Hi! Happy Sunday! I have been waiting to finally share these photos with you all week and now that I have a laptop to use, I can! Last weekend, I was in Malaga, which is one of the beach towns in southern Spain. It was so beautiful and I was looking forward to going back […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Federal (for brunch)
Hi! Happy Saturday to you and yours! 🙂 I just wanted to pop in and share this absolutely amaaaaazing (all A´s necessary) restuarant with you! Cafe Federal Address: Plaza de las Comendadoras, 9, 28015 Madrid Atmosphere: Very open, bright, breezy, relaxed. I loved it! The tables were spread apart, the waiters were friendly, and we […]
Summer Lately.
Happy First Third Day of SUMMER!!!! It doesn´t really matter how old I get, summer time is still as special and exciting as it always has been, and I still feel giddy thinking about long days at the pool and beach, lots of ice cream and beer, and just general time to have fun. Summer […]
A Day in the Life: End of My First Year as an Auxiliar
This is a typical Wednesday- definitely my longest and most grueling day of the week, but also my last “difficult day”, as I finish work at 1:20 pm on Thursday, with no lessons in the afternoon, and no work on Fridays. Life is too good… On Mondays and Thursdays, I start work at 9:20, so […]
Restaurants in Madrid: La Bruta
La Bruta Address: Calle del Pez, 11, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: Young, modern, dark lighting, open front.

Type of food: They have a short food menu […]

So what´s been happening with you lately? *silence* Ah! That´s great! Here is my lately… Food: So many salads! Greens […]
Mallorca (III)
Buenas tardes! If you´re catching up, here is Part ONE and part DOS Our third day in Mallorca brought the prettiest views (in my opinion) and the most natural beauty. It started with breakfast…of course… The beach on the first day was white sand // clear water beachy, but with restaurants and a lot of […]
Mallorca (II)
Hi! I´m back with MORE Mallorca! So…where were we? Ah yes, the second day! On the second day, we decided to make use of our car and go check out some of the stalagmite caves, which are (semi) famous in Mallorca….after the beach. But first we had breakfast! We drove about an hour to Cuevas […]
Mallorca!
How did I get so lucky?! Last weekend, I went to- what may have been- the nicest beach of my life (and I have been to some pretty nice beaches). Everyone says that Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza are all MUST-SEE islands…and now I know why. RIGHT??? The weekend started after I took my Spanish Nationality exam on […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Bar Tomate
Bar Tomate Address: Calle de Fernando El Santo, 26, 28046 Madrid Atmosphere: Warm, mood lighting. It has a ¨library¨feel with bookshelves and lamps made out of book pages, as you can see in the picture above. Trendy, but not overly fancy. I thought they had the music on too loudly, but we were seated under a […]
