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 […]

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 […]
