London: she calls you back
Jordan In the 3 years since our 2022 EuroMission, I’ve had considerable time to reflect on everything that went very well… and everything that could have used a little reworking. Really, logistics aside, the only aspect that needed major adjustment was my attitude. Throughout a packed life season in Boston, full of North Eastern adventures and new experiences and evolution, two things were percolating in … Continue reading London: she calls you back
To funiculi or not to funiculi, is that even a question?
June 1st – June 4th, 2022 Get in the mood for mountains and lakes, we’re taking this final post to epic heights via funicular! Was most of this traveling conducted in German Switzerland? Yes. But should you listen to Luciano Pavarotti first before reading the rest of the post? Also yes. After their brief time in Hamburg, the Udgang spent the final few days on … Continue reading To funiculi or not to funiculi, is that even a question?
Hamburg(er)? I barely know her!
May 31st – June 1st, 2022 Given the amount of content on this website, it seems appropriate that we now diversify post type and content. It’s time to do an interest piece, and for this special edition, we’re talking about TRAINS. Little bitty trains. And planes. And more! Apparently, the quotidien of the average Hamburg(er? ian?) is a little lacking in pizzaz, so it’s good … Continue reading Hamburg(er)? I barely know her!
Hej! We’re the Udgang!
May 29th – May 31st, 2022 Once upon a time, there was some discussion amongst the Pecks that we would try to stretch the two weeks of our trip into three phases: UK, Scandinavia, and individual adventures. As you can tell from the details of other posts, such an itinerary would have been disastrous. A friend of Jordan’s noted that the Pecks had “fit my … Continue reading Hej! We’re the Udgang!
Just like Budapest, eh, Clint?
June 1 – June 4, 2022 As we rolled into Budapest Central Station and transferred to a bus, Google Maps was telling us we needed to get off at the bridge and transfer to another bus. Little did we know, the bus stop just happened to be the most scenic stop of all time. The sunset looked like fire glowing behind the Buda Castle (Budavári … Continue reading Just like Budapest, eh, Clint?
I’m Austrian and I’m better than you.
May 31 – June 1, 2022 Okay, now we have to air some grievances. Firstly, let us say that we had no issue with the artsy quirky charms of Vienna mixed with stunning historic architecture. We had no problem with the efficient public transportation or fun free events available to all. But… we have major beef with the Viennese people. Something happened to them since … Continue reading I’m Austrian and I’m better than you.
Wait, which way to Pražský hrad?
May 29 – May 31, 2022 An interesting (but I won’t say unlikely, because no one was surprised) pairing emerged for the second week of travels: Jordan and Sam! One a fresh college grad, the other a fresh high school grad, just some independent girlies looking to have a good time. We decided the best way to accomplish this and look appropriately cool in the … Continue reading Wait, which way to Pražský hrad?
