¡Hola amigos! On día 16 we had a mandatory trip to Tarrogona. We left for the bus, but along the way picked up a cafe con leche and a spinach pastry. We had about a 2 hour bus ride to get there. When we arrived we separated into smaller groups to learn about the history of the area. We learned...
¡Hola amigos! On día 14 I went to 3 classes, but with my new schedule they are booked back to back to back. After finishing them all I’m usually famished. I stopped at honest greens and got a poke bowl with sweet potato fries. I met up with my friend at our school building and ran into a group of...
¡Hola amigos! Día 11 was very slow. I woke up late and I just had 1 class, but I burrowed right back into bed when I got home. Being in Spain is amazing, but I am quickly realizing that 20,000 steps a day and doing activities everyday makes you very tired. On día 12 I had my first real Spanish...

¡Hola amigos! Día dos was quick because of how late we slept in and día tres was very similar. We woke up around 4:30pm and walked around the city until we saw the restaurant Chéri. We shared bread with tomato and olive oil, patatas bravas, and salmon with fresh vegetables. Everything was delicious per usual and the restaurant was gorgeous....
¡Hola amigos! Día uno was very eventful and considering I skipped a whole night of sleep traveling I was pretty tired on day 2. If you read the Día 1 post, then you may remember that I stayed up until about 5am on day 1. I do not recommend this if you’re trying to fix your jet lag because it...
¡Hola amigos! Welcome to the new Building Balance content for the next few months. The trip to get to Spain seems really long, but it went by pretty fast because I slept for a good portion of it. Packing definitely took the longest amount of time because I wasn’t sure what I would need there and what I can’t get...
