A Jumble of Thoughts.

August 17, 2015August 17, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

Estoy sentado en mi habitación que está vacía ahora…en serio, donde se ha ido el tiempo? I cannot believe that I have less than 36 hours here in Madrid. Here in España. Here with the family that I have lived with over the past 13 months. The family that I have come to call my… Continue reading A Jumble of Thoughts.

Bilbao.

August 5, 2015July 31, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

City by the sea. I was in love. We spent a week up in the northern part of Spain and what a relaxing week it was. Madrid has been such a hot mess, Bilbao was a welcomed break with the sea-breeze and cooler temperatures. Apart from going to the beach almost everyday, we went sailing… Continue reading Bilbao.

A Suitcase and A Carry-on.

July 29, 2015July 22, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

When I left for Spain a year ago, this was what I left with: a big bag that I checked, a carry-on and my college backpack. I could have checked 2 bags, but my cheapie, college grad self was not going to pay for an extra bag! Surprisingly it was enough. Sure I bought some… Continue reading A Suitcase and A Carry-on.

Un Año Entero.

July 21, 2015July 21, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

July 14, 2014. That Monday, a year ago, I landed in Spain. It’s been a whole year. I’ve lived in another country for a whole year. I haven’t been on American soil in an entire year. I can’t believe it. I was reminded of my anniversary because we celebrated the birthday of one of our… Continue reading Un Año Entero.

Barcelona and Roma.

My sister was here back in June and the two of us got to travel around. Yay for vacation time! Both of the cities were beautiful and I definitely want to go back and see them again! Let’s start with Barcelona. We were there for only 3 days, but it was fun nonetheless. It was… Continue reading Barcelona and Roma.

All the Feels.

July 13, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

Right now as I am writing this my SBFF (Spain best friend forever) is boarding her plane back to California. It is so surreal. The past week we’ve been together and just hanging out; which is nothing out of the ordinary, but the next few weeks without seeing her on the daily will be different.… Continue reading All the Feels.

Lisboa!

May 26, 2015May 26, 2015 Danielle6 Comments

Travel. Travel. Travel. I have got the travel bug! Lucky enough for me I went to Lisbon for the 3-day weekend here in Madrid. Although it was a quick trip, I enjoyed every bit of it. We walked around and took in the sights of the city. Soaked up the sun’s rays at the beach,… Continue reading Lisboa!

Melting.

May 20, 2015May 13, 2015 DanielleLeave a comment

Remember when I complained about the cold temps here and could not wait until it started warming up and was summer time? I mildly regret that statement. Last week the temps started rising, real quick. We were in the 80s when the week before was in the 60s…maybe we got 70. So that quick rise… Continue reading Melting.

Reverse Culture Shock.

I have been thinking about this topic A LOT these past few weeks. As my time in Spain is winding down I’m beginning to assess what life is going to be like when I move back to the States. I am looking forward to moving back and being home, but I know that things will… Continue reading Reverse Culture Shock.
