Welcome

Hi y'all, welcome to my new blog! First and foremost, this blog will serve as a culmination of my research, planning, and experience studying abroad spring 2018 (going to Dublin, yay!). If you know me, you know I go into nothing without a plan so I'll share prep for all of my trips in europe along with recommendations on the places I ~love~ while there!  Thanks for joining me, let's go on an adventure! ^ photo of some really great cookie dō in an ice cream cone, cause why not?

London, England (part 2)

On the eve of a royal wedding, we decided to take a trip to London to see Harry…   Potter. Obviously. Yer a Wizard Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter  So, this was admittedly the main reason for our trip to London. Me and Mollie are both HUGE Harry Potter fans and they just so happened to be doing an exhibition on the Goblet of Fire, which is personally my favourite film in the series. Guys, I cannot stress how incredibly MAGICAL this experience was.

Paris, France

Girl trips with Mama Tolle are my favourite thing in the entire world. All of our adventures have been magical, but this one will be hard to top… Here’s a quick recap of our week in Paris!

I made Mom watch the sparkles 8 times in the week we were in Paris.  Champs-Elysées &  Shopping  Shoppers dream! This beautiful street is overflowing in some of the top brand names in the world: Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Nike, just to name a few.  Fashion is HUGE in Paris, so obviously so is shopping, and the shopping centres / malls keep up with the larger than life mentality. The Galleries Lafayette and BHV in the Marais were our favourites. Ladurée Ladurée is decidedly home to the greatest Macarons in Paris… trust us, we tried probably all of them ;) Arc de Triomphe I
