So I figured that after my abroad experience I would write a blog about the best countries/cities I have visited and why they were amazing and interesting. Every city I visited had something to offer me and I was never not learning something. Whether it was trying the local cuisine, or meeting the locals with different culture, there was never a dull moment.

Rome, Italy:

Yes, Rome can be clich�d at first. Yes, Rome is a very touristy city and many people speak English, but I fell in love with Rome from the moment our plane landed. Rome is such an amazing and historical city. In every turn, there is something ancient to see. Obviously there is the coliseum, which was absolutely amazing, but just walking down streets offered something new to see. Trevi fountain was my favorite, and my first wish came true. I got to return to Rome twice during my abroad experience! Rome also houses the Vatican, the Spanish steps, and the pantheon. Also, Rome is in Italy, obviously, so the cuisine is amazing and of course, writing about the Italian food is making me hungry! 

Amalfi Coast, Italy:

Ever see pictures of a mountainside with houses situated on the mountain overlooking an amazingly blue ocean? That’s what the Amalfi Coast has to offer. The view of the city was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. But just a warning, I feel the best time to go to Amalfi would be in late April early May. My friends and I went in early March and although it was warm, it wasn’t nearly warm enough to go lay on the beach!

Barcelona, Spain:

If you want a weekend of non-stop clubbing and barely any sleep, then go to Barcelona. It was by far one of the craziest weekends of my life. Barcelona is right by the ocean so during the day, take a bike ride or a walk on the boardwalk, it’s so much fun! Go see the the sagrada familia cathedral and gaudi park. During the night, go see an FC Barcelona game (So exciting!) and then go clubbing late at night! It is truly an amazing city with so many things to do.

London, Great Britain:

This was my 2^nd favorite city to visit (#1 city is  Paris, obviously!) London is most comparable to Paris. It is a huge city with lots to see and it helps enormously that everyone speaks English. The best things to see are Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, I especially enjoyed this one because I was obsessed with the Royal Wedding, and take a trip on the London Eye (Go around as the sun is setting, it is such an amazing site to see.) Everyone in London is so friendly and personable. The only downfall is that it is really expensive, but it most definitely worth it to visit!

Munich, Germany:

For anyone studying abroad during the Fall, go to Munich for Oktoberfest. For anyone studying abroad in the Spring, go to Munich for Springfest. Munich, by itself, is a beautiful city but seeing the locals at Springfest, and how they like to entertain and have a good time, made this trip 100x better. This was my last trip during my stay overseas and it was one of my favorites. Along with enjoying the festivities at either festival, make sure you grab a pretzel along the way!
