Europe Envy

By: Jillian Ryan (View Profile)

She will be staying with him for a week or so, hanging out in the recording studio and probably meeting a bunch of important individuals in the European music business. I won’t be a bit surprised to hear that when hanging out in a dangerously underground bar, she accidentally wrote a number one hit song on a napkin, and will now be representing Kosovo in the Eurovision Song Contest. I, on the other hand, have plans to download some new songs for my iPod, but since my computer has not been working that well lately, I may just have to settle for the radio.

A true testament to my belief that Europe holds more opportunity for excitement, culture, and fun than good-ol’ Brooklyn does, is that I actually cannot wait for Amanda to get home so I can hear even more details about her journey. Until then, I am traveling vicariously through her emails until my next trip abroad. (It will be a very dramatic and eventful trip and I will be sure to bring my laptop along to keep all my friends in the loop!)

my sentiments exactly...i can't wait for my next trip abroad, whenever that is, and until then, i'll enjoy europe and africa vicariously through friends who are working, traveling and vacationing abroad far more often than i am able.
