I just wanted to post a few pictures from the last few weeks in Uppsala. It has been so beautiful, especially when we get a little snow on the ground. We made it to a couple Christmas markets and checked out what they have to offer! So cute. Christmas markets are one of my favorite … Continue reading Christmas in Uppsala →

Last trip of the semester! Cassie and I wanted to make our way up to the north of Sweden to experience the Nordic winter. While almost nothing went according to plan, the location was still beautiful and we had a great time. The town is a sweet one, hosting the northern-most university in Sweden. We … Continue reading Lazy Days in Lulea →

We departed for Gothenburg from Uppsala by train. It was clear on the train ride that many of us were still recovering from our time in London. On day one, we explored Gothenburg with a food tour. My favorite part of the tour was a fun little factoid about the market square: So the market … Continue reading Greetings from Gothenburg →

I am going to lead by saying that I probably slept for a total of 10 hours for the three nights that we were in London. Kayla, Cassie, Lamija and I arrived at our air bnb around 1 am and had to plan out logistics for the next day, which kept us up until 3. … Continue reading Lost in London →

Cassie was looking through the pockets of the jacket that she had bought in Budapest (it has like 50 pockets) while I was goofing off on my phone. I heard Cassie inhale sharply. "Lucy!" she exclaimed. I looked … Continue reading Budapest makes a Crazy Comeback! →

In Romania, there are lots of nice people but no promises that anyone speaks a word of english. There are lots of … Continue reading Fall Break Part 3: Romania →

Athens! We only spent two full days in Athens, but they were two fabulously relaxing and beautiful days. We arrived in the evening with just enough time for a late dinner before bed. We made our way down the street from our airbnb to find that we were far off the tourist's beaten path- this … Continue reading Fall Break Part 2: Athens →

At the end of October, we had 14 days without class to celebrate fall break. I didn't decide what I wanted to do until right at the last minute but I ended up having an amazing time. Most people in the program had family visiting them, but Cassie and I both didn't have anyone visiting. … Continue reading Fall Break Part 1: Budapest →

I realized that I have been writing a lot about my travels and forgetting to write about what I do when I am in Uppsala! So this is just a little taste of my home life: We like to go to the student organizations called nations for a night out, and get up to lots … Continue reading Life at the Homestead →
