I have so many posts I need to do (like recaps of Poland!), but those feel like they take so much mental capacity that I am lacking these days. Instead, my mind has been consumed with gifts and the holiday season, and while I am having an extremely hard time finding gifts that feel meaningful […]
A Day in the Life of an Auxiliar de Conversacion in Madrid: December 2016
I don’t do these types of posts very often, but they are, without a doubt, one of my favorites to go back and read. Your days might feel very ordinary, but they change and evolve over time- everything from what you do, to who you know, what you eat, what you wear, etc., will change. […]
A Weekend in Oviedo with Friends.
HAPPY TUESDAY! (started this post yesterday, but never finished) I was just here chattin’ with ya’ll last…Thursday? Or was it Friday? I’ve loss track since time is completely flying past, despite my greatest wishes (as mentioned in the last post). Part of it is due to being so busy with Bruja’s Bakery, and the other […]

How Things are Going- Part Dos.
Helloooooo From the other side……………… Haha. Every time I say “hello” to my students, inevitably, one will say “from the other side”. It’s a good song. Another good song? This Wake Me Up cover by Avicii. It was the cool down song in today’s Glutes and Legs class and I just about started crying while […]
Checking In IV.
Making: Banana bread (with lots of Greek yogurt and only a little bit of sugar! The recipe is so good and so easy. Make it). Tomorrow I am going to make apple muffins via A Healthy Slice of Life. Cooking: a couple weekends ago I had a little birthday party for myself (and housewarming party) and I […]
My Year Two Budget.
SO. I am officially down to 299 Euros in my Spanish bank account. (I wrote this one week ago…I am actually officially down to 53 Euros but who’s counting?) Don’t ask me how it happened because I’ll literally look at my hands like a little kid looks at their hands if you take a toy […]
Moving Back.
Today is the day! I am moving BACK to Spain for another year! It’s strange, actually….today is one year to the day that I moved there last year. Didn’t do that on purpose, but funny how things work out! I’m flying with Norweigan air, which is a lowcost airline and they don’t give you a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g for free. […]
Lately.
Hey, hey! Now that summer has quietly made it’s exit, it feels like fall is rolling in quite nicely. I know it won’t last, since we have a heat wave this weekend, but it is nice to feel the chill in the air and know that cozy sweater weather is on the horizon. One […]
Things to Always Pack and Questions to Always Ask When Staying in an AirBnB
I’ve done my fair share of AirBnb livin’ this last year with all of my various trips. Over the course of the year, I stayed in an AirBnb in Alicante, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, and Paris. I think the concept of AirBnb is absolutely brilliant. What other time in my life will I be able to […]
