Hola chicos! Happy Earth Day!!! I hope by now all the rain has stopped in Stevens Point and maybe some green is coming out.

Hola chicos! I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break and time away from school! I just returned to Valladolid yesterday after 12 days of nonstop traveling. It was crazy insane and I loved every minute of it. First stop was London where I spent two nights exploring the city by myself. I know a […]

This past weekend was a new adventure for me as it was my first time traveling outside England. A few of my friends and I decided to spend the weekend in Ireland and it was a good learning experience. After a three-hour train ride and another three-hour ferry, we made it successfully to Dublin. This […]

Before heading overseas, I made sure to do a lot of research on the famous sites and attractions that London had to offer. The few that really stood out to me, and I’m sure almost everyone knows these sites, are the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. After having a chance to visit all […]
