Tomorrow I’ll be home in Chicago. Back to America. This semester has gone by so incredibly fast, more than any semester has before. I haven’t blogged in almost a month, but I have my reasoning so hear me out. As my program was coming to a close I tried to spend as much time as…
Vale la pena
Barcelona really feels like home now-a-days. You know after a vacation, when you get back to your town and you get that sense of relief and comfort? I get that feeling when I get back to Barcelona. After each of my travel weekends, I dismount the AeroBus in Plaza Catalunya, greeted by the loud buzz of people rushing in and out…
Semana Santa
Hi everyone!! I have a LOT to catch you all up on… 3 countries worth of travel, a multitude of visitors, and the start of a 3rd decade of living (21 y’all!!). Because I’m so behind, this post is going to be a quick wrap-up of my Spring Break week (in Spain we call it “Semana Santa”)…
Encantada con Granada
I spent last weekend in Granada with my study abroad program here in Barcelona – CIEE Liberal Arts. Unlike a lot of the abroad programs here, we have a relatively small group, about 22 students (while some of the others have over 100) and we’re all fairly familiar with one another because we most likely had at…

Eat your spaghetti to forgetti your regretti
ITALY, PART 1 Except when in Rome, “NO RAGRETS” I’m a little behind on my blogging because I’ve been in a whirlwind of action recently. But it’s been an amazing past 2 weeks! Two weekends ago I spent 3 days with my best friends in Italy – 12 hours in Rome and then trained an hour to…
A Weekend in Morocco
One thing I didn’t expect to during my 4 months in Europe was go to Africa.. well I just got back from one of the most incredible weekends of my life in Morocco. I stayed with a group of 6 friends in Riad Porte Royale in the middle of the Medina. Riads are these BEAUTIFUL traditional Moroccan…

[København]’t felt my feet in a while
H O L A 🙂 Last weekend I took my first of many trips outside of Spain. I went to Copenhagen, Denmark with a bunch of friends and we stayed in a super cool hostel called Urban House. Copenhagen is a very interesting city and very different than anywhere I’ve ever been. It was FREEZING…
Caminatas y burratas!!
Started this post yesterday, Tues the 26th, while in my UPF class “communicaciones y sociedad en España”. Were learning about the history of forms of communication but its also in spanish so I’m sure you can imagine it’s fairly painful to sit through. Naturally everyone in this class is on the computers, booking weekend flights/…
