La noche de San Joan

The night of San Joan by far is one of my favorite nights in Barcelona.   One thing I never tire of living in Spain is that there is always something to celebrate... there is always some sort of holidays, celebrations, parties and happiness. And it's great. It makes living in this great country even greater.   … Continue reading La noche de San Joan

LUCKY

...there are nights like tonight where I jusr take a step back and realize how truly lucky I am. Tonight there was a full moon casting a beautiful (yet eerie) glow over Barcelona. It was so bright, it light up everything and highlighted all the beautiful buildings in the Gothic neighborhood. As I walked around … Continue reading LUCKY

Love Abroad

What happens when you fall in love abroad? I thought that would be a question I would never need to figure out the answer to, a problem I would never face. But sometimes life doesn't happen the way you think it will. But the reality is I've met someone and it's really changed everything. The … Continue reading Love Abroad

Bringing a slice of home to Barcelona

Sometimes living abroad it is difficult to do "normal" things, or things you constantly do when living at home. You don't always realize how much you miss those things until you're reminded of them, either via a photo on social media, or just happening upon something one day. Sometimes it makes you homesick, sometimes it … Continue reading Bringing a slice of home to Barcelona

La Diada de Sant Jordi. Barcelona.

This by far was my most favorite day ever in Barcelona thus far. It made the most magical and beautiful city even more magical and more beautiful than I thought could ever be possible. The whole day was all about love, flowers and books. Everywhere you went you were surrounded by it, and by people … Continue reading La Diada de Sant Jordi. Barcelona.
