It’s funny to think about when we got here (a week ago?! It feels like a month) people would sit around chatting about how “they are going to live in La Latina” or “want a cute flat with a nice balcony in the room”…me. And now you look around in you see people pulling their […]
And I am no longer eating 100% like a homeless person! Exhibit A- Today’s lunch! After shopping! Exhibit B- Today’s dinner!!!! I missed you, vegetables. It seems like many things in the supermarkets here are a bit cheaper than back at home. I was able to get a lot (seems like a lot to me) […]
Good Morning (if you’re in the US) and Good Afternoon (if you’re in Madrid!), I’m taking a little break from piso-hunting to chat about nothing really. I’m actually waiting for my roommate to leave so that I can make calls to different apartment owners. She speaks beautiful, fluent Spanish and I’m too self-conscious to make […]
**I have a few crappy photos to share, but my iPhone won’t connect to Gmail! I’ll figure it out soon! Also, please add me on WhatsApp!! Here I am, sitting in my hotel in Madrid!! I just got here, I’m kind of exhausted and also kind of buzzed off of the sugary breakfast that the […]
Go to the beach instead! Because you will definitely pack, even if it is the day before you are moving to another country. Even if you have to pack and repack that bag 3 times, and eventually decided a duffel (how do you spell duffle?) bag would be better. Even though that duffle bag has […]
As I sit here typing this post, I am the only one that is home (if you don’t count Teddy and Misu). The house is quiet, my parents are out, and I am here alone. It gives me chills, waves of nausea, excitement, and sadness to think that in one week-168 hours-I will be on […]
Holy shit, excuse my French, but I leave for Spain in 2 weeks and 2 days. 16 days, mas o menos?! I have been dutifully preparing for my departure, getting things ready, doing tons of research, and have starting packing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!!! I found that picture on the internet. Thanks, Google. I have done none of […]
Hey, hey! So now that you all know I’m going to Spain for the better part of a year, I thought I would answer some questions that you may have. Or maybe you could care less, who knows? Not I. If you DO have any questions, please, please, please send them my way. I will […]
Obviously, it is literally impossible for me to get this post up, so here I am, almost a MONTH after our trip and I am finally going to finish writing about the last day!!! On our final day in Vancouver, we did something that people repeatedly said was “so hard” and “don’t do it”. So […]
Happy, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a nice weekend! If you’re just catching up on the Vancouver vacation, check out day 1, days 2 and 3, and days 4 and 5. Day 6 Day 6 was probably my favorite day of our entire trip. It was fun, adventurous, relaxing, yada yada. While we […]
