Whether its January or July, you will always be able to stumble upon something unique happening in Barcelona. But like most places, it oozes its coolness and shines most in the months from April to September. Any given day you step outside you are bound to find yourself sipping on a vermut in a neighborhood... Continue Reading →
Airports, amirite? Magical places full of love, hope, and dreams unlived. Let me be clear. I am talking about everything that happens A.S.—After Security. Until everyone has passed this point, it is a shit show across the board, and Ill be the first one to admit that anyone, ANYONE who gets in my way should... Continue Reading →
If you ever ask a Spanish person about the history and culture of their country, one of the first things they will tell you is how for centuries, three major religions and their respective cultural traditions, foods, and architectural styles coexisted together for centuries. Of course, how truly peaceful their coexistence was, we will never... Continue Reading →
One of the best things about living in Barcelona and being in your twenties with only a small feline to worry about while you're away, is that you can jet off for a weekend without much of a second thought.

That just happened to me with the word "MOVIES" while making the image for this post. Yikes. Moving on. One of the things I most often point to when someone brings... Continue Reading →
I have taken at least two transatlantic flights a year for the past seven years. I’ve always travelled alone, been on time for my flights, signed up for all the frequent flyer programs imaginable, crossed my fingers, toes, and all other extremities.

Teaching English is hard. Like I've mentioned a million times before. Motivating kids to speak it when they aren't giving one word, fill-in-the-blank answers, is even harder.
