Home

It feels good to be home after 16 months away. I'm lucky we managed to get snow Christmas Eve and Boxing Day! Right now I'm loving up my family before heading down to Richmond to love up my friends.

A little jaunt to Ireland

Hey y'all, I finally made it to Ireland! It's so close, and I already had to cancel a previous trip, but finally! Anywho, we spent Friday in Dublin, Saturday touring around the beautiful Galway and Cliffs of Mohr, then spent our last day exploring the rest of Dublin before our early morning flight. Here are a few photos including the Trinity college library where Oscar Wilde studied and the Cliffs of Mohr and Temple bar.

Text messages from abroad part 3

I text my sister something that crippled me with laughter at a comedy show "Mr. Meowgi!!!" Her response was this photo. That is not cat related in anyway and I'm disappointed. But HI JOSH!!

Estonia's old town

Not a bad view, right?

Estonia

Hey y'all, I'm in the chilly city of Tallinn, Estonia! Here's a little something from a wander around the city.

I love London

This never gets old

Guy Fox day

Celebrating bond fire weekend or Guy Fox day in London has been real sparkly! It's basically involved random fire works for the past 3 weeks and with the Indian celebration of Dawali I've been hitting the sparklers pretty hard. Here's are a few photos!

Fall y'all

Guys and gals, it's looking like a mighty fine fall here.

Adventures back east part 1

Here are a few photos from adventures in Bratislava, Slovakia. Guys, this place is cute! But very small, so I also managed to escape via van and a Canadian friend to Vienna, Austria. Seriously, I've spent the day roaming the old town and through the palace grounds in a romantic stupor. I'm not really sure what Vienna is doing to me, but I don't want to leave. Also I attempted to eat an entire schnitzel and lets just say I was defeated, but not for lack of trying.

The first 4 photographs are from adventures in Bratislava, Slovakia . The next 3 are from roaming around Vienna, Austria.

Around town

This past Friday the roommates got together to celebrate "summer" with one of the many music festivals London host, LoveBox. Generally we had a few adult beverages and danced the day away and ended the night watching Hot Chip. Think the night stopped there? Oh no! We topped the successful night off with a delicious pizza. Living the good life I tell ya! Here are a few photos from the festivities!

Text messages from abroad, part 2

I think this might be a regular posting topic from now on. Here's a little treat my sister sent of her beastly animal.

Stormin' the castle!

From a paddle boat in the shape of dolphins with one frenchie, an Aussie and me. Lithuania you have been good fun!

Lithuania

Feeling content roaming the old streets of Vilnius, Lithuania. Meeting new and interesting people, eating delicious food, and of course enjoying the local beer. Here is a view of the city that is occupying my heart at the moment.

Best ever?

Jason just sent me this photo from our trip to Paris and the palace of Versailles. Amazing right? I mean just LOOK at my face, classy.

Nothing is worse than missing your sisters, but thanks to the iPhone app Viber these are the hard hitting texts I get from Richmond, Va.

Copenhagen, Denmark

In January Kim and I made a freezing trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. It was only about 4 days, but enough to see it all and fall in love with the Danish people, food, and well more food! Like I said, it was FREEZING! We got a a few bouts of fluffy white snow, which made the city a little bit more amazing. There was even a new princess born and we managed to see the changing of the guards who played the congratulations song at the palace. The best thing about Copenhagen would have to be the people, they were all so helpful and kind, living up to their lifestyle of being "cozy". 

Did you know Hans Christian Anderson is from Copenhagen? He wanted to start as a chorus singer, however ended that quickly and became their most famous writer of children's stories. Here's the little mermaid statue set in the outskirts of town. 

Here's hoping I'll get there in the summer to enjoy the city without clattering teeth!

ORLY?

I saw this over on the Time Out London website and thought that it was pretty cool. It's amazing to think about what goes on in this city and you have no idea.
