So the original plan was to enjoy a festival in Barcelona, and then wander through Italy for about two weeks. By some form of fate, or coincidental timing, my company started offering a work from home opportunity, but that it would be “allowed” anywhere around the world. So I figured, why not make my Italy … More Summer in Spain
We left Granada and caught a flight to Amsterdam. We didn’t think that this would have been a place we wanted to visit at first, but after reflecting on our last trip, we decided to visit places that wouldn’t have been top of mind. I didn’t’ have any expectations from Amsterdam. I went with the … More A little getaway in Amsterdam
Last stop on our Spanish adventure was the beautiful Granada. Sophia and I took a 2.5-hour bus ride directly from Cordoba. We dozed off every now and then because we tried to see all the hills and fields we passed on our way to our destination. Sadly, it was a gloomy day and just when … More Two Days in Granada
The main reason why I said “Yes” to this last destination is that one of my favorite movies is P.S. I Love You.

Our flight arrived at the International … More Dreamland Gan Choinne

A train from Rome to Florence was easy. For our next destination, we had to take two trains. It wasn’t too difficult, we were already getting used to the time change so we were more awake on our train rides. It took us about three hours to get to La Spezia from Florence. … More Cinque Terre.
Our first train ride to Florence was easy. We took a direct train to Florence and spent about 3 hours traveling. We got off the train and I had the chance to practice my Italian. We couldn’t find a place to catch a bus or metro to where our hostel was. Sophia figured out that … More Firenze.
Rome caught Sophia and me by surprise. I was getting a little nervous when they started speaking Italian in the airport gate announcements. We bought bus tickets to a train station near our air BnB and waited to get on the plane for about 30 minutes. Off to a great start right? This was the first … More La Città Eterna
As many of you know, I am bilingual. If you don’t know what that means, it is when one speaks two languages. I speak English and Spanish. Recently I discovered that my first language was actually Spanish, of course, because mom talks to us in Spanish all the time. The cool thing is that once … More Bar-the-lona: Day 1.
