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
The picture shown above is Luis, my friend Meaghan, and me. It was taken at Meaghan’s going away party last Sunday. Meaghan and I have known each other for over two years and she has become such a close friend to me. She is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my whole […]
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 […]

New Year’s Intentions: One Month Check-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 […]
What is home?

Things have been going swimmingly around here, and it feels good to be home. I am actually writing this from my parent’s kitchen, […]
Saturday Life.
It’s been so long since I’ve given ya’ll a glimpse into one of my days. For whatever reason, these are the HARDEST posts for me to write, yet they are my favorite to read on other people’s blogs. Call me nosy, but I love seeing what normal days look like for other people, so in […]
Snow Days
Hello! From the USA and from my first snow day in three years! I surprised my parents last week, which was a last minute decision. I bought tickets to come home (for various reasons) and then didn’t tell my parents about it. I flew home, trained to our town, and walked home. They were in […]
