Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I am currently in Türkiye to begin my spring break! I am in Cappadocia, which is known for sunrise hot air balloons and underground cities. Unfortunately, because of the rain, my balloon ride was cancelled. The underground city was amazing and goes down about 180 feet. Our guide told us that at its peak, about 4000 people fit.

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

Türkiye is the furthest, but I have also been to Cyprus, Romania, Ireland and London so far!

How did I get around this week?:

Paris is a very small city compared to other European cities, such as Rome, and it has an incredibly well-connected metro system. This makes it easy to get anywhere you want within 30 minutes.

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

I went to Napoleon's grave site this week, where I learned about just how large an impact he had on Europe during his rule and how much has carried over into modern-day global politics. He spread revolutionary ideals that were developed during the French Revolution, such as equality and the rejection of social hierarchy, all throughout Europe.

Other Travel News from this week:

Next week I will be traveling to Egypt to see the Pyramids of Giza, and then spending a week in Sicily, Italy.
