Our first day in NYC was wet and rainy, but good nonetheless. Our second day, however, was sunny, warm, and perfect. We had breakfast in a super fancy place. And then headed straight for Time’s Square, which is awesome at night, but I think it’s possibly even better during the day…or maybe the rain is clouding […]
After a day in Philadelphia, we had a day to relax and celebrate my birthday (!!!) Why (how?) am I 26?! I’m old…just look at that grandma sweater in da club! And then were off the next day for two amazing days in Washington D.C. But wait. before that, we spent a day in Philadelphia, […]
^two of the loves of my life. Making: iced coffee and a lot of it. I make a large batch of espresso and leave it in the fridge overnight, then for 2-3 days I have enough. Small glass, 2 ice cubes, 1/2 glass milk, 1/2 glass espresso. Give it a stir or wait 5 minutes […]
I made it! There is (some) light at the end of this tunnel! I certainly have not finished everything, but I have gotten to the point of signing my papers and now I wait. Wait for an approved or rejected application (let’s hope for approved…) and then I will send a few more documents, sign […]
Spain has so many amazing qualities, but one of it’s best are the abundance of beaches. I have been so incredibly lucky and have been able to visit a bunch of them and after some thorough research, I can honestly say that Mallorca is my favorite. Last week, I spent four days in Mallorca and […]
I am finally (FINALLY) at the stage of paying the tasa (the tax) for my application and while I don’t think it’s very confusing, I have gone through this tasa-paying runaround quite a few times here in Spain, so I thought I would put it all down here for anyone who needs some help. Enjoy. […]
After Cinque Terre, we were off to what ended up being the BEST city we visited- Portofino! Portofino is absolutely beautiful, with it’s crystal clear water and bright colored buildings. Everyone goes gaga for Cinque Terre, but I really thought this little place takes the cake. In terms of things to do and see, no- […]
After getting a little taste of Cinque Terre by visiting Vernazza, we decided the next day would be dedicated to seeing the rest of the towns. But first, some Italian breakfast, made by our wonderful B&B host. We decided to start at the furthest town and then make our way closer to home, so that […]
I’m interrupting my normally scheduled programming of obnoxiously slamming you with Italy posts to live blog for a second. My roommate is running around the apartment, collecting last minute things here and there because she is moving home after being in Madrid for 3 years. She was in Spain for an additional semester before […]
Planning any Multi-City European trip can be overwhelming- so much to organize! Flights, hotels, trains, buses, AirBnb, rent a car?, restaurants, hitting the major sites, AND MORE. But that’s one ball game. Planning a multi-city trip is a whooooole other beast. It can be totally intimidating, and before doing it myself last summer (to visit […]
