What an awesome weekend! I figured it out- the secret to an epic weekend is a PLAN. Last weekend, I was feeling a little bummed by the fact that I spent most of the weekend working and then during my time off, I wasn’t doing anything with any real purpose. It was fun of […]
When All You Do All Weekend is Eat.
Well, here we are- Monday again (Tuesday, when this is posted), and there is another weekend behind us that seemed to have flown by! I guess that’s a sign of a good weekend! This weekend was full of a lot of work (yay for new jobs) and a LOT of food. I’m surely not complaining […]
Luis in the USA, Part IV (Philadelphia and Food Firsts)
After two days in D.C., we were so ready for a chill day. We didn’t get home til pretty late on Tuesday, so we woke up late on Wednesday, had pancakes with my dad, went for a run around the neighborhood, and then got dressed and braved the subway into town. I absolutely LOVE […]
Italy: 1/2 Day in Siena and 1 Night in Bologna
After our adventurous day in Florence, we started our last morning in Florence with a quick 30 minute run. Florence is like Madrid- the stores and shops are pretty much closed until about 10 am, so it made running through the old streets much, much easier! While I packed up the Airbnb and made […]
How to Make Spanish Tortilla (with a recipe from my Spanish host-mom)
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 […]
June Weekend.
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 […]
Foods You Must Try in Madrid
You think Spain, and-let me guess- you think paella and sangria and flamenco dresses? Oh, and a lot of parties and people taking naps 😉 But there is so much more to Spain (specifically Madrid) that you don’t hear about, that really needs to be in the spotlight. If you’re planning a trip to Madrid anytime soon, here are six foods […]
7 Recent Things from the USA and 7 Recent Things from Spain.
It’s been quite some time (0kay, a week) since I have been back from the US, but I just haven’t been able to find the motivation to get on here and write. Where are you, motivation?! Part of it is this beautiful weather that Spain is having and I go many days without even cracking […]
3.5 Days in Tel Aviv, Israel. (Part III)
That bread up there was sooo good, now currently living in my freezer in Madrid 😉 Saturday was my last full day in Israel, so there was one thing, and only one thing, that I knew I wanted to accomplish. Breakfast. Specifically, Israeli breakfast. I wanted the whole shebang- the 15 little plates of salad […]
3.5 Days in Tel Aviv, Israel. (Part II)
Day two was wedding day!!! We got up, got dressed, and almost immediately caught a taxi to the wedding (which got lost on the way and was super angry that he had insisted we take a pre-set fare that we originally thought was too high and ended up being too low…hehehe). We were blown away by […]
