Fall Break

Hi all!

So, since we last talked I went on my Fall Break and, to say the least, it was amazing! The first stop on my trip was Berlin and all I can say is that if it weren’t for the fact that I cannot speak a word in German I would probably runaway and live there forever. The street art, the museums, the city landmarks, it was just an all-around incredible experience. The city has so much history, it was hard to try and see everything in just 3 days, but luckily we managed.

About half way into the trip I split from my friends and went to London to visit my sister, who is currently studying there for 4 years. It was great to finally see her and where she has been living since I had never been to London before. London had so much to offer and since I was there for a longer time than I was in Berlin I could slow things down a little bit and take my time going to all the sites.

Coincidently, my sisters Fall Break was the week after mine, so after London both her and I came back to Florence for the week. Here I took her to all my favorite spots around the city and we had some great food. It was nice having her around since it was like having a little piece of home in my current home. After an action-packed week in Florence, we headed to Paris for the weekend. She had been there before but I hadn’t and it is safe to say that Paris has been one of my favorite cities so far!

It has been an eventful couple of weeks but thankfully this weekend I can rest and relax. Even though the cities I have visited recently have been amazing, I am glad to be back in Florence and appreciate what an amazing city I get to live in for 4 months. Finals are soon approaching and I can’t believe I only have a month left. Hopefully many more adventures are to come. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated.

Until next time,
