This year, Forum-Nexus will be offering a weekend trip to the Belgian city of Bruges, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

It will be featuring artists such as Kate Nash, Iron and Wine and Cold War Kids. To learn more about the event and check out the full lineup you can go to: www.cactusfestival.be.

Barcelona, Spain = The kick off of Forum Nexus

Round 1 and 2…

My first time in Barcelona was last summer with FORUM-NEXUS study abroad during the semi-finals of the World Cup 2010. Words can’t describe or do justice to my experience in this city. Both summer and winter programs were kicked off in Barcelona…it’s the perfect city to begin an adventure! Highlights:  Singing the national anthem of the US in Spain on the 4th of July at Hard Rock Cafe in Barcelona, sipping wine at Codorniu Winery and partying at the W hotel by the beach!

I had the honor of being in Spain when they won semi finals. The streets of Barcelona were full of noise, happiness and pride! The heat of the summer didn’t slow down any celebrations! We stayed at Hotel Catalonia that is not far from Las ramblas, the IQS university and good food/bars!

My second time in Barcelona was this past December for the FORUM-NEXUS winter program right before new years 2011. Highlights: More of the Gaudi architecture, Tipidabo (church amusement park on top of a glorious mountain) and our visit to the port!

ROUND 1 : JULY  2010

Round 2: DEC 2010

I AMsterdam…Weekend Trip

Weekend Trip during Summer Session with Forum-Nexus:

After completing my last day of class in Paris it was finally the WEEKEND which means….WEEKEND TRIP TIME! I jumped on the first train out of Paris headed for Amsterdam to watch the World Cup finals. All party attractions aside…Amsterdam is by far one of the most user-friendly, hospitable and beautiful cities I’ve visited.

Highlights: Watching the chaos in the streets after Netherlands lost to Spain, laying out enjoying life with my friends giggling in the Zombie park (similar to central park in NY only during the summer locals dress up like zombies to joke with tourists) , the lifesize pancakes and the MUSEUMS (Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum and Sex Museum)

Round 1: JULY 2010: WORLD CUP FINALS  (Spain Vs. Netherlands)
