Today marks my one year anniversary in Europe. Happy anniversary to me!

And if you've felt my absence more than usual lately, it's because I deleted facebook. Maybe temporarily, maybe not. But in the meantime you can get a hold of me here: brianne.wills[at]yahoo.com

Near my apartment in Kiev, Ukraine. Where I am working on year two!

Tonight I'm moving to Ukraine! I will be staying with Chris for the summer in a small village, where they only turn the water on a few hours in the morning and a few hours at night, temperatures could reach 40°C, and almost no one speaks English. And I couldn't be more excited!

Farewell, Prague. I will miss you.

I spent the weekend with some lovely Czechs in the beautiful Czech mountains...Jizersky Hory. I was the only native English speaker, so I took it upon myself to teach them all bad English words. And in turn they gave me shots of whiskey.

In Kutna Hora there is a church that contains the bones of 40,000 humans. It was quite beautiful, actually. Minus the droves of tourists.

European Adventures: Prague from BriAnne Wills on Vimeo.

Chris came to visit me in Prague over the holidays and I couldn't have been happier. It's so nice to have someone familiar in a not-so-familiar place, especially during Christmas. We made another video montage so everyone can see how cute we are. We are pretty cute.

Christmas in Germany

2010-12-29T07:03:00.000-08:00

Chris and I went to Dresden for Christmas. European Christmas is on the 24th. We ate sausage and fried dough, we drank warm alcohol that was too strong, we rode the carousel, and then we ate some more. It started to rain, then snow, then it got too cold to be outside so we hid in a cute Irish pub and drank more alcohol until we could feel our toes again. I'd like to go back when the weather is warmer.

Prague in Winter

2010-12-21T04:47:00.000-08:00

I moved to Prague on November 13th. It's so beautiful here. It's like a real life fairytale, full of castles, swans and magic. I'm not sure how long I will live here, but I think I could stay forever if they let me.

Visiting Chris in Ukraine

2010-11-05T11:09:00.000-07:00

After 7 months we are reunited. Chris has been in Ukraine since March 28th. My trip was full of layovers, bad airplane food, no sleep, and a stomach full of butterflies. He met me at the airport and we stayed in Kiev for the weekend. This was my first European experience and I couldn't believe my eyes. Everything was so strange and beautiful. I spent the next two weeks at Chris' apartment in Artemovsk, about 2 hours from the Russian border. He showed me around his town, we drank beer, ate traditional Ukrainian meals, cooked borsch, played cards, visited his school, held hands, and loved every minute of it. If only I could have stayed forever. I would have been happy there with him.
