I love trying new recipes and making something a little extra “special” on Friday nights. Something a little better than my usual kale with tuna and hot sauce concoction. This weekend, I was in the mood for Asian flavors- soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame, and did a quick search for Sesame-Garlic chicken. The results were […]
There are so many awesome things about Spain (and many… not awesome things) that sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking: this place is awesome and this and this and this and THIS is why. So now, I keep a list in my phone to remind me of the things that make Spain and incredible country to […]
Goooooooooooooood morning and happy Monday! How was the Super Bowl? Any good parties? Good dips? Crunchy chips?? Add: “The Super Bowl parties” to the list of things I sometimes miss about the U.S. I don’t miss the game itself, but I miss the excitement… and the 7-layer taco dip. Super Bowl or no Super Bowl, […]
Ooooof, this month was a scary one in terms of spending. The good news is that most of it was on current and future travel plans. The bad news is that I still spent a *#$@ ton of money. But somehow my bank account isn’t completely empty, so let’s go with that. For memory’s sake, […]
Happy weekend, ya’ll! I don’t know about you, but this week has felt l-o-n-g to me, but of course as I am writing this, it’s Friday night already, which means Thursday is done, Friday is done, and there are ONLY TWO MORE DAYS AHHHHH slow down weekend! Why does this always happen? Either way, […]
My brother and I spent 2.5 great days in Barcelona, enjoyed a lot of the incredible sites, and did it all relatively inexpensively. Here is what we did: Day One Stroll La Rambla, admiring the sites, shops, and hoards of people. Stop along the way for some incredible fruit cups or (overly sweet) 1 Euro […]
In no particular order, these are all some great games that I routinely “pull out of my bag’ when there is, um, like 25 extra minutes of class and I have nothing else to do. They’re simple, fun, and easy to adapt to all levels! [Click each title to see how to play the games] […]
For some incredible tortilla espanola, drinks, raciones (plates to share)- all at amazing price- go to El Buo in La Latina! It’s part of a restaurant group that owns a number of similar restaurants, but for large slices of tortilla, you’ll want to head to El Buo and for an entire tortilla to share among […]
This past Saturday, I did one of those “never in my life did I ever think I would do this, yet… here I am” things. Luis and I traveled from Geneva, Switzerland, all the way to Chamonix, France and then took the cable car over 3,000 feet above sea level via the Aiguille du Midi […]
Hi friends!! Happy Friday from SWITZERLAND I´m here for a shorter than usual trip. Arrived late last night, spent the day wandering around today, then tomorrow we are off to CHAMONIX for the day, and then I´m back to Madrid early Sunday morning. Spain is going to feel tropical after the cold that they have […]
