 days is hardly enough time to see all there is to see in Granada, it is just enough time to leisurely see the main sites while eating your way across the city. In only three days you can try dozens of different…
Disclaimer: the food was so good it has a post of its own Prague was literally like living in a fairytale city. The buildings all had red roofs, every direction you turned in you could see some sort of tower or steeple, the streets smelled like warm pastries, and bars were in actual medieval cellars. The architecture was just spectacular. Prague is home to a very old astrological clock that dates back to the year 1410. I wasn’t suuuuuper interested in it…
Is that not the coolest thing you have ever seen? I already knew that Berlin had a lot of history, but an abandoned Cold War-era spy station that is now an artist haven? Amazing. It’s called Teufelsberg, and the story is so ridiculous it sounds fake. First off, Teufelsberg means Devil’s Mountain. Not spooky at all… Also, the “mountain” the tower is built on IS literally fake. It was manmade with rubble taken from Berlin after World War II. On top…
When I started my freshman year at university in New York in 2014, I never would have thought that the small southern Spanish city of Granada would be my home for five months. I was a city girl who grew up outside of Los Angeles and then moved to New York City. Big cities are where I felt comfortable. But, Granada turned out to be the best place for me. I mean, any city that gives you free food just…
PixCell-Deer#24 by Kohei Nawa Now, this is going to sound cliche, but half of the appeal of the Met is the journey it takes to get there. The Met is located on the Upper East Side right on the border of Central Park. I think the Met is technically inside Central Park, but whatever. I went to school near Columbus Circle which is only a mere 30 minute walk through the park from the Met. My walk through Central Park…
(picture above from emjayeats) New York is an expensive city. If you live there, you know it all too well. If you are planning a vacation, you have probably already seen the costs of hotels and hostels. If you are currently visiting New York City as a tourist, you might be wondering how anyone keeps themselves fed because the restaurants all seem so expensive. I am here to help. I lived in New York for four years as a college…
