Los Angeles (again!)
Ah, the Angeles of the Los. What a place. Especially in February when you live in Ohio and are studying for the bar exam. My entanglement with this pretty city has been well documented on this particular stretch of internet, and our long-distance love affair will probably continue in perpetuity. My brother is living and…

Munich
Typically law graduates wait until after they take the bar exam to take a bar trip, but when you’ve got a chance to hop a plane to Bayern for a week to watch the world championships of Bavarian folk dance, you make an exception. Jakob and I spent a week in the Allgaeu region of…

Israel (round two)
Nothing like some good international travel to gain some perspective, am I right? The more places I go, the more I like to come back rather than go somewhere new, because every time I revisit somewhere, I find something I hadn’t seen before. This trip back to Israel was just like that. Being able to…

New York at Christmas
The new year is here, and accordingly things have been insane in the great city of Chicago. School is back, the Law School Musical is in full swing, rowing is trucking along, and I’m competing in the Miss Chicago/Miss Windy City pageant in exactly seven days (!!!). Rewind, though, to just before Christmas, when I…

Georgia (Callaway Gardens)
The only thing I love more than traveling is traveling for cheap, so when I was endlessly pestered by my good friend to apply for our law school trip to Israel last year with the promise that all I’d pay for is my flight, travel insurance, and $150 program fee, I was so down. That…

Israel
If there’s anywhere in the world I thought I’d never, ever go, it’s probably the Middle East. Don’t get me wrong, I love experiencing different things, but I’ve always had this apprehension of the Middle East being so far different from anything I’ve ever experienced that I just wouldn’t be able to enjoy my time…

San Antonio
Man oh man. I didn’t think I’d have a post about good ol’ San Antone on this thing, well, ever. I went to high school in San Antonio, and my family lived there until my junior year of high school. It is the place of my most vivid and some of my fondest memories. It…

Cambridge (Head of the Charles)
I visited my parents for fall break this year and coincidentally crossed over with Head of the Charles, one of the largest and most prestigious rowing races in the world. Absolutely beautiful. Boston’s growing on me.

Budapest
I just got home from spending two weeks in northern Hungary, and what a life-changing experience it was. We stayed in a German boarding school in Pilisvöröswar for a world meeting of the Donauschwaben people and traveled to surrounding villages (with a day trip to Budapest) for performances, mock weddings, and cultural stuff. It was…

Boston
AAU Nationals has come and gone over the Fourth of July week, and I’m all moved into a new apartment in Chicago. The month of July was the one I’ve been waiting for all summer, because I’m literally criss-crossing the United States right now. I flew from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale for nationals, Fort Lauderdale…

San Francisco
Someone once told me that I struck them as a NorCal girl, with my hippie hair and penchant for elephant pants. I’d never been to NorCal, but I was determined to find out if she was right. Over the winter I had the opportunity to check out a different part of California than my soul…
