One of my favorite types of blog posts to read are the ones that quench my thirst to be as nosy as possibly into other people’s lives…a.k.a I love posts where I can read about minuscule details of the blogger and their day. Naturally, when I saw this survey on the Carrots ‘n’ Cake blog, […]
Living abroad has all types of amazing benefits- friends, new cities, parties, cool restaurants, learning about a new culture, but with all the good, there is always a darker side (like with anything in life). I have found that one of the biggest struggles I face living in another country are the bouts of loneliness […]
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, […]
Buenos dias!! Estoy escribiendo este post el miercoles…mejor tarde que nunca 😉 Me he despertado dos horas antes que tengo que irme para planear dos viajes pendientes pero son super estresantes. Mejor que escribo aqui y los dejo para mas tarde. #procrastination #enespanol Este fin de semana pasado ha sido increible…como siempre! Era lo […]
I’m typing this up from my living room/ dining room table, with a hot cup of peppermint tea and a completely empty, eerily quiet house. My roommates left over the course of yesterday and today, flying back to the U.S to spend the holidays with their families. I’m excited for the trips I have planned […]
Making: plans for Amsterdam and Berlin!!! I CAN’T WAIT! Also, I made lots of Christmas cookies this week. I told the parents of my private students that we could make Christmas cookies in class and they agreed! Lots of fun and even more mess. Cooking: I made this garlic-lemon chicken & pasta and dare I say, it […]
Before I tell you about Warsaw, I really need to tell you about how we got to Warsaw. There are two options for trains, a 2 hour train and a 4 hour train. The latter being about 1/2 the price, so we opted for that. Annie and I talked about comfy seats, warm and cozy…and […]
We are in the home stretch! I took over 650 photos in Poland, so narrowing them down to three posts, while also saying everything that I want to say (especially about Auschwitz) has proved to be so much more time-consuming than I expected! But I am starting to see the light at the end of […]
After spending two days in Krakow, we spent the third day visiting Auschwitz. I can’t comprehend the idea of going to Poland without taking a day trip to visit Auschwitz, one of the largest (if not the largest) Nazi concentration and death camp during WWII. Auschwitz was the site of 1.1 million deaths, and the […]

Just like my last gift guide, these gifts range in price so don’t be discouraged that many of them are machines! There are also smaller gifts here. 2016 Christmas Gift Guide: For People Who […]
