Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I visited Paris for the first time this weekend. I traveled with a student group that organizes these type of trips. I went with another friend who was visiting the city for the first time and we moved quickly for the two days we had to see as many monuments and museums as possible. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

The farthest I have traveled from Leuven is London, United Kingdom. It was my first trip to the city and I was amazed by its size and all the people living there. I enjoyed visiting free museums and having new experiences.

How did I get around this week?:

Mostly walking with intervals of cycling. If there is bad weather I will occassionally take a bus, however the streets are difficult for cars to navigate so it takes longer to drive than cycle/walk most of the time.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Paris, France. My favorite museum was Musee d'Orsay, largely because my favorite artists are post-impressionists and Vincent Van Gogh. The placement of the museum inside of a train station was beautiful.

Other Travel News from this week:

This Friday I will be visiting Eupen, which is in the German-speaking region of Belgium. They have their own Parliament for their region of about 40,000 inhabitants.
