The last time I wrote was after my cooking class in Guatemala, and since then I am back into the full swing of things at home and work this semester.

Guat a Week! (Pun Intended)
Greetings from la Antigua, Guatemala! I am writing this from my Spanish school, Ixchel Spanish School. We've only been here a few days, but it's been fun!

¿Casi Tica?
Hola! It's been a while! Life has been good (and busy), but I clearly haven't been taking the time to blog much these days. As I've said before, that's pretty much because even the adventures just feel like part of life now. And while I know I have a loooong way to go before I … Continue reading ¿Casi Tica?

The temperature is about perfect, and there is a slight breeze coming off the water. As I was sitting here just enjoying the moment, classical music randomly started playing loudly … Continue reading Summering in Spain!
Doodle-Bug’s Big Day
Hola! Today was a big day for a little car...a car that shall henceforth be called Doodle-Bug! This weekend, some friends and I rented a car and went on a little mini-adventure to Volcán Irazu (Irazu Volcano if that wasn't obvious enough). It's a pretty ginormous volcano located in the province of Cartago, which is … Continue reading Doodle-Bug’s Big Day
Catching up by way of a photo blog post
Hola! It's definitely been a while! I keep doing things and saying, "Imma blog about this," but then I don't blog. That's a good thing, trust me. The less I blog, the more adjusted I feel! However, I still wanted to share a bit about what I've been up to, for those of you who … Continue reading Catching up by way of a photo blog post

My First Lollapalooza and Other Tales (Chile part 1)
¡Hola! I am writing this from a plane (and finishing it from my couch). This week was Semana Santa (Holy Week), which, for those of us who aren't so holy, is known as spring break.
