A Collection of Thoughts on Various Cities

Posted on November 17, 2014

Roman Hiatus (October 9)

Posted on October 10, 2014

I like Rome. But Rome is a place. By this I mean that, like any other place, you notice flaws after a while. And suddenly a combination of little flaws (a rude cashier, public transportation …

Jetsettings: Paris

Posted on September 25, 2014

There’s a reason everybody visits Paris. It’s absolutely beautiful. I’m trying to think of the best way to write about Paris, and all my thoughts are jumbled. My two days in Paris were two days …

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” (September 7)

Posted on September 9, 2014

La Dolce Vita (August 31)

Posted on September 2, 2014

Four days in, I finally have a feel for Rome. I’ve wandered enough, gotten lost enough, gone on enough mandatory tours to know that most winding roads will lead to where-I-need-to-go in Rome. I find …

A Study Abroad Prelude: Slovenia (August 26)

Posted on September 2, 2014

Zivio readers! My time in Slovenia has come to an end, and so I have accumulated many Balkan adventures. I’ve tripped up the steps of four different castles (they were very old and very steep!). …
