Now that I'm officially a grown-up with a salary, health insurance coverage and all hints of midterms and finals behind me, I really could go on vacation whenever I wanted. January ski trip, off to the beach in May, San Francisco in October... there's no calendar that dictates my adventures except my own.
But vacation gives me the kind of trampoline-back-flip-head-rush, the jump in my heart when I'm somewhere new and exciting, that I crave. And for some reason, it just feels right in the summer.
We started out our summertime adventures with a trip to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Vacation Recap - Eastern Europe by jlrey
I love Europe's "sneaker culture." Because everyone walks everywhere (and I mean just about everywhere), sneakers are the go-to shoe, and out of sheer necessity, they go with everything. As you can see by my pile of Nike gear, I embraced that concept fully.
As with every visit to an old European city, everything back home feels too shiny, bright and new for a few weeks. Give me some old architecture, 50-degree days and cobblestone streets. And my passport.
