Julie's Adventures Abroad

Welcome to my travel blog!

• Calm Before the Storm (of Classes)March 30, 2020
  Even though I’m not studying ‘abroad’ anymore, it doesn’t mean that I’m no longer studying. It also means you aren’t done reading about my life just yet. Muahahahaha Honestly, I have no idea where time has gone since I’ve been home. I know I’m not the only one out there feeling this way, but I’veContinue reading “Calm Before the Storm (of Classes)”
• HeartbrokenMarch 19, 2020
  With a heavy heart, I am writing this post as I am on my flight back home to the US. From the last time I posted until now, we all know that everything in the world has dramatically changed regarding COVID-19. I am truly and utterly sad that I am being forced to go homeContinue reading “Heartbroken”
• KulturMarch 7, 2020
  Okay, so I’ve been thinking long and hard as to what to talk about in this post, but I think I got it.

• Falling in LoveJanuary 21, 2020
  The first week here has been a lot: a lot of new faces, a lot of new places, but most importantly, a lot of love for this country. The first week was an adjustment, where I was still getting my bearings with trying to understand public transit that is in a different language. It wasn’tContinue reading “Falling in Love”
• First 36 HoursJanuary 12, 2020
  I arrived in Stockholm just over 36 hours ago, and my experience so far has been nothing but wonderful. When I arrived here after my overnight flight from the States, the sun was starting to rise and the colors were so rich in pinks and purples that I was standing there in awe because IContinue reading “First 36 Hours”
