As I have said before, I didn’t join the gym last year so my fitness routine was limited to going for runs or doing NTC in the park near my house or in my room. Running (or walking) around a city is my absolute favorite way to see a new city, figure out the lay […]
Living abroad has all types of amazing benefits- friends, new cities, parties, cool restaurants, learning about a new culture, but with all the good, there is always a darker side (like with anything in life). I have found that one of the biggest struggles I face living in another country are the bouts of loneliness […]
Hello, hello! Another weekend in the books (*tears*), but we are only 3 days away from the next one, so just keep on chuggin’! We will get there. This weekend was fannnntastic, as usual. It started with my favorite cozy breakfast on Friday morning: oatmeal // milk // cinnamon // Stevia // banana slices // […]
There are so many awesome things about Spain (and many… not awesome things) that sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking: this place is awesome and this and this and this and THIS is why. So now, I keep a list in my phone to remind me of the things that make Spain and incredible country to […]
Ooooof, this month was a scary one in terms of spending. The good news is that most of it was on current and future travel plans. The bad news is that I still spent a *#$@ ton of money. But somehow my bank account isn’t completely empty, so let’s go with that. For memory’s sake, […]
My brother and I spent 2.5 great days in Barcelona, enjoyed a lot of the incredible sites, and did it all relatively inexpensively. Here is what we did: Day One Stroll La Rambla, admiring the sites, shops, and hoards of people. Stop along the way for some incredible fruit cups or (overly sweet) 1 Euro […]

For some incredible tortilla espanola, drinks, raciones (plates to share)- all at amazing price- go to El Buo in La Latina! It’s part of a restaurant group that owns a number of similar restaurants, but for large slices of tortilla, you’ll want to head to El Buo and for an entire tortilla to share among […]
Buenos dias!! Estoy escribiendo este post el miercoles…mejor tarde que nunca 😉 Me he despertado dos horas antes que tengo que irme para planear dos viajes pendientes pero son super estresantes. Mejor que escribo aqui y los dejo para mas tarde. #procrastination #enespanol Este fin de semana pasado ha sido increible…como siempre! Era lo […]
Ok. I think I have a new favorite European city!! Amsterdam is in.cred.i.ble. From the beautiful buildings that line the canals (#houseGOALS) to the insane number of trendy, interesting, and cool cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops, to the coffeeshops, art museums, and abundance of activities…this extremely bike friendly city left me so impressed and a plan to […]
