I’ll be home soon, actually. That’s kind of weird to think about. I’ve been all over the place, through at least seven countries so far, (If I’m remembering to count them all) and I’ve seen so much. Many places I’ve visited have been starkly different.
Some places were quite beautiful. Others were so damaged during WWII [...]
I went to Denmark in search of our family’s Danish roots. That meant hoofing it to the tiny town of Daugård, Denmark. I didn’t know what I’d find there, or even if I would find public transportation to get me there, but I set out to find whatever the place had to offer. (I did [...]
I’ve got a great WiFi connection here in Cologne (where I’m sleeping over before heading to Denmark tomorrow) so I’m taking this chance to do some web work, do some laundry (Yes, mom, I’m actually doing laundry. I won’t have to throw away all my clothes when I get back after all…), and generally get [...]
So, Jeff and I made this video while we were in Paris, and it actually has very little to do with Paris, but it was fun nonetheless. It took me forever to get it uploaded, sorry it took so long…but here it is. Warning: This may feature European dress in one part. You’ll know what [...]

As I write this , I’m cruisin’ through The Netherlands and Belgium on my way back to Paris, which I left yesterday morning, by the way, to catch a train to Cherbourg, a seaport. In Cherbourg, I’m hopping on a ferryboat that will take me to the Emerald-Wonderland of Guiness, Ireland. I’m stoked [...]
Hi Everybody,
I just thought I’d shoot up a little video update at the start of my three week journey around Europa. Sorry it’s rough, but I catch a train in about 15 mins. I’m off to Paris. Ciao!

I went to Berlin this weekend. It was a long weekend, as Germany had Monday off for a public holiday, so Matt and I took off Saturday morning and headed Northeast. It was about a 6 hour train ride, but it didn’t seem too bad at all. First off, we were in [...]
May 28th was my birthday. I am unsure how I feel about turning 22. First, I fully realize that I am no longer a college student, and that I must enter the ranks of working adults. That saddens me. (No offense, parents, family, and others…:) ) On the other hand, I [...]
This first full week was an eventful one, so you’ll have to keep up. Starting where I left off…on Wednesday…
Wednesday we went out to a club, as Thursday was a national holiday here in Germany. We went to a place named TONSTUDIO. It was pretty darn sweet, as Matt and I had never been to [...]
I don’t spreche Deutsch. Not even a little. That’s what I found out today in my first German class. We spent 3 hours going over even the easiest of German phrases, My name is…, I come from… in…, I speak…, My hobbies are… Even after all that, I couldn’t remember one thing when my host [...]
