For whatever reason, I was excited to see Florence, but not as excited as I was for some of our other stops. Of course, I ending up loving it…or loving the things we did there….or a combination! Then again, I said I loved every city. But Florence blew me away in it’s size (or apparent size- […]
The second day, we were up before the sun came up to head to Venice! In one word: Italian Disney World. Ok, 3 words. VENICE Since Venice is complete tourism (really, I’ve heard its e m p t y at night) and the touristy part is on an island, it is quite expensive to stay […]
I seriously have no idea where to begin. How do you recap such an amazing trip in just a few posts, with just a few photos (when you have almost 2,000)? How do you put into the words the magic of Italy, of every city we visited? It’s close to impossible, but I’m going to […]
Making: this cous-cous salad. It’s so light for summer, but hefty enough to fill you up. Cooking: not much, but I have been making corn bread for the last week. Yogurt-corn bread to be exact. It’s so easy and so light! Drinking: iced tea. I make a couple cups of strongly spiced hot tea and then add more […]
Last week, I had the lovely opportunity to learn how to make Spanish tortilla from my former host mom. It has been something I have been really wanting to learn, so I was beyond excited when Rosy offered to help us make it! She came over Sunday afternoon and showed us step-by-step how to make […]
UPDATED AUGUST 20, 2019 Just another tedious thing you need to do when you are living in Spain and plan to go in and out of the country- you need to apply for an authorization to RETURN to Spain if you plan to leave when you don’t have a visa. What I mean is…if you […]
I have been in Spain for over 4 years (HOW?) and if there is anything I have learned about this country, is that they make you run in a lot of circles when you need to do anything involving the government. One of the biggest headaches of the year comes at the end, when you […]
Hi! I thought I would show you what my day looked like yesterday (Tuesday), which is quite standard on the auxiliar and teaching front. 7:55 // My alarm goes off, so I hop out of bed and snooze for another 9 minutes of sleep. 8:04 // I get up for real because I am supposed […]
Hi! Happy Tuesday, friends! How is it already June….and even crazier, how is it my last week of work?! I feel like this year just flew by and with all of my May trips (Israel and the USA), the end came quickly. Despite still having a few days of work left, the days feel like the […]
Planning any Multi-City European trip can be overwhelming- so much to organize! Flights, hotels, trains, buses, AirBnb, rent a car?, restaurants, hitting the major sites, AND MORE. But that’s one ball game. Planning a multi-city trip is a whooooole other beast. It can be totally intimidating, and before doing it myself last summer (to visit […]
