The Great California Road Trip started with a bang and what better way to start something than with a trip to Vegas? Vegas is one of those places you have to see once in your life, so we booked flights and headed spent one day in Vegas, which was enough time to experience the casinos, […]
You’ve heard it before: “Europeans dress so much better than Americans…so much more….sophisticated”. Is it true? What exactly do Spaniards wear and what should you wear (and not wear) to make sure you fit in here and don’t get those awkward stares that Spaniards are not afraid to give you. In this post, I will talk […]
Hi Everyone! I kind of fell off the radar there because I have been on this trip through California (and Vegas), but there is a computer here in Santa Barbara so I thought I would say hello, yes I am alive, we have been having an AMAZING time on this trip and I am excited […]
Since last summer, I have had it in my head that I want to do a full-blown road trip across the West Coast of the USA (mostly California). I have done this trip a couple times in the past, but I wanted Luis to have the opportunity to experience the West Coast too. Last year, […]

As someone with naturally curly hair (see bottom of post), but someone that also treats their hair (I get ‘perms’ done to minimize the curly situation), and also as someone who spends a decent amount of time in the sun (running, walking, at the beach), I am no stranger to dry, brittle hair. Since I […]
Before moving to Spain to be an Auxiliar de Conversación, it’s hard to imagine what life will look like in the classroom. What will the job entail? What will your relationship be with the students? And the teacher? What will the day-to-day look like? Will you be planning lessons? There are so many questions and […]
Hey there! I’m a little sad that it’s already Monday, but that’s only because this weekend was quite good- the classic weekend in Madrid in August. It was the perfect blend of seeing friends, doing fun things, working out, and getting stuff done. As soon as this post gets published, I’m actually going to be […]
