It’s Like I’m Stuck In This Limbo…

It's been a long and I mean long and brutal first two weeks. I've been to a new city, woke up to new bruises and blisters and found a new place to live. It's been go go go and will be for a few more days until I officially move to my new piso. Arriving … Continue reading It’s Like I’m Stuck In This Limbo…

No Sé Dónde Voy, Sólo Sé Que Voy…

Por fin el día ha llegado! In 7 hours I will be boarding my first leg of my trip to Madrid. I couldn't be any more nervous, anxious, excited, hopeful as much as I am now. I leave everything behind starting today and will be starting a new chapter in my series of Madrid-love. Here's … Continue reading No Sé Dónde Voy, Sólo Sé Que Voy…

I’ve Come Full Circle…

I've come full circle, I can die now.  You've been to Paris before?  No. You know full circle, like full circle in my dreams. Coming to Spain, I didn't know anyone, I didn't even know my program mates except one. I was so excited to be going to Europe for the first time, that I … Continue reading I’ve Come Full Circle…

Wooohoooo…

Ahora es oficialmente Agosto! Que emoción, venga vamos!  I can official count down the 21 days until I embark on my adventure in Spain. Woohooo!   I'm super stoked and excited to see what this year brings me. I have already started making contact with folks who are moving to Spain or already live in … Continue reading Wooohoooo…

You Guys Have To Go Through The Most Complicated Visa Process…

To tell you that Spain's visa process isn't hard or confusing to say the least, I wouldn't be telling you the truth. The moment I found out I could be potentially returning to Spain, I searched and searched every little detail needed to know in order to move. Everything was so confusing or outdated. If I could … Continue reading You Guys Have To Go Through The Most Complicated Visa Process…

“Y Lloran Cuando Tienen Que Marchar”…

It was finally time for our two day excursion to Southern Spain. We were heading to Granada, Spain in the Andalusia region. I was so excited to be seeing another part of Spain and being so close to the coast and Africa. Like holy crap balls. I was on limited sleep and woke up in … Continue reading “Y Lloran Cuando Tienen Que Marchar”…

Y Te Deseo Lo Mejor…

After two long months, I found myself at LAX in the security line at Tom Bradley Terminal (which I always think is Tom Brady). A guy behind asked where I was heading to. I looked at my ticket and said London. Well actually Madrid, with a layover in London. He told me he was on … Continue reading Y Te Deseo Lo Mejor…

I’m Going To Throw You There…

Four days in and I was traveling to my first city outside of the Madrid region. We were off to Segovia, Spain in the region of Castile y León, just north of Madrid. 9:30am was our call time to be at Plaza de España to make sure our bus left on time. Talía and I walked to … Continue reading I’m Going To Throw You There…

Adiós.. Más Como Hasta Luego, Madrid…

I honestly have given up trying to say goodbye to Madrid or at least try and keep my mind off of that city. I feel like the Spanish Gods are always whisking me back to Madrid, to Spain. I got back home, suuuuppper excited to tell everyone and anyone about my adventures abroad. I had … Continue reading Adiós.. Más Como Hasta Luego, Madrid…

Guys, I Think I’m Lost…

Once I got off the Metro at Puente de Vallecas, (partly due to wanting to get McDonalds, although it was closed by midnight). I vigilantly walked home with loud sighs of exhaustion and sadness. I had just left 24 hours of rain/snow and tons of Nutella Crepes back in Paris. This was it. My last … Continue reading Guys, I Think I’m Lost…
