Hello! I have been trying to jump on here, but things have been busy with my Mama here in Madrid! It has been so, so good having my mom here- I love having someone so special to eat with, hang out with, and…sleep on the floor next to (haahaha…). It makes me sad to think […]
6 Days in Israel – Jerusalem – Part III
Just checking in now? Here is PART 1 and PART 2 of our trip. Our first full day in Jerusalem was all about exploring! Since we only had two days in Jerusalem, we wanted to hit the ground running and that’s exactly what we did. After breakfast in the Airbnb, we headed out and spent […]
Things Before Israel
Hello hello! Luis and I are finishing the final things on the to-do list before heading off to ISRAEL for a 6 day trip. We are spending a couple days in Tel Aviv and then 3 days in Jerusalem and then back in Tel Aviv for another day. This will be my 5th? or 4th? […]
The Weekend and Other Days.
Hello! I hope you are all feeling well-rested after the weekend. I didn’t mean to up and disappear like I have for the last 1.5 weeks. Everyday, I have ´blog´on my to-do list and every day, my to-do list gets away from me. Things have really, really been picking up in the Bagel and tour […]
A Really Great Hump Day
Good morning and Happy THURSDAY! Wow, this week has just flown by (love when that happens!). I wanted to pop in and share a little about my day yesterday (Wednesday a.k.a Hump Day!) since it was a good day. I guess it was probably such a good day because I worked for….2 hours, but hey, […]
Checking In IX

Five Ways to Make Friends in a New City
Moving to a new city, whether it be in your home country or abroad can be nerve-wracking and scary, with the number one question always being: How will I make new friends? That was definitely my biggest fear when I moved to Madrid and to this day, it’s still something I find difficult, BUT at […]
A Day in Life: Working on VIPKID Full Time
As many of you may or may not know, I have recently made a big change! I am now working for VIPKID full-time! By ‘full-time’, I mean that I work 5 hours per day, 5 days per week and I am loving it! I decided to make this move for a number of reasons and initially, I […]
New Year’s Intentions: One Month Check-In
Here we are! Already in February 2018. It’s been a month since I wrote my 2018 New Year’s Intentions and while a month isn’t all that long, I think it’s important to reflect periodically to see how I’m doing. They say it takes 20-something days to form a habit, right? Right. So 31 days in, […]
What’s in My Bag
As I get ready to head back to Spain, I am packing my tiny suitcase, but as always, my suitcase is going back with me much heavier than it came. Actually, now that I think about it, I could have brought an almost empty suitcase, just clothes to workout and leggins to sit at home […]
