Daily Life

Here are some random pictures since I've been in Vallendar!

These are from a scavenger hunt for welcome week :)



We started going for a sunset walk every evening, which is the best way to end the day! And get those 10,000 steps in!!











One night I was invited to play Monopoly with Polina and Alessandra (from Russia) and then Polina's friend Falk, who is German


My Thai friend, Jah, made pad Thai for Lauren and me! It was amazingggg


Risk & international food night with the Monopoly crew! Alessandra made Syrniki, cottage cheese pancakes, which tasted SO good! I attempted to make biscuits but didn't have an oven so they tasted okay but had the wrong consistency haha



I decided to start running! The only exercise I've been doing is walking, so it felt good to finally be more active. Not sure how I will adjust being back in Florida since now if it's over 55 degrees then it's too hot to run hah.


a foggy and frigid 45 degree run


More game nights & a movie night (we watched 21, not pictured).

flammkuchen & exploding kittens :)


We had flammkuchen (not pictured) and I FINALLY WON A GAME!! I destroyed everyone in Monopoly, which might have been our last game night since one of them is leaving for Singapore and one is moving to Dusseldorf.

P.S. Tomorrow I leave for Warsaw, Poland!! To everyone asking me if I even have classes, yes I do and they get in the way of my travel :p

Athens, Greece!!!

September 10, 2021 The day started out like any other...I drank about 6 cups of coffee. Just kidding, I actually did drink the 6 cups of coffee but that is not the norm for me. However, I was extremely productive haha. The explanation? Hostels in Frankfurt for tonight were too expensive, so Lauren and I decided to take a midnight train from Koblenz to Frankfurt for our 6 am flight. So we hopped on a bus to Koblenz. September 11, 2021 We got on our midnight train to Frankfurt (while on board may or may not have booked a flight and hostel for Milan), tried to find our way to the other terminal for a good 30 minutes, went through security, and sat at our gate for 3 hours. We got a pretzel for breakfast before boarding. Although we were at the front of the non-priority line, we were not aware of an entry form that had to be filled out for Greece and had to race against the clock to finish it before they closed the gate. Then we flew for 2 hours and 45 minutes to Athens!! And of course, lis...

Warsaw, Poland!!

October 6, 2021 *during a 3 hour lecture* Lauren: what are you doing from Sunday to Wednesday? Me: nothing Lauren: we should go somewhere Me: ok *an hour and a half later the flight gets booked* October 10, 2021 You know the drill, we took a bus to Koblenz, a train to the Cologne airport, and a plane to Warsaw. While in the Cologne airport, we stopped at the grocery store to get some pre-flight pretzel croissants and paired it with some ham that I had brought from home haha. Then we went to find our gate and quickly got through security. For the first time, we actually had a flight during the day!! Landing at 4pm?? Seeing the city and trying to figure out how to get from the airport to our hostel (bus, train, then 30 minute walk) in daylight?? That's a new concept for us!  On our way to the hostel we walked by the Palace of Culture and Science and were getting hungry so stopped in McDonald's to see the Polish menu and grab a quick snack. We got potatoes with cream sauce and a L...
