Six jam-packed months of study, travel & living out of a backpack.
So, today is it. It’s been exactly four months since I left home and I’m still alive, relatively healthy (I think I’m getting a cold…) and all that crap. Madrid is cool, I’m staying right in the center of things. Spaniards are interesting people, lots of old people here like Read More …
……and I lived to tell about it. It was really quite fun, and not nearly as scary as it could have been. My class was great, they were so cute and came up with the funniest stuff. I timed everything perfect (that seems to be the hardest part!) and covered Read More …
Ok, so today is officially my third day in the city. I´ve gotten fairly settled into my hostel and bought a ton of groceries at the nearest grocery stores (one being El Corte Ingles, a Spanish department store with an amazing crocery store in the basement) and have gotten a Read More …

So, I’m currently in Lisbon. That’s in Portugal, home of this year’s EM. (Portugaaaaaaal, Portugaaaaal!) Anyway, I leave tonight for Madrid where I will settle for a month. I’m looking forward to being somewhat sedentary for a bit…the nomadic lifestyle is hard. It’s nice when you’re not moving around every Read More …
Picking up where I left off before, I was in Rennes on my way to Paris. Paris was definitely different than the last time. I got in midday and found my hostel…I didn’t book very far in advance and managed to find a place that was relatively inexpensive in Montmartre. Read More …
So, I´m about to leave beautiful Granada (that´s in Andalucia, southern Spain, for everyone not up on their Spanish geography). Spain is absolutely amazing and I´m remembering much more Spanish than I thought that I would. Except for a few key verbs…but I get by without them. So far I Read More …
I went to Europe’s largest flea market on Sunday. I saw a kid peeing in the street, bought a scarf and the Prince soundtrack to the original Batman movie for only 3 euro. Be jealous. Be very jealous.
Ok, I left off when I was last in Feldkirch. After I left Austria, I took a day and went to Liechtenstein. It was really beautiful there. I took a bus from Vaduz up to a town called Malbun and went hiking for a few hours. It’s amazing up there, Read More …
I went to St. Affrique with the intention of dancing. Too bad I couldn’t locate the group. That was sucky. Now I’m in beautiful Carcassonne, staying in a small town called Preixan. It’s amazing. I’m off to Spain soon. Let’s hope my spanish comes back really fast. I’m having most Read More …
Crap. I’ll re-type it later. So, I’ve oficially been in France for a week now. I left amazing, wonderful perfect Gryon to go to Lyon. Much of my time was spent trying to locate my mail containing my replacement debit card. Couldn’t get cash advance anywhere, all of France is Read More …
Ok, so it has been almost a month since I have updated. My how time flies when you are having fun. So, I left off just before I went to Budapest. Budapest was majestic, really an elegant city. I did a lot of walking, saw some lovely architecture and went Read More …
