In which I reveal scandalous details of my European travel plans


TOMORROW'S THE DAY.

At 11:35 am I fly across the pond and commence my month-and-a-half long European adventure full of charming mishaps and awkward attempts to speak other languages! For those of you who are planners like me, here’s the breakdown:

1)   Dusseldorf: where Andrew meets me at the airport and pretends I look pretty despite my 24 hours of airplane travel and no sleep.
2)   Amsterdam: where Andrew and I comfort Anne Frank about the whole Justin Bieber thing, comment on tulips, and race each other across picturesque bridges.
3)   Munich: where Andrew and I paint our faces for the UEFA Champions League Final (aka big freaking soccer game). Also, this:


4)   Rome/Tuscania: where I *supposedly take a Travel Writing course with *alleged API study abroad program for a month, and practice all the Italian I learned from this guy:


5)   Prague: where my mum meets me at her friend Beth’s apartment and we spend a few days flea marketing, cooking, and giggling.
6)   Krakow: where Mum and I touch base with our Jewish heritage/soak in a dungeon swimming pool.

 It all starts in about 24 hours! Stay tuned here for the latest.

*Last I checked, there was only one student in the facebook group for this API study abroad trip, and it was me, so I consider it very likely that no one will meet me at the Rome airport and I will end up living off pick-pocketed spaghetti like an Italian street urchin for a month.

**But how great of a story would that be??
