Kotor, Montenegro

Wine tasting in Croatia

European love.

I’m in Europe for 20 days! I’m taking a maymester trip with Belmont University featuring the best of the Balkans. We left Nashville yesterday and flew into JFK in New York. We then proceeded to take a red eye from JFK to Prague and arrived this morning at 10…3 am Nashville time, and I thought it was funny cuz people were still tweeting their late night adventures.

We met our tour guide leading the trip after getting our luggage and adventured off to get our bus and head out to Salzburg.

It was loooong drive and we were so tired…but we have arrived and about to partake in authentic Austrian meal of pork, potatoes, something else I don’t know and red wine.

When I find wifi I’ll be able to update on my adventures.

Xoxo

Why Spending Money on Others Promotes Your Happiness

Research suggests that many people think that spending money on themselves will make them happier than spending it on other people (Dunn et al., 2008). But there is evidence from various different studies that, on average, this isn’t true: Participants who were given$5 or $20 to spend on another person were happier than those who spent it on themselves (Dunn et al., 2008). People who spend greater proportions of their income on giving to others or to charity are happier than those who spend it on themselves (Dunn et al., 2008). Canadian and Ugandan students who thought back to times they’d been generous to others were happier than those thinking back to money they’d spent on themselves (Aknin et al., 2010). And we haven’t even taken into account how happy it makes the recipient.
