Hiking the Nietzsche Path to Eze Village
Just to the east of Nice, there is a pair of towns called Eze. Eze Sur Mer is located right on the sea, as its name suggests, and Eze Village is set high in the hills, about 450 meters above sea level. The two are linked by the Nietzsche Path, so named because of a…
A Year Abroad: Reflections
Before our time abroad, a year overseas was just a wisp of a thought in my mind. To be honest, the only time I’d considered living in another country was when I did research for about 3 days in college when I thought it’d be really cool to study abroad for a semester in South…
That Time I Went Paragliding
For my birthday this spring, Erin bought two gift certificates to go paragliding just outside of Freiburg. To comprehend the enormity of the fact that she bought two, you have to understand – Erin is very afraid of heights. Like, legs hurt when near the edge of a balcony afraid. But she loves me enough to…
Auf Wiedersehen, Deutschland!
In the flurry of activity over the last few weeks, we haven’t written very much on our blog. I just wanted to give you a quick update on what’s going on around here. For those of you who don’t yet know, Brian and I have officially (and sadly) moved out of Freiburg. We spent an…

Being in Germany during the majority of the tournament (save for the first 2 group stage games when we were in Belize) has been so much fun! We’ve been to biergartens, bars, public viewings, and even watched a game at…

Whimsical Freiburg
Having lived in Freiburg for nearly a year, I’ve noticed some strange things in and around the city. These quirks are what give Freiburg its character and uniqueness, and I think if you could ask the people here, you’d find that far from wanting to tone it down where strangeness is concerned, Freiburgers are quite proud of it.…
Climbing Caracol
One of my favorite day trips from San Ignacio was to the Mayan ruins of Caracol, an archaeological site located in the Cayo District of Belize. Caracol means “snail shell,” which represents the access road to the area. Yes, it was exactly what it sounds like – nearly 3 hours of unpaved (save for the…
