I love those friendships where no matter how much time passes or how much life happens in between, your friendship will pick up exactly where it left off. My DC friendships are like that for me. The year after we graduated from different universities, 7 friends moved to Washington D.C. for our first jobs. Our…
Dublin with Kat and Zach
I just wrote about fun adventures with Kathleen and Zach in Germany, and now I will briefly share about our weekend before Germany we spent in Dublin. Zach had never been to Europe, thus we wanted to plan as much as possible! They came to Amsterdam for the first night and then we all flew…
Black Forest Adventures
The black forest of Germany is filled with magical rivers and waterfalls amidst tall trees and picturesque towns nestled among cascading hills. After our trip, I understand why many fairy tales and children’s stories are set within the black forest: this region is extraordinary. On the first day, Kathleen, Zach, Bryan and I flew to…
A quick trip to Haarlem, NL with Clare
Gosh, I am so behind on blogging. To kick-off our summer of visitors, our fun-loving and adventurous friend, Clare Lundy, came to visit at the end of June. It was clear through all of our conversations pre-trip, Clare thrives in Europe. And this trip was no exception. Clare made her way to Amsterdam after…
Scotland on Par
I did not mention in my last blog post my cousin Brittany and Aunt Kim came to Amsterdam in May! We had a fantastic time being with them and enjoying wonderful dinners together. We worked while they explored Amsterdam during the days. After Amsterdam, they went off to London and Belgium! I wish they could…

Road Trip to Luxembourg!
Ashlyn and DJ (DJ now goes by David, but he went by DJ at Furman :)) booked their tickets to come see us right when we told them we were moving to Amsterdam. So, we looked forward to their visit for a year! Before they ventured to Amsterdam, Ashlyn and DJ visited Paris and…
Burgundy: Much more than the color
Baby Bennett’s arrival this June moved our trip with Robert and Suzanne up from October 2017 to several weeks ago. S & R are fellow foodies and wine aficionados; thus, Burgundy quickly became the natural choice for an adventure together. Robert, Suzanne and Bryan left early on Wednesday morning for Lyon, France. I met them after…
“Jaclorette” in the Canary Islands
Over the first weekend of March, we swapped snowflakes for sandcastles and jetted to the Canary Islands to celebrate Jacqueline’s upcoming nuptials. We were dying for some sun, and the Canary Islands delivered. If you told me before we moved to Amsterdam, that I would go to the Canary Islands for a new friend’s bachelorette…
Bonjour Paris <3
This post is long overdue, but I want to share a couple of memories from our January birthday trip to Paris ! We flew in on Saturday morning and left Sunday night, so it was a speedy trip! We stayed at an amazing hotel called, le Roch, and it blew us away in every way. Le…
