Peru

We made it!! From Boston to Florida to Lima to Cusco we are finally situated. Cusco is a city surrounded by mountains and topped with red roofs. It's old charm still lurks around every corner and staggering staircase. The altitude reminds you, not by your own choice, to take in the beauty all around the city (usually while panting and holding onto ANY clay structure in arms length) 

It is amazing to be back with Allie and Emily, the people who helped spark and share my love for adventure and travel. 

New Orleans, LA, USA

Here we are on another adventure in Nee Orleans for Mardi Gras! Maddie, Allie, and I drove down from Charleston for our spring break. Our hostel is awesome and right next to a trolley for easy access to the French quarter. We went out yesterday and saw a couple of parades, watched street performers, ate king cake, drank a hand grenade, ate beignets, and po boys. Life is good!

Bracelet

To put my coins to good use I made a bracelet out of them. I love it and it reminds me of all the amazing places I have been and the people I have met. 

Miss SAS everyday

Going home

As I write this I am sitting in the Frankfurt international airport. It is an unreal feeling going home. I am so happy to see my family, friends, and familiar surrounding again. At the same time I know I am going to miss traveling and going wherever the wind takes me. I have had the most amazing five months of my life. I cannot thank my parents enough for the opportunity they gave me. I am so lucky. These experiences will change and shape my life forever and I know that everyone will be sick of hearing my stories eventually! But right now I can't wait to get on this ten hour flight and touch down in good old Boston, USA!!

Munich, Germany

Oldest church in Munich 

Two towers on church, not destroyed during the war because the pilots used them as reference points

Beer hall!!!

Salzburg

Court and I decided to take a stop in Salzburg, Austria for a day. Court was very excited to do the sound of music tour so we hopped over the Salzburg and warmed up our vocal cords. 

Our hostel showed the sound of music movie every night at 7 so we settled down and watched it our night before the  tour. The next morning we arrived at the bus and began the tour. We went to many of the locations major scenes took place. We saw the gazebo that "16 going on 17" is sung, the house, where Maria and the kids fall into the lake, the church Maria and the captain are married in, and many of the mountain scenes. It was so neat to see these places in real life. The town and surrounding parts of Salzburg and breathtaking. It was such a fun stop for a day!
