Budapest

My friend David Olmos and I went to Budapest, Hungary for a weekend and it was an aweesommee city. The first thing we did, after arriving at our hostel and being greeted with rum chocolate, was try the Hungarian goulash - in a cauldron. I felt like Hermione, or Mrs. Granger conjuring up food. (I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan.) We then strolled around the city, visiting the Chain Bridge over the Danube River and climbing up Castle Hill. That was a bit of struggle for me (and my cheap Charlotte Russe boots) but we made it and it was worth it to see the Cinderella-esque castle. We made a few attempts to imitate the scene where Cinderella loses her shoe, but they were not very convincing. The next day we did some more exploring and my favorite parts was going to this great indoor market. I almost bought a hat - but then discovered that it was made of real fur and was 200 Euro, more than the cost of the entire trip. 

First Encounters with Prague

Prague is INCREDIBLY beautiful. You can see traces of Gothic, Renaissance, Medieval and Baroque architecture all in one building.

I only know that because I'm taking a "History of Czech Art and Architecture" class and I want to sound impressive.

NYU provided us a with free tour to Prague Castle, and I'm not someone to deny anything free, especially on such a beautiful day. At the end of the tour there was a wine festival and then we got our hands on some Burcak - basically baby wine.

Marrakech

This fine lady is Suzie. We spend our days traveling throughout Northern Africa spreading messages of peace. Apparently David Olmos is not very fond of her or our mission, as evident by his stank face. 

Study Abroad in Prague

I'm currently studying in Prague, I'm actually going back home to New York in two weeks so I suppose this blog is a tad bit delayed, but there's no harm in reflection, right?

Here's my kitchen, "dining room" and my room. Much more spacious then I'll EVER see back at an NYU dorm.

Day One.

A blog dedicated to my daily musings, aspirations and adventures.
