10 Years Ago, A Traveler Was Born
10 years ago this week, I left small-town Connecticut for college in upstate New York. At age 18 I was terribly naive and clueless as to what lay beyond 4 years of university schooling.

City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
Let me set the scene for you:
February 2011. Stuck in a cubicle at a mind-numbing corporate job. I’m perusing Twitter, as you do to distract yourself, when I notice a slew of tweets from Airfare Watchdog, alerting their followers to a bunch of $200 roundtrip flights to Europe.
Stockholm Cafe Culture // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
With several trips to Europe under my belt, a few years ago I felt like it was time I made my first foray into Scandinavia. A big chunk of my ancestry is from Sweden and Norway, so you know – it had to happen.
Rainbow Over Copenhagen // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
My Danish friend Jasmin probably didn’t expect me to RSVP to the invite for her 30th birthday party in bumblef*ck, Denmark in 2010. But I thought hey, it’s been awhile since my last Europe trip (and by awhile, I mean 2 years).
London’s Millennium Bridge by Night // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
I first traveled to London in 2008, visiting a very good friend of mine, Melvin. Nearly 5 years later, I’m back for Round 2! By the time this post goes live, I’ll be kicking off a 2.5 week stint in this fine city and I am SO EXCITED!
St. Peter’s Basilica // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
You see pictures, you hear about its greatness… but you can’t fully appreciate St. Peter’s Basilica until you experience it in person. It is such a stunning piece of architecture.
I backpacked (er, suitcased) around Italy for 5 weeks after graduating from Cornell University in 2007.
