Visiting Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove were, without a doubt, the best parts of the entire California Road Trip. There are some incredibly beautiful towns and cities along the California coast, with some things you just don’t see in other countries (like Vegas!), but nothing beats the majesty and grandness of Yosemite and how breathtaking […]
The More Obvious Spain Packing List
I have already written a post about the less obvious things you should pack when moving to Spain, but as my brother is getting ready to move to Spain himself and asked me what normal things he should be taking, it occurred to me that maybe I should share a post with more obvious things you […]
The Great California Road Trip: Three Days in San Francisco
Three days in San Francisco was the perfect amount of time to see all of the famous sights, walk around the best neighborhoods in San Francisco, and visit some of the awesome places that people had recommended to me. Since we had flown from Vegas to San Francisco, we had three days in San Francisco […]
The Great California Road Trip: One Day in Vegas
The Great California Road Trip started with a bang and what better way to start something than with a trip to Vegas? Vegas is one of those places you have to see once in your life, so we booked flights and headed spent one day in Vegas, which was enough time to experience the casinos, […]
Planning a California Road Trip
Since last summer, I have had it in my head that I want to do a full-blown road trip across the West Coast of the USA (mostly California). I have done this trip a couple times in the past, but I wanted Luis to have the opportunity to experience the West Coast too. Last year, […]

A Week Visiting Portugal’s Beaches (Estoril and Lagos) – Part I
Hello, hello, hello! I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve been MIA over here, but that’s because Luis and I were on a week-long vacation visiting Portugal’s most amazing beaches and then when we got back, I immediately hit the ground running with work and doing things. Anyway, here I am, almost 2 weeks […]
Visiting Lahr, Germany
I wrote this post over ten days ago, right after getting back from our trip to Lahr, Germany. I’ve had it sitting in my drafts folder, but haven’t posted it because I felt weird about putting this on the internet. I went back and forth as to why I felt ‘off’ and eventually realized that […]
A Weekend in Granada (with work)
Hello, hello! I’m writing to you on Monday afternoon during a 2 hour break between morning classes and afternoon activities for this job with CIEE. I’m actually incredibly tired, but I like getting a post up on Mondays, so here is your Monday post- a quick glimpse into my weekend in Granada with CIEE. We […]
The Ultimate 11 Day Northern Italy Summer Trip
Last summer, Luis and I spent 11 days in Italy and in that short time, we were able to hit 10 cities, beaches, and little towns. It was the trip of a lifetime and we were able to see everything we wanted to see, do everything we wanted to do, and eat everything (and more) […]
