Day Trips in Arizona

In living in Arizona, I've had the opportunity to visit a lot of amazing places around the state. Though I've written full posts about some of them, there were also several places that I couldn't write a full post on but still wanted to mention.

How to Spend a Weekend in Tucson, Arizona

When I started my college education in summer 2017 and moved to Tucson, I knew very little about this amazing city. I had been here twice - once for a campus tour and once for registration. On both of those trips, I only visited the university campus and had no idea what else was around… Continue reading How to Spend a Weekend in Tucson, Arizona

One Day Around Berkeley Springs, WV

Despite living in West Virginia for most of my life, I had never actually visited the state's Eastern Panhandle until summer 2020. Our day around the Berkeley Springs area was actually part of a longer road trip; I was taking an exam in Martinsburg, which is close by, and we were visiting family friends in… Continue reading One Day Around Berkeley Springs, WV

Consequently, it took me a… Continue reading A Taste of Hershey, Pennsylvania

One Day in Avignon, France

Of all the places I wanted to visit in France, Avignon was near the top of the list. This little Provençal town (also mentioned in my post about day trips in Provence) is, of course, beautiful to walk though, but it's also home to the Palais des Papes (Papal Palace) and the famous Pont d'Avignon… Continue reading One Day in Avignon, France

A Guide to Orvieto, Italy

My study abroad program in Italy was absolutely amazing, but one of the best parts of the trip was my home-base town of Orvieto. While there, I wrote a short blog about a typical day in Orvieto for me, and while this post will have some similarities, it's also more of a guide to what… Continue reading A Guide to Orvieto, Italy
