"What Berlin did lack, however, was the pretence created by the overuse of a cityscape by Hollywood filmmakers! Berlin did what Berlin wanted, and it couldn’t care less what America or the world had to say about it."

"Having heard magical stories about Scotland’s famed Isle of Skye, I knew it was high on my priority list of places to see while studying abroad here in St Andrews. I was able to visit Skye a few weeks ago with a friend, though we specifically visited Sligachan and the Fairy Pools."

"The average American only travels within US borders. Some articles cite that more than half of the US population has never left the United States. While there are many reasons for this, including financial ability, the vacation (or ‘holiday’) differs from that enjoyed by Europeans, who tend to travel to warmer climates or to experience other cultures. In the US, on the contrary, the domestic road trip is a historic staple."

"What I loved most about the Old Town was how limestone-paved streets and live jazz would welcome you round every corner. Dubrovnik is an authentic place unlike any other, and I believe that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime."

"The Vatican has always entranced and interested me. Having grown up in a non-religious household, I felt a strong desire to understand the connection people had with this holy place. It wasn’t until years later (this summer, to be exact) that I had the opportunity to experience the Vatican first hand. Just as the Roman sun broke through the romantic morning haze, I entered into the Papal state, cautious and curious."

"The atmosphere within Luang Prabang differs to anywhere we've visited so far; it's quiet, relaxed, and the people - locals or otherwise - are lovely. Luang Prabang, in Laos, is minuscule in terms of its land mass, thus matching Laos’s relatively small size. It was a place beyond refreshing after several weeks of big cities, swarming with beeping horns and overcrowded subway stations."

"Solo travel. It’s the dream of many students seeking adventure and the nightmare of their parents who are oceans away, worried if their son or daughter is going to survive the experience. During Spring Break I decided that the dream outweighed by parent’s potential nightmares."

"The coexistence of the old and the new is perhaps the most unique characteristic of the city of Berlin. Elegant and grand, neo-classical forms stand resolute amidst a multitude of modernist structures and the array of skyscrapers. This juxtaposition is, however, far from discordant."

"A five-day winter trip to Venecia, with a day trip in the nearby Padua! Four girls, Ellen Devine, Ellen Mackenzie, Mercedes Weidmer and Violet Chaudoir - and plenty of pasta! Many churches were visited, but the jewel on the tourist crown was the Doge's Palace and its unforgettable ceiling (1:30)."

"In the Summer of 2015 I found myself travelling Europe in an attempt to broaden my narrow visions of the world, aiming to embrace a culture and people dissimilar to my own. The August saw our journey extend to the beautiful and enthralling city of Vienna, a place, not only aesthetically a feat to behold, but also with a tangible vibrancy for life."

"Morocco is a beautiful country to visit. It’s a bit of a culture shock, but in a fun and exciting way. It’s extremely photogenic, even if you don’t know how to work a camera, like me. I’m more than glad I was given the opportunity to visit someplace like this."

"In India, I found the mundane to be as beautiful as the gilded temples and expansive forts. I was as excited to photograph a pile of roadside cauliflower as an inlaid marble tomb."

"Ålesund bears very little about what makes Norway so appealing to its visitors. Disappointingly, it possesses no traditional stave churches found in South Norway, few wooden huts and hardly any ‘byggeskikk’ style houses. Yes, the town does bear the vibrant colours often associated with Scandinavian architecture but in a way few tend to think of as ‘Norwegian’."

"We arrived in Chiangmai in northern Thailand yesterday afternoon. We flew with Lao airlines from Luang Prabang, and the flight took only an hour whereas on land the journey takes over a day, so I’d really recommend it."

"In the beautiful city of Amsterdam, culture and colour is bursting from its seams. Last Summer, I found myself exploring this city, coming to terms with the bustle and abruptness of the Red Light District and comparing this with its inviting and serene outskirts."
