Hola chicos! Happy Earth Day!!! I hope by now all the rain has stopped in Stevens Point and maybe some green is coming out. Luckily I have had rather nice weather recently but I still can’t wait for Wisconsin summer. Coming back from spring break was definitely hard, it was a big reality check after […]

My last weekend in London was one that really took me back to my childhood, and probably to anyone’s who was born in the ’90s. Harry Potter was one of the first real books that I ever read and to see them turned into movies throughout my adolescence was a privilege. I think that many […]

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 […]

With the weather warming up, London is full of new opportunities for the exploring tourist. One of my favorite things to do on a spring day is to visit one of the many famous parks scattered around the city. I am very fond of Regents Park as I live right outside of its gates and […]

Before coming to London, I was vaguely familiar with the pop culture sensations of The Beatles, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, but I had no idea how important they were to British culture.

Chocolaty, fruity, flakey, or frosted, you name it and the French make it better than anything you could have hoped for. Part of the Paris experience is enjoying the local cuisine, […]

It’s a common stereotype that the French supposedly are rude to tourists, especially Americans, and after spending the weekend there I can say I didn’t get that impression at all. Even the people I interacted with that could speak no English at all were friendly with me and I was a little bit surprised after […]

Hola Chicos! I am happy (and sad of course) to say that today is officially my half way to home point. I have been in Spain for just over two months and I’ll be home in about two months. I have conflicted feelings because of course I miss my friends and family, but I know […]

Last weekend, I took a day trip down to Dover and Canterbury to see some famous historical sites. The one that really caught my attention was Dover Castle. First off, it is huge! You could literally spend an entire day here and not see everything, which was a little upsetting because I only had two […]
