The Last Pieces of 2015

It’s been one month since I’ve been back from my perfect, parka-worthy adventure and I’m still day dreaming. Shopping in Milan, Christmas in Tirano, skiing in the Alps, festivities with new friends in Freiburg, day-tripping to Strausbourg, fairytale explorations in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and New Year’s in Berlin. Who knew I was such a lush? Don’t answer that. It really was the most magical vacation, and I'll be going back soon. Maybe for a while longer next time...
