EUROPE-video blog #5 (Karlovy Vary)
Trying to catch up on my old video blogs before I release my travel video from my latest trip!
I went to Karlovy Vary, CZ with a few NYU people during study abroad. It snowed most of the time I was there but this small town is gorgeous! In the summer, I believe in July, Karlovy Vary hosts a film festival that attracts people from all over Europe. Hopefully I can attend sometime.
