If you’re at university and are contemplating a study abroad trip then my advice is to just go! Six years ago I embarked on an Erasmus exchange program to The Netherlands and I can honestly say that I’ve never been the same since. Sure, there were a few moments (both before and during my trip) […]

We travel the world and spend most of our days in the quiet comforts of our own company, exploring the unknown.

The girls have been asking me for a while now to do a rainy day post filled with ideas of things to do when there’s endless rain falling outside. Gloomy days are some of my favorites because, the truth is, I don’t think I could ever be bored with my own company. More often than not, […]
