Hello, hello! Sorry for disappearing on you like that for the last couple of days. My weekend was very low key (literally VipKid, the gym, long walks, and my bed, so yes, I am retired), so I felt that there was nothing to write about. On Tuesday, I was actually in New York, working on […]
The Great California Road Trip: Carmel, Big Sur, and Santa Barbara
Hello, hello! I’m back again to give a recap of our time in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Santa Barbara. I have less photos to share from these cities, but only because it was the second half of our trip and I tend to lose my drive to click, click, click away. Either way, I enjoy sharing recaps […]

3 Things You Should Immediately Do When You Move to Madrid
Moving to Madrid is stressful, there really is no other way to put it. It’s a crazy, lively city, there are lots of options for things to do, places to eat, where to live, and more, but it can also be so overwhelming, especially in those first few days (and if we’re being honest, weeks). I remember when […]
The Great California Road Trip: Yosemite and Mariposa Grove
Visiting Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove were, without a doubt, the best parts of the entire California Road Trip. There are some incredibly beautiful towns and cities along the California coast, with some things you just don’t see in other countries (like Vegas!), but nothing beats the majesty and grandness of Yosemite and how breathtaking […]
So You’re Going to be an Auxiliar de Conversaci贸n in Madrid: All About Gyms in Madrid
In the last 3 years here in Madrid, I have belonged to 2 different gyms, but have visited multiple gyms and have compared what various gyms have to offer. I’ve been somewhat of a gym rat my whole life, so I knew that I wanted to find a gym here so I could keep up […]
The More Obvious Spain Packing List
I have already written a post about the less obvious things you should pack when moving to Spain, but as my brother is getting ready to move to Spain himself and asked me what normal things he should be taking, it occurred to me that maybe I should share a post with more obvious things you […]
The Non-Obvious Auxiliar de Conversaci贸n Packing List (also, What Not to Bring)
So here you are, getting ready to pack up your life and move to another country as an Auxiliar de Conversaci贸n. You’re packing clothes for winter, summer, spring and fall, as well as tokens of home that make you comfortable. I remember when I started packing to come to Spain, I used the Auxiliar de […]
