Hostelworld is a must if you're planning weekend travel. Remember to stay in hostels with a group of other people, bring luggage locks and always a copy of your passport, even if you're staying in the country! I visited Munich with a group of 10 and Florence with just my roommate. Weekend trips are great for when you get out of class Friday afternoon until you need to be back in Freiburg Sunday night. It's just enough time to see a new city and relax a bit. Airports in Basel, Zurich, and Frankfurt and a bus/train station downtown in Freiburg make traveling anywhere you want to go a breeze! So plan early and take advantage of the few free moments you have!

<p><strong>2014-15 Blogger of the Year</strong></p>
<p>Hello! I'm Kimberly Webber, an International Business Leadership major at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, off roaming around Freiburg and surrounding areas for the semester! My biggest values are happiness and genuine relationships so I can usually be found in a campus cafe, socializing while pretending to do homework; at work, socializing; or hanging out in my sorority house, socializing! In my off-hours I'm a portrait photographer where my greatest accomplishments include catching my subjects off-guard and eliciting a genuine smile or laugh. I look forward to documenting my experiences abroad and hope you enjoy all the photos and videos you see here!</p>
