Make Your Next City Break Prague
Around four years ago, my family and I decided on a whim that we were going to go on a city break. We were not city break people, we were going to Spain and relax at the pool people or go to Disney World and ride the rollercoasters people. However, my dad showed us a picture of Prague in the Czech Republic and we thought 'why not spend a few days there?'

Icelandic Memories
Iceland has captivated my heart and soul. Other than a bit of snow and some strong wind, we’ve been very lucky with the weather. For most of the days the sky has been clear, perfect for viewing the northern lights and riding on a snowmobile. I don’t think I will ever forget my experience on my seven-day trip in Iceland. Everything from the food, accommodation, to social life has been a big experience for me.

First Morning in ReykjavÃk
I didn’t think I’d get much done or see a lot, but I did. I had a comfortable night in my pod at Galaxy. I woke up at six, but I didn’t get out of bed until nine. After my shower, strawberries, and porridge for breakfast, I walked around the area. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, I was hoping today that I would have a look around the area to get my bearings.

First Reactions to Iceland
So just about two hours ago I set foot in Iceland for the first time. As of writing, I am in my shuttle bus that is going to be taking me to my hostel. This is my second time traveling abroad on my own, but with meeting up with friends and in tour groups, I’m never really alone. Iceland is one of the countries I’ve always wanted to go to and now I can cross it off my bucket list.

How to Start Learning a New Language: French
French is a language spoken in many regions and countries around the world with various dialects and vocabulary. The one thing I love about the French language is it has so many connections to Latin, and Latin is a whole other adventure of its own. If you want to be able to expand your French knowledge, learning Latin can always be super beneficial to the learning process overall. Also, it could help you build in enough skills for yourself to be able to speak MULTIPLE languages!

Capri: A Naughty Dash to Italy's Finest Island
I’m not supposed to go to Capri until tomorrow—with the group, but... we have a free day and the anticipation of this magical, exclusive place is eating away at a few of us. For the sake of our internal organs and mental health, we go ROUGE and jump on a bus from Agerola to Amalfi, to then catch a ferry to CAPRI! #naughtysmack 👋
