Como

Last week I traveled to Como to visit a textile factory for school.  It was very interesting to see all of the fabrics, prints and dying processes used to create the luxury fabrics.

Munich, Germany

Back in the end of September I went to Munich for the weekend to celebrate Oktoberfest.  I had a blast the whole weekend, the vibe was amazing and I only can hope I get to go back one day.  I went on a bike tour of Munich and really got to see the city for what it is.  On my last day in Germany I went to the Dachau concentration camp, it was very moving and eye opening.

Venice

Yesterday I went on a day trip to Venice, Italy.  It was so enjoyable, my favorite part was the gondola ride!
