A bittersweet feeling lingers in the air, weighing down our bodies as we make our final trek back home. We are all undoubtedly eager to be able to sleep in late in our own beds, but it’s hard to believe we won’t be leaving bright and early the next morning to go explore another interesting… Read More The Journey Home

At 4:20 AM, all of the students had to wake up after a (hopefully) early night. We grabbed our plastic bags of free food for the trip and made our way to where this trip began: the airport. That’s also where we said a heartfelt goodbye to our tour guide, Octavian, whom we could rely… Read More Last Day: A Final Reflection

For most of us, the (very long) day started off too early and emotional. We had to get up and go to Vienna Airport at 4:30 in the morning where one of our tour guides, Octavian, said his good-byes and heartfelt words to us. Our first flight took us from Vienna, Austria to Amsterdam, Netherlands… Read More Day 14: Good-bye Europe, Hello Home!

Today we had a very early start, meeting in the lobby at 4:20am to make our 6:55 flight to Amsterdam. I am not much of a morning person, so I am never awake to see the sunrise. This morning, however, I got a chance to take some pictures as the sky outside Vienna turned various… Read More Journey Home

Today was our last day in Vienna and in Europe. Tomorrow we will make the journey home. We had a later start this morning, which was nice since our first flight is at 6:55 AM tomorrow. When we boarded the bus to head back into the city, Octavian, one of our tour directors, played Vienna… Read More Slow Down

Our last full day abroad was spent in Vienna. We started the day a little later than usual before we visited the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (The Museum of Fine Arts in Vienna). The museum has thousands of artifacts. Pottery, figurines, paintings, coins, jewelry, and even a couple of mummies are just a few of the… Read More Last Day in Vienna

Today was the last full day we had in Europe. We definitely ended the trip on a super good note. We got to sleep in later today than any other day, which was awesome. We went to the Vienna Art Museum to start the day. I’m not the biggest art guy, but the museum was… Read More Vienna waits for you

The day started with a stop in Hundertwasser Village which was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1991. Hundertwasser’s architectural style favored curved lines, bright tiles, and spontaneous vegetation. The first picture captures a glimpse of the Hundertwasserhaus, an apartment building that was completed in 1985. Each of the apartments are a different color with patches… Read More Vienna

Our first full day in Vienna started bright and early at 5am because someone set the fire alarm off. Needless to say, no one was happy about being up two hours before our alarms were set to go off. The first stop of the day was at the Hundertwasserhaus house in Vienna’s third district. It… Read More Day 12: Vienna

My May 31, 2019 was spent wondering throughout the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria and exploring all of its elegance. Today was one of the most eventful days of our trip so far, and I gained an immense amount of knowledge concerning the rich history of this renowned city. The first adventure I took part… Read More Day 2 in Vienna Kelly Lee
