Election Day:Everyone's Favorite Day...

Note the sarcasm in the title.

Tonight's the night...the night babies will be made, drunken chaos, celebration and then there will be some fancy china glass breaking, fist pounding and screaming.

All bets are on the candidate in the lead...I'm not one for politics but I have a strong feeling towards this election. I won't say what party I'm affiliated with...but I'm happy with where the candidate stands so far.

Let the games begin and may the odds ever be in America's favor. I know I'll be anxiously waiting here in Prague!

Coffee House Posts

If any of you wanderlusters ever come to Prague, go to Mama's Coffee. Definitely some of the best "holy grails" of coffee, hands down and I have had coffee from all over the world...super cute and chic with a side of artsy. A majority of customers are English speakers and the staff speak both Czech and English. So relaxing to come here with friends or to work on school stuff or work stuff.

The one by Karlovo Namesti is my favorite; it's two stories and mostly windows, so you get a beautiful view of the city with an excellent cup of coffee, hot chocolate or tea.

Bliss in a cup, I like to call it.

Travel on wanderlusters, but remember to stop and the smell the coffee...then drink it!

College = Less Travel Time

Whoever said college was easy...wait...no one has ever said that. I find it astonishing how much work and things there are to do. As I always say "same ish, different day". Couldn't be more accurate.

The amount of work is preventing me from traveling which is absolutely no bueno, but break is coming soon which means tons of travel...fingers crossed. So far, Barcelona and Rome are on the list then it's back to school for second semester. Craziness.

Until my research papers are done and projects are presented, travel on wanderlusters...I know I am experiencing some severe wanderlust withdrawal.

Perth, Australia

Where I will be studying abroad in a year or year and a half! So unbelievably excited. While out with some friends for Halloween last night I met a guy who lives there and says it's an amazing place. I mean, come on, the city surrounded by a beach in AUSTRALIA. I don't think it gets much better than that and then being able to road-trip up to Sydney and Melbourne...

The Continent of Natural Beauty: South America

It's always been a dream of mine to go to South America; Rio de Janiero in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, the city of Santiago in Chile and Patagonia in Argentina. I'm hoping next fall (Fall 2013) I can make the trip to Rio de Janiero, Brazil and then the other places will have to come over the next few years. These places are definitely on my bucketlist. I mean gorgeous tan-skinned boys, beautiful beaches and mountains, great food and it's a new place to explore. Sounds like heaven on Earth. Take me there, I've been dreaming of you South America. Any South American readers? Tell me about your continent, I'm very interested!

Hurricane Sandy

I'm dedicating this blog to the recent storm, Hurricane Sandy. Even though I live in Prague at the moment, my home is the East Coast in America. Many of the places I have gone growing up and love, have been beyond destroyed. My family and most of my friends along the East Coast were in the areas who did not get so affected which I am so grateful for. I stayed up for two nights straight worrying about the storm and the next time I would hear from them. However, the beach my friends and I escape to for a week every summer, about 3 hours from my hometown, has been completely put underwater and the damage is unfathomable. It all breaks my heart. New York City, a city I love and will one day live in has gone completely black and is also destroyed beyond belief. I have some friends there that I have not yet heard from which worries me to no end. I feel so so sorry for those who lost everything to this vicious storm.

For those of you affected by the storm, stay strong and the sun will shine again. My heart goes out to you.
