The title of my blog is not merely a reference to a slightly terrifying children's fable. It is a reminder that you can still keep your roots close to heart while exploring unfamiliar territories. I wrote a poem to better explain my interpretation of "leaving breadcrumbs," and why I encourage others to follow suit, to embrace … Continue reading Leaving Breadcrumbs: A Poem
As an American, I find a certain comfort traveling in countries that share my native language. English may not be as romantic as French, as melodic as Italian, or as passionate as Spanish, but it still holds a special place in my heart. Therefore, when I was planning my first solo trip in the spring … Continue reading My UK Experiences, Ranked (Throwback)
I consider myself a fairly independent person. I have seen many a chick flick alone at the movies, I've gotten used to asking for a table for one at restaurants, and I am a self-proclaimed spokeswoman for solo travel. Still, until last weekend, there was one thing that I had yet to muster the courage … Continue reading Going to A Concert Alone in Brussels
I've been making an effort to be more present in my daily life, to not live behind a screen, but rather to truly live in the moment (as the saying goes). In this pursuit, instead of sharing a super detailed itinerary for my trip to Morocco, I'd like to share just the six moments that … Continue reading My 6 Favorite Moments in Morocco
As an amateur photographer, I quite enjoy going to places that are so beautiful they do most of the work for me. I felt at many points during my trip to Morocco that no matter where I pointed my camera, the resulting photo would be Facebook cover-photo worthy. So I figured I might as well … Continue reading Morocco in Photos
Oh, Firenze, full of so much romance, art, and beauty that it would melt the heart of even the coldest snowman. My day trip to Florence was by far my favorite experience during my one week in Rome last November. The city is large enough that you'll never run out of photographable things to see … Continue reading A Day Trip to Florence
I've been traveling around Europe for about a year and a half now, and I've noticed a sort of pattern to all of the must-see tourist sights in each city. Most of the places on my list probably will not come as a surprise, but I believe that if you can hit up each of … Continue reading 6 Sights in Every European City
Although I only started my blog a couple months ago, I've been living abroad since August 2016, and have accumulated a lot of adventures/travels since then. Therefore, I will be posting some of my trips with the label "Throwback" to signify that I took them over 3 months ago and that my memories aren't as … Continue reading Around Central Europe in 8 Days (Throwback)
In late October of last year, I dared to venture to the city of love all by my lonesome (although 2018 is the year of self-love, right? So maybe I was just ahead of the trend). I figured Rome was the perfect city to see solo, as there are plenty of things to do, interesting … Continue reading When in Rome…Do as the Tourists Do?
One of my favorite ways to prepare to travel to a new city is to make a playlist. You can read travel books or blog posts to get all the necessary information about accommodation, restaurants, must-see monuments, etc., but nothing can quite capture the spirit of a city like music. The perfect playlist will get … Continue reading A Playlist for Rome
I've lived abroad for about a year and a half now, and I can honestly say I have never felt more American than when I left America. I probably wouldn't have considered myself a patriotic person prior to taking that leap across the Atlantic, but when my introductory speech upon meeting a new person started … Continue reading Become More Patriotic By Going Abroad
