For this year’s family trip (we actually do a lot of family trips and I feel very lucky to have the opportunities to do this and to spend this type of time with my family, even when we fight and argue….a lot)…we went on a road trip! The trip lasted 7 days and we went […]
As you know, I just got back from a 3 week stay in Santiago, Chile and during that time, I was staying in an Airbnb. I am no Airbnb newbie, but this was my first long stay (more than 5 days) in one and there are certain items that I thought would have made my […]
HELLO FROM THE LAST DAY OF MY TRIP!!!! I am SO excited to be home and in 28 hours, I WILL BE! This trip has been emotionally and mentally difficult and I am so ready to be DONE! My roommate and I had to leave our Airbnb by 1 pm and we don’t need to […]
Hello, hello! Do you know what today isssssssssssssssss? It’s 5 days before I get to go home! We leave on Saturday and the thought of being home is very, very exciting. I guess it’s obvious that I still am not really enjoying Santiago very much. I still feel like a spoiled brat, but it’s just […]
Hello and Happy Monday to ya! This time next week, I will only have FIVE DAYS LEFT! And in two days, it will be the official hump of this long trip. If you can’t tell, I am still very much not loving Santiago. The program itself is fine, and the kids are great and I […]

Yesterday I had “off” in the morning, so I did some exploring […]

As I’ve mentioned in the last few posts, I am going to be heading to Santiago de Chile for a 3 week trip with a group of American students. The students are doing a cultural immersion program and learning all about entrepreneurship (actually, they are learning a very simplified version of what I learned all […]
Good day! I’m dropping in to share some photos from our relaxing getaway to Malaga two weekends ago! I have so many things I want to share, but every day that I wait to write, I get more and more into too-far-gone territory, so I am going to try to catch you all up […]
Hey there! Wow, it’s been quite some time since I’ve been on here because I’ve been doing a lot of traveling, then my parents were here and every day was full of tourist things, lots of menu del día and family time. It was the first time the whole family was together in a long […]
