Munich is a multi-layered city, drenched in dark history but deeply connected to the cultural heart of Bavaria.

From the top of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, a sweeping panorama of Salzburg’s Old Town opened out before me.

After hours on the road, we pulled into the town of Innsbruck, Austria. As I stepped off the bus, the alpine blue of the River Inn unspooled before me, brilliant against the multicolored buildings that rose from the opposite bank, under a shrouded mountain.

Wandering along the colorful streets and canals in the sunshine, licking my lemon gelato, I felt like I was living in the perfect moment. 

It was the day after my college graduation, and I was on my way across the sea for a two-week adventure in Ireland. I wasn’t just chasing adventure; I was chasing myself.

Wherever I go from here, I will carry London with me, and I will remember all that it has given me. 

In the past three months, London has never stopped surprising me — and I’ve surprised myself by becoming a part of it.

My three-day jaunt to Italy was a gorgeous, romantic vision colored by over-exposure to Italian films — but the imperfect, mishap-riddled reality was much sweeter.

Never in my life have I experienced such beauty and wonder as I found in the rise and fall of the Scottish Highlands. 

A breather from the city can be a welcome respite, and a glimpse of the mysterious beauty of the countryside was just what I needed.  

It’s impossible to explore Paris in a only a few days or explain it in only a few words — but I’ll try.

Traveling on the tube is part of a London life — with all its ups, downs and delays. Ride a day in my routine.

Less than two hours outside London, I came to Brighton, a coastal town nicknamed "London-By-the-Sea."

In the center of the whirlwind city of London, there is a 350-acre patch of semi-tamed wilderness, and its name is Hyde Park.

Sometimes, when I'm standing in an empty underground platform waiting for the rush of the next train, I like to remember that twenty-nine years ago, my father was in the exact same place.

There is something magical about Southbank on a Sunday morning.
