Allison and Courtney had already planned a trip to Porto before they arrived in Spain but with a little discussion and the approval of their Airbnb host I convinced them to let me tag along. Even though I had to sleep on a tiny couch, it was so worth it! It has been so long … Continue reading Porto, Portugal: The Last Vacation of Study Abroad →

The last weekend trip I went on with my program was to Sevilla and Córdoba. I was in a funky mood this trip and missing home a bit so I was not much in the mood to be traveling. I took quite a bit of pictures the first day but not many the second. I … Continue reading Sevilla, Córdoba, y Thanksgiving →

In late November, I visited the Alhambra with my friends McAlister and Reagan. La Alhambra is a 1,000+ year old palace/fortress in Granada. It is the main tourist attraction of the city. Since there is not much of a story to tell with this post I will keep it short and sweet. The best parts … Continue reading Alhambra de Granada →

Monachil is a little town on the outskirts of Granada, home to some great hiking trails. Allison, Courtney, and I took a bus from Granada to Monachil one weekend in November. I think the ride was about fifteen minutes and the trail we took was only a moderate uphill walk from the bus stop even … Continue reading Mountains of Monachil →

I think the Sagrada Familia was the biggest influence in my desire to go to Barcelona. My love for cathedrals and the intricate design of this one in particular drew me in. I landed … Continue reading BCN: A Dream Come True →

Alexis and I met in Oslo, Norway on Friday October 26th. I flew into Oslo from Malaga, or so I thought. I accidently booked a flight to Sandefjord, which is a city an hour and a half away from Oslo.

The weekend of October 5-7 my friend, Kailey, and I flew to Amsterdam. We stayed with Kailey's friend Nina who is studying abroad in Utrecht. The town is around a 30 minute train ride from Amsterdam.
