Ooh, here’s a question I forgot to add to my F.A.Q.s – which do you like better, Spain or California? My grandma asks me this literally every time I talk to her on the phone and I never really have an answer. There are some things about one country that are better, and some things … Continue reading »
I’m back in Barcelona! Well, I suppose officially I was back a little under a month ago, but it hasn’t felt like it as I’ve been traveling so much. I have honestly been in a different country every week for a month (including fun things like a different currency in each one, and a different … Continue reading »
Tomorrow is January 6th, so that means that even the longest holiday celebrations are officially coming to an end. I started the holidays in Barcelona, and finished off home in California. So here are some of my photo highlights. The first sign the holidays had started was, of course, Barcelona’s amazing Christmas lights. I even … Continue reading »
Thinking back over this past year, I did a trip nearly every month. It got to the point where I was trying to make plans with friends in Barcelona and our schedules rarely lined up to do something. “I’m not avoiding you, I swear!” I apologized “I just travel a lot.” So where have I … Continue reading »

There’s a gentle wind that’s … Continue reading »

Even though I love Barcelona and love living there, it’s always nice to go home for a while. “There’s no place like home” is a cliché for a reason! In no particular order, here are some things I’m loving about … Continue reading »
I’m home for a couple of weeks, and I’d been talking with my mum about all the weird and wonderful things southern California has to offer. So she surprised me with a special treat – tickets to go see a live taping of my favorite late-night show, Conan! We went into Los Angeles for the show, … Continue reading »
Hello everybody, I just wanted to let you all know that I’m back in California! I hadn’t taken my summer vacations yet, so I’m using up my vacation time to go home for a couple of weeks. I’m still shocked at how much vacation time I have in Spain (a month per year, and a … Continue reading »
One of the definite downsides about living abroad is the homesickness that always pops up. I guess it happens to everyone living far away from home, but mine always comes when a few specific things happen. It’s especially bad after my family comes to visit. They were just here, but they’ve left now. I always … Continue reading »
