Four years ago, I wrote this post while I procrastinated packing for my first year in Spain. If you read the post, you can read between the lines (or not between the lines- very obviously) that I was nervous and worried and excited about my impending trip to Spain. That post feels like a long time […]
Hello, hello people! Luis and I have a really nice weekend in Valladolid, but what made it nice was that we were able to squeeze a lot into a short time. In just two days, we visited Peñafiel, Bodega Pradorey for vino, Valladolid, and Salamanca. It was a good weekend! We left early Saturday morning despite both […]
Moving to Madrid is stressful, there really is no other way to put it. It’s a crazy, lively city, there are lots of options for things to do, places to eat, where to live, and more, but it can also be so overwhelming, especially in those first few days (and if we’re being honest, weeks). I remember when […]
I have already written a post about the less obvious things you should pack when moving to Spain, but as my brother is getting ready to move to Spain himself and asked me what normal things he should be taking, it occurred to me that maybe I should share a post with more obvious things you […]
Hello, hello! I am writing this after a lovely little weekend in Santander, Spain (in the north, and the home of Santander Bank! How cool!). Luis and I had talked about spending the weekend visiting Santander, Spain, but then asked his mom if she wanted to join for her birthday, and then his brother- Adrián- […]
In case you don’t know, I have one of the coolest jobs in the world. I take people on tours of Madrid, showing them the best places to get food and drinks, while getting to meet awesome people from around the world. How do I do it? I work for Withlocals as a tour guide here […]
Hello, hello! I’m writing to you on Monday afternoon during a 2 hour break between morning classes and afternoon activities for this job with CIEE. I’m actually incredibly tired, but I like getting a post up on Mondays, so here is your Monday post- a quick glimpse into my weekend in Granada with CIEE. We […]
After posting last week about some of the differences between dating a Spaniard and dating and Amaerican, I shared it on Facebook and got a ton of responses with people sharing THEIR experiences while in a multi-cultural relationship. That gave me the idea to ask if anyone would like to answer some questions and share their story […]
Hello, hello! It has been quite awhile since I’ve said anything regarding my Spanish citizenship, but that’s because it’s been FOREVER since I’ve heard anything. If you’ve been following along on this journey, you know I have been applying for Spanish citizenship due to my family’s Sephardic heritage under the law that was enacted 3 […]
Hello friends! Happy Monday! I am coming back from an awesome quick weekend in Valle del Jerte (Extremadura) where I spent two days eating, hiking, drinking, relaxing, and laughing. My friend (and neighbor), Cristina invited Luis and me to join a trip to Valle del Jerte, where there was supposed to be an incredible blooming of […]
