My friend, Annie, and I wanted to try something different for dinner last week. We had Dionisos on our radar since Greek food always looks good (um, hellllooo feta cheese!), and we were in the market for some lighter fare. I had high hopes for Dionisos, since the menu was full of a variety of […]
Los Chuchis is a bar that has been on my radar for some time since it’s right in my hood! I walk past there on my way home from school and it’s always packed with eager customers and the food looks awesome. I have always loved their bright colors and clean appearance compared to the other […]
La Bicicleta Cycling Cafe and Workplace Address: Plaza de San Ildefonso, 9, 28004 Madrid Atmosphere: bright (during the day), earthy with a lot of wood, brick, etc. Busy and lively when it’s full of people. There are smaller tables and sofas to have a drink with friends and large work spaces for people using their computers. […]
I wrote this post and never posted it and since it’s already Friday, I need to set it free into the cyber world to get all your eager eyes ready for my next weekend post! This weekend was so good… I always say that, don’t I?? Thursday flew by, thanks to only having three quick […]
As I have said before, I didn’t join the gym last year so my fitness routine was limited to going for runs or doing NTC in the park near my house or in my room. Running (or walking) around a city is my absolute favorite way to see a new city, figure out the lay […]

Hello, hello! Another weekend in the books (*tears*), but we are only 3 days away from the next one, so just keep on chuggin’! We will get there. This weekend was fannnntastic, as usual. It started with my favorite cozy breakfast on Friday morning: oatmeal // milk // cinnamon // Stevia // banana slices // […]
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, […]
