introducing the c
The “c” is whatever you’re amazing and intricate mind wants it to be, but for now, it’s me. C for Carley. I’ve always been a writer, from documenting 2nd-grade road trips across the country to journaling my journey through a European summer. But as life tends to go, we get into habits and out of…

c the difference
How traveling has helped me “sea”. Last year I visited Tasmania, Australia. A beautiful island off the mainland. While there, I toured the state for two weeks- by car, boat and foot. It is full of amazing landscapes, history, people, and a feeling of safety. The island of Tasmania used to act as a settlement…

The Painting Of My Life
Design Thinking I’m good at virtually nothing when asked “what are you good at?” But given time to reflect before answering that question, I found I’m good at a variety of different things. I’m good at decorating my room, and then redecorating it all over again; I’m good at falling asleep at work or in…

Czech Republic
Prague in one day *Czech* After all the trains we have taken, we were due for one to break down. Fittingly enough, our train from Vienna to Pardubice, Czech that was supposed to be a quick 3 hour ride turned into about 5-6 hours due to exactly that. Hradec Králové Upon arrival, 3 hours later…

Switzerland
Where you will find the nicest people, and cheese. Belp Saturday evening Caitlin and I arrived in Belp, a little town between Bern and Interlaken, where our Airbnb was located. It was about a 15 minute walk from the train station which made all of our day trips possible. We loved our short stay here;…

Paris
I have officially taken my first sleeper train, and it was an experience to say the least. Our journey from Verona to Paris was 12 hours. Regardless of the interesting seating/sleeping arrangement- 6 bunks in one box– I was beyond happy to be in the city of love, to watch the sport I love. Day…

Italy
After less than 5 minutes in Italy (the time it took me to get out of the train station) I already knew I loved it. Caldiero Caitlin and I stayed in an Airbnb right outside of Verona, in the direction of Venice. The morning we arrived, we were greeted by arguably the best Airbnb hosts…

But with a little bit of positivity, a grain of salt, and some lime – it all works out jussst fine. Milan Anywho, stop #2 was supposed to be Verona, Italy but we first got to enjoy a night in Milan, Italy. Turns out…
