From Sarasota to St. Petersburg (and a few places in-between), I visited some fun cities over spring break and captured the experiences through my eyes. Though the idea of calling a new place “home” is still an adjustment, it doesn’t hurt to be in a region brimming with culture, gorgeous views and lots to explore. Friends, family and random […]
Last month, I visited St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The islands are home to incredible beaches and nature, rich history and vibes so laid-back, I found myself questioning where I was in the world (when, in fact, I was technically still in the United States). I’m back at school now, so writing this and looking through […]
As I sit at the airport gate to head back to Gainesville for my sophomore year, I am flooded with thoughts and memories about my busy but special summer. I knew this moment was approaching – but I just cannot believe where I am today vs. where I was a little over one year ago. (I was actually […]
Chicago is a special city. It’s where my parents lived after they got married, and it’s where my brother was born. I have many fond memories of visiting Chicago with my family when I was younger, and I have always loved going back. This past weekend, I visited my brother, Ethan, who now lives in […]
Throughout my travels in Spain and France, I was inspired by the incredible architecture, winding streets, picturesque balconies and Mediterranean feel of the cities I visited in Catalonia and beyond. With my trusty Nikon D3300 in tow, I did my best at capturing the beauty of España. I wish I could offer an amazing piece of photography advice, but, […]
Packing for one month in Spain was quite the challenge. Maybe it’s because I left for my trip straight from the end of my spring semester of college (simultaneously packing for my trip and packing up my dorm was a bit of a hot mess). I thought I packed an appropriate amount, but the day before I headed […]
The Darcelona (no, that is not a typo) adventures have sadly come to a close (for now, at least). After a long day of travel – from Madrid to Miami to Cleveland – I am finally home for the first time since spring break. Coming home to my unchanged bedroom always evokes a slew of emotions; while my […]
I can’t believe this is my last weekend in Barcelona. Three of my roommates left the country for the weekend, but my roommates Olivia, Lauren and I are making the most of our last few days in Catalonia. Yesterday, we checked two items off of our “list.” We rode the Teléferic (cable cars) to Montjuïc, a beautiful […]
No two days in Barcelona are alike, but today was especially out of the ordinary. Usually, my roommates and I plan our days beforehand, but today (one of our last weekdays in Barcelona), we each went our separate ways for the afternoon. I decided I wanted needed to spend the day at La Boqueria, Barcelona’s infamous food market. If you […]
Date: Friday, May 13. Time: 6 a.m. Location: Barcelona apartment. My roommates and I stumbled around early Friday morning, finishing our packing, making breakfast, taking out any last-minute trash and getting ready to take the Metro to our school building, where we would board buses and head to Southern France for the weekend. In Spain, life begins […]
