June 19th I arrived in Florence around 5pm, quite hung over and sleep deprived from the previous night in Rimini. While checking out the fab hostel (complete with gym, sauna, pool, and rooftop terrace) I ran into Ben!! I met him at the hostel in Positano (my most favourite place so far, and everyone else’s […]
June 17th Arrived in Rimini at about 4 pm. Headed straight to the beach, which was not nearly as nice as Positano or Cinque Terre, but still a relief from the heat. Met a bunch of people who I partied with that night. One of the hostel bartenders was flambuoyantly gay and the night was […]
June 10th I arrived in Bassano Del Grappa at 9 pm, where Giorgia, Paolo, and Ornella were waiting for me at the station, camera poised and ready! What a great welcome. We went for dinner at a really tasty Asian restaurant and afterwards to a gelateria where I had the best gelato of my trip […]
June 7th – 7 pm Arrived at Hostel Brikette, which is perched at the top of Positano. Cosimo (the front desk guy) immediately offered to carry my bag up the stairs…I knew this would be an awesome place once I saw the view from the veranda. I immediately booked another night ;). I stayed in […]
June 5th I arrived in Rome at 8pm. Walked about 5 blocks to my hostel called “The Yellow”, and walked into what appeared to be a raging bar called the Yellow…nope, this was my hostel! Checked in, rented an iPad (for free!), showered and went downstairs to redeem my free drink tickets. Normally you just […]
June 2nd The day started at 4:45 am. Caught the bus from Grenoble to Montmelian, train from Montmelian to Modane, Modane to Milan, Milan to La Spezia, and La Spezia to Riomaggiore. When I arrived at the train station in Milan I knew I was officially in Italy when an Italian train official helped me […]
Megan and I took the train to Lyon a couple of weeks ago, and had our first experience with couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is a website that connects a network of travelling people, people with spare couches/bedrooms, and people looking to surf a couch. We got really lucky (probably due to my intense scrutiny online), and had […]
Let me just get right into it… The plane ride from Dublin was excruciating, we managed to pick a seat right behind a howling baby, and a few seats away from a toddler who just couldn’t get his ears to pop…shoot me now please was my thought process the entire flight. But we made it […]
Our journey began at 2:25 pm from the Grenoble train station. From here we took a bus for about an hour and a half to the Grenoble airport to catch our Ryan Air flight at 6 pm. As usual we were epically early… Luckily for us we boarded early and landed in Dublin ahead of […]
Well it has been about 2 weeks since we arrived back in Grenoble from Barcelona. We have done many cool and new things in our city….given that it has been nothing but blue skies here everyday! We’ve gone out to some parties with exchange students, been to many different local cafes and have discovered some […]
