Amsterdam, Netherlands – Días 21-24

¡Hola amigos! On día 21 I had my regular classes and then ran to catch the Aerobus to the airport. On the way I grabbed a jamón sandwich from Masamara and ate it on the bus. When I went through security I looked like a rookie because I forgot to dump out my water before going through. I asked where...

Cafes and Brunch – Días 18-20

¡Hola amigos! On día 18 I woke up for a Body Pump class at the gym. I walked to a Brunch restaurant before class called Zenith. I ordered a caramel latte and a savory croissant.

Churros & Secret Bars – Días 14 & 15

¡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.

Getting Lost – Días 11-13

¡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! If you read día 3 & 4 you know that I moved into my new home for the next 4 months. I love my host mom and her dog Tato. The apartment is starting to feel cozier each day. On día 5 I had orientation for school. It was nice to hear about what the teachers expect from...

Homestay – Día 3 & 4

¡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....
