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 […]
Bagels, Beaches, and Birthdays (and More!)
I can’t believe I’m 25 years old! 25 sounds so…old!…so much older than 24. 25 sounds like an age that someone should have their life together. Lo and behold, I…do not. But I am happy and enjoying my life, so that’s something! For this birthday, I am at the beach with my parents and […]

Hi! And happy 25th birthday to ME! ^^This is 25 🙂 This is the year of my quarter-life crisis, but maybe I’ve already had my quarter-life crisis and it won’t happen. Orrr maybe I’ll dye my hair or get a big tattoo on my neck (quarter life crisis things) Here’s to hoping! Here are 25 […]

Applying for Spanish Citizen Due to Sephardic Origin
I haven’t really discussed it on here, but for the last 8 months or so, I have been slowly making my way through the various steps that are involved in applying for Spanish citizenship for Sephardic Jews. Like I said, this process is quite slow, and is relatively straightforward, but I thought I would share […]
Reverse Culture Shock.
When I went to Spain, I wouldn’t say that I experienced any real culture shock. I was expecting it to be different. I was expecting the people to speak differently than I do, look different, eat different foods, follow a different schedule, the buildings and roads and cars and shops would look different. I was […]
