I’m typing this up from my living room/ dining room table, with a hot cup of peppermint tea and a completely empty, eerily quiet house. My roommates left over the course of yesterday and today, flying back to the U.S to spend the holidays with their families. I’m excited for the trips I have planned […]
Before I tell you about Warsaw, I really need to tell you about how we got to Warsaw. There are two options for trains, a 2 hour train and a 4 hour train. The latter being about 1/2 the price, so we opted for that. Annie and I talked about comfy seats, warm and cozy…and […]
I don’t do these types of posts very often, but they are, without a doubt, one of my favorites to go back and read. Your days might feel very ordinary, but they change and evolve over time- everything from what you do, to who you know, what you eat, what you wear, etc., will change. […]
HAPPY TUESDAY! (started this post yesterday, but never finished) I was just here chattin’ with ya’ll last…Thursday? Or was it Friday? I’ve loss track since time is completely flying past, despite my greatest wishes (as mentioned in the last post). Part of it is due to being so busy with Bruja’s Bakery, and the other […]
So, where were we? OH yeah, talking about food and cheese and wine. That was basically the theme of day two in Lyon… Obviously, I was happy about that. The day started with breakfast of the oatmeal and coffee variety (bonuses of being in an airbnb vs. hotel) And continued through the city, past the […]
Hi! Just catching up? Here is part I. We took a early afternoon bus from Bilbao to San Sebastian on Sunday morning (tip: buy tickets ahead of time because they sell out and then you either need to purchase tickets with the more expensive company or you need to book a “deluxe” bus). The bus […]
Hey all! Happy FRIDAY! It’s been a great week that has absolutely flown by, just like today has! I was going to write this post at 10 a.m. this morning, but alas, it is almost 7:30 pm. Better late than never. Or not. You don’t care either way. So! Last weekend I met my parents […]
When friends and friends of friend’s contact me to ask about working as an auxiliar in Spain, one thing they always ask is: “is 1000 Euros enough to live on in Spain?” or “is the auxiliar salary enough?”. In general, it is enough. But you can’t do it ALL on the auxiliar salary (I’m saying […]
I have been in the process of applying for my Sephardic Spanish Citizenship for the last couple of years. While it is no easy process, it’s totally doable. In these series of posts, I am recapping how I am applying for Sephardic Spanish Citizenship and my experience. I took the DELE A2 exam yesterday! It […]
Last year, I spent a lot of time just randomly doing Google searches to find materials for my private lessons-basically, where to find good resources for teaching ESL classes. This year, I have done a better job of finding websites that continuously have good materials for private lessons. You know, materials that don’t have random ads all […]
