Bruxelles, Belgium:
We had no classes on Friday, so Lauren and I decided to make the most of our long weekend and visit the land of waffles, chocolate and beer! Boy, did this place surpass my expectations. I honestly did not know much about the city before I went, but we spent our days just exploring the streets and wandering into the cutest hole-in-the-walls, and our nights were spent with new friends at cool bars. Highlights? A cozy bar in the back of a cobblestoned corridor, with stained glass windows and (literally) the best beer in the world.... and also an old bookstore that had a spiral staircase leading to an underground room with vintage French cookbooks.
London, UK:
I will remember this adventure for the rest of my life. Between the overnight bus ride (for only 30 euros, roundtrip!), literally seeing every single inch of the city, navigating the tube, singing through the streets, and then getting stuck in Paris... I was in awe of London every second I was there, and exhausted for the next week! And the weekend was made perfect because of my company: three Spanish and two Germans who have become some of my best friends in Reims.
