My adventure of living abroad so far has been exciting, fun and incredible. It's been full of countless ups and downs and enough memories to last a lifetime.

before it all began…

Before it all began I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know what the future would hold... and this is what I had to say..   (July 31, 2014) I can not believe I am about to move to a foreign country . Tomorrow I will be on a plane flying to Spain.

things aren’t always as they seem…

It's all about perspective, isn't it?  Social Media has now made it so that everyone out there on the internet, both friends, family and strangers alike can see the most glamorized version of our lives, they can see what we choose to portray.
