January 16 - 23, 2026 To kick off my exchange, I flew from Toronto (YYZ) to London, where I stayed with my aunt and her family for the week. London is an incredible city, but...
After a week in London, I headed to my home base for exchange, Maastricht. Honestly, I didn’t really know what to expect before moving to Maastricht, as I had never really heard...
I’ve been to Amsterdam a handful of times throughout my exchange so far. Unfortunately, I’ve been a little bit unlucky with the weather, and every time I go, it’s been so cold....
Jan 31 My first experience in Germany was small city about 45 minutes away from Maastricht called Aachen. We only did a day in this place and that is definitely all you need...
Feb 7 Bruges was somewhere I knew I had to visit after hearing so many great things about it online. I ended up doing a day trip with a couple of friends I met in Maastricht,...
Feb 18 - 23 Where do I even start with Paris? I feel like I had heard so many negative and positive things about the city in the past that I really had no idea what to expect. I...
Feb 26-28 Madrid surprised me the most out of any city I had visited in Europe. A truly special place that felt so much more hidden from tourism than other major cities across...
March 3-6 Lombardy was somewhere I had long wanted to visit, and I'm glad I went, but I'll probably leave it at that. Getting off the train and se
March 8-10 Very basic, but I visited Dublin for St. Patrick's day along with the thousands of other Canadian and American tourists. I was excited to visit Ireland for the first...
March 25 - 28 Skiing and partying in the beautiful French Alpes was something that if you told me last year I would be doing I would laugh at you. We only did two days in Alpe...
March 28 - April 2 It's called "Nice" for a reason, it's an amazing beach city on the French Riviera, and somewhere I told myself I could totally retire here. Will was kind enough...
March 29th We've all heard of Monaco, whether it's from the Formula One race, James Bond, or the obscene number of superyachts floating around t
March 31 I had never even really heard of Antibes prior to my Euro trip, but boy I am so happy that I got to see this place. A small, but truly picturesque Mediterranean ci
After Nice, I headed out to the south of Portugal to meet up with a group of friends. We rented a nice condo in a small city called Albufeira. This place was interesting to say...
We only had a day and a half to properly explore Lisbon, so I'll need to go back at some point to give it real justice. I was also pretty much deathly hungover the entire time I...
After the layover from hell overnight at the Barcelona Airport, we flew to meet up with a bunch of lads in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik was a really cool city, it's known worldwide for...
I don't have a lot to say about Split. By that point I was running on fumes, three weeks of moving around will do that to you. It's a fun party city with a solid old town, and the...
