touch down in Iceland

This morning we took off from Frankfurt and were on our way to the Island in the middle of the ocean. It was quite interesting landing because you couldn’t see anything but rock (no trees!).

We finally got all checked into our hotel and headed out into Reykjavik to look around and have some dinner.

We ended the day with a little walk to explore the shoreline. It’s funny because in these pictures it kind of looks like the sun is setting but we’re so far north it basically stays light 24 hours. Like currently it’s 11 pm here and it’s as bright as day outside. Kind of throwing me off tho…like it just doesn’t really feel like it’s time to go to bed ahah .

Quick stopover in Frankfurt

Today my grandma and I are heading over to Iceland! Before we left I came to Frankfurt to see her and so that we could travel together. We had a chill time form when I arrived and just prepared for our trip, did some chatting obviously (because if you know me then you know I can’t stop taking haha).

Later in the evening we went for a nice dinner at a new restaurant called Casa Nova. We both had some simple pasta Arrabbiata with fresh homemade bread. It was quite a funny dinner because someone spilled Limoncello all over herself….but with a full stomach we went back home and jumped into bead to make sure we weren’t tired for our travels tomorrow haha.

weekend trip to the farmlands

The title might say farmlands but we did include a little city into this weekend trip to make sure we had some civilization at some point haha. Last weekend consisted of a long train ride all across the country to a little section of the Netherlands surrounded by Belgium and Germany. It was a good little getaway before the official start of studying for exam season ugh

We went with our study association and stayed in the little house in the back. We were surrounded by fields EVERYWHERE and if u wanted to take the bus into the little village we were staying at you still had to walk 20 min…

sushi making

Sushi is by far one of my fav foods except its always soooo expensive so I decided to cook for once and actually try to make it myself. Surprisingly it actually turned out well and now I have a huge batch of sushi I can eat for the next few days.
