AN UNHELPFUL TRAVEL GUIDE TO PRAGUE

by Rachel En Route March 17, 2017 No Comments

Let’s get right into it, shall we? I had a terrible time in Prague. I suffered a breakup, which drove me to lie in bed watching Netflix, instead of exploring the Czech capital. I regret my inability to get off my ass, but tough times call for New Girl re-runs. As it turns out, I almost didn’t incorporate Prague into my blog at all. I figured I had nothing to offer my readers, I took very few photos, and I held a bitter taste in my mouth reminiscing on my time spent there. And yet, here we are. And here is an unhelpful travel guide to Prague.

You’re welcome.

THE PRICE OF POLAND: EUROPE’S CHEAPEST TRAVEL DESTINATION

by Rachel En Route March 3, 2017 3 Comments

When it came to planning my year of jet setting around the globe, my destination list had various requirements. For example, France and Italy were shoe in’s given I had never visited before {so, duh}. Croatia made the list per my travel companion’s request, but ended up being one of the most beautiful destinations ever documented on this blog.

Therefore, cost was a huge factor in the planning process. Continue Reading

Recollections En Route: I Left My Heart in Berlin

by Rachel En Route February 27, 2017 No Comments

I was very surprised by how quickly I fell in love with Berlin last year. Germany, in general, has made it in to my top three travel destinations OF ALL TIME. Unlike London, another city that stole my heart immediately, Berlin didn’t have a fancy parliament building or colorful streets to showcase its charm. Belin was rough. It was honestly one of the least aesthetically pleasing cities I’ve visited.

And maybe that sounds cruel.

But the fact that Berlin was less than visually appealing had no effect on my love for the city. In fact, I love Berlin even more because of this. We are talking unconditional love here people. Continue Reading

I survived my first east coast snow storm! I did it, I did it!

You know you are that {California} girl when you have co-workers calling your desk, from their desk, inches away, asking if they can help {in any way} prepare me for the storm ahead.
