My first week in Italy has gone by so quickly! I use my meals to tell the time instead of a watch because I eat so damn much here. Italians seriously know how to eat. I can't even count the different amounts of cheese I've had since I've been here. It's a lot. When I'm …
This is going to be a short post. I know I've been MIA for a bit, but I've been packing, finishing up a bunch of different projects, and spending time with Kurtis. Tomorrow I will wake up bright and early to catch a flight to Pisa. I'm going to au pair for my second summer, …
Since I've returned to England, I haven't really touched on the new city I'm living in--Hull. Kingston Upon Hull or Hull for short is on the East Coast of the U.K. Apparently it was named "The City of Culture" for 2017. I guess this is England's way of taking a not so nice town and …
This is a topic that I've held to my heart that I'd like to share. Originally, this post was going to be about what it likes to work out as a retired collegiate athlete, but it morphed into something else. This post is especially for those people who like to compare their middle or high …
Wow. I had a long and thoughtful about me post written, so some of you could get to know the 'not a girl, not yet a woman' twirling around Chasing Spain. Apparently my draft was sucked into the black hole of the internet, which means it's 9:00 p.m. here, and I'm starting from scratch. If …
(This photo has nothing to do with today's blog post. It just felt soothing) Initially, I was going to wrap up my never-ending posts about the Netherlands, including my trip to Keukenhof and Zaanse Schans. I'm going to deviate from my usual travel post, and babble at you for a few minutes. Since the start …
Since I have been in Amsterdam since Monday, it is only fitting that I write about it right before I leave...as I'm in the airport...... and post it days later. I squeezed a lot of different activities into the past five days, so I most likely will come back to this trip, and do a separate …
Friday evening we enjoyed some tapas at one of the local pubs I used to frequent over the summer with the family and NEREA & friends (There, I mentioned you). It was an early night in preparation for heading to the mountains the next morning. It was a beautiful weekend to spend in Montseny. It …
I have finally escaped the evil clutches of England and returned to the holy land for which this blog is named after, Spain! Over the next few weeks, I will be doing a bit of traveling, and my first stop was back in Mataró to visit with my au pair family and friends from last …
In all of my early years on this big planet, the one question that all different people--babysitters, teachers, distant relative--would ask is: What do you want to be when you grow up? And me? I wanted to be a veterinarian, as fashion designer, a writer, a doctor, and any other profession I saw …
