For about $20 and an hour long sit on a train you can skip out of Brussels for the day and visit the fairytale-esque town of Bruges. Our goal was to plan a day with a mixture of historical topics, delicious food and beer, and of course plenty of pretty sights! The day panned out […]
One of the most common questions I’m asked is “how do you afford to travel all of the time?” First and foremost, you have to be open to all travel possibilities. Most recently for me that meant traveling to Europe in the winter. Aside from Christmas markets and snowy ski slopes, travelers typically don’t see […]
I recently finished off a disposable camera that I’ve been carrying around since January 2015 (good work, memory) and took it to be developed. I’ve talked about film with you all before but just to summarize; back in high school I learned how to shoot black and white film with a manual camera, and with living […]
The last stop on my “Tour de France” was the historical city of Marseille (Californians- think Santa Cruz) and as a history geek I am going to force-feed you a bit of background history that I feel is worth noting! This southern French city dates back to the late 15th century when Marseille served as France’s […]
In typical Michelle fashion a lengthy amount of time has passed since an event so now I feel inclined to write about it (I put the “pro” in procrastination). For the duration of your reading pleasure please disregard the fact that (spoiler alert!) Portugal won the Euro Cup and that the tournament is over because we’re […]
Just over two years ago a highly anticipated expansion exclusive to the Paris park was opened in Walt Disney Studios, a space dedicated to Paris’ own “Little Chef” from the Pixar film Ratatouille! The pavilion is charming with its popping champagne bottle fountain and French street artists that will sketch your silhouette, along with an amazing […]
What’s a girl to do when she has to choose between spending time in Paris and in Disneyland? Split her time evenly, of course! Or at least that’s what this girl does! Making a one-day trip to Disneyland Paris is very do-able but I suggest you have some sort of plan for what you want to […]
PSA: this is one of three Disneyland Paris posts so if you’re a Disnerd then I invite you to relax and pull up a chair but if Disney is not your thing…how on Earth did you end up here?? There are multiple reasons this park stands out among the others but the main draw for me is […]
Paris and I have met before but in the three years since my last visit I like to think I have grown as a traveler and a blogger, or at least hope so! I previously wrote about my trip in general but today we are going to cover my “second round” travel tips for Paris! Tip #1: […]
The day has finally come… I’m Europe-bound! I’m trading in my California sunshine for British tea time and French crêpes for the next three weeks– I think I’ll be alright. The rest of my June includes a stay at Cambridge University, visiting the city closest to my heart, London, and then off to Paris, a […]
