One Ending and Another Beginning

People talk about senioritis at the end of high school as a lack of motivation due to collegiate-acceptance goals already being achieved. There’s no sense in killing yourself for a 4.0 when you’re already decided where you’re heading for college. For me, entering my fourth year of University, … More »

Dinner at Mikki’s and a Swiss-Guard Induction Ceremony

Posted by Andy Steves on September 15, 2010.

I knew I had to go back to Miscellania, the rustic little restaurant that became our student hangout, have dinner, and see its crazy owner, Mikki, one more time this semester before it was over. I saved my last meal at Mikki’s for the last Sunday in Rome.

I met up with a friend and his … More »

Savoring Our Last Days in Rome: A Thoughtful Walk and a Progressive Dinner

Happy Backpackers

I definitely have WSA to thank for my exceptional experience in Amsterdam. One would think 4 days isn't enough to tour a city but WSA facilitated an optimum weekend full of sightseeing and fun. Amsterdam may have a notorious reputation for its lax drug and sex culture but there’s so much more to the city. Luckily, our tour guide, Arthur, native to the Netherlands, steered us away from the tourist traps and showed us around his beloved city, highlighting all of its gems. I'd definitely like to try other WSA trips in the future. It's hassle free traveling with an awesome itinerary - nice that the tour guides are flexible with the schedule and willing to cater the itinerary to the group's interest! Highly recommend WSA to any student with only a weekend to see a city.
