Bonjour!!!! It's late, but I've meant to write about my trip to Paris from last weekend. I've had a lot of work, but I want to blog while the details are still fresh in my mind! Paris was my first trip out of Spain while studying abroad. Shiri and I were able to figure out public transportation from the Paris airport to get to our hostel. The hostel was very nice -- centrally located, clean, free breakfast, etc. Our room had two bunk beds, and the other two be...

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYBODY! Most people dread Mondays, but today, I am thrilled to start a new week. Right now, I'm in Mox, a place that has been on my list for a while. They have SALADS!!! Now, if you've ever been to Spain, you'd know that healthy food is hard to find. They're all about that meat, cheese, and bread life.

I LOVE making lists, so I'm going to list some recent highlights. I also have an 8:30 am class tomorrow *sigh* so this just makes it...

I have wanted to see Seville ever since one of my favorite Spanish teachers told me about her study abroad experience there (shoutout to Señora O'Donnell). Unfortunately, Tulane does not have a study abroad program in Seville. As a visitor, I had the fear that I would fall in love and regret not finding a sep...

Hola a todos! This weekend, I went on my first overnight trip! I knew I wanted to go somewhere in Spain and found out that there was a group planning to go to Málaga, which is in the south of Spain. I had heard great things about Málaga, plus there's a beautiful beach. When I saw that the weather was going to be in the 70s and a high of 80 degrees (Fahrenheit), I knew that they could count me in. I booked everything a WEEK ago. Isn't that amazing? And it was C...
