Returning home after being abroad for months is tougher than I expected. I knew that of course I’d be disappointed that my life-long dream had come to an end, but the living at home portion threw me for a loop. You’ve explored the world (or at least a lot more of a continent than I had … Continue reading Home Sweet Home
Also more commonly known as Lisbon; nobody is joking when they use that epithet. I have never walked up and down so many hills in my life! I’m always dying to lay in my bed and look out my balcony to my favorite view by siesta time. But it’s all been in good fun 🙂 … Continue reading The City of 7 Hills
As I sit in my latest and last hostel in Lisbon, I can’t help but to look back on today and my semester. Today did not go as planned at all. But then, when does life really? That’s definitely one thing I learned this semester- LET GO. I woke up with my first thought of today … Continue reading 16 cities, 1 semester
Now the other half of the trip: Berlin Don’t get me wrong, Berlin was a great city to visit and I had a wonderful time, but I think that out of the 16 cities I have traveled to in the past semester (Okay, it’ll be 16 when I go to Lisbon in a week), Berlin … Continue reading Berlin
So I know I haven’t posted anything very recently and that’s because I’ve been too busy traveling around Amsterdam and Berlin for the last week. It was a trip that I planned back in April with my two roommates, and let me say, that it was one of the best trips I’ve taken this semester … Continue reading Canals, Bikes, and Flowers
Today marks 14 days left in Tarragona, which I realized yesterday when I went for a walk ,is a city that feels like home to me now. Granted, I still have another 14 days total of travel ahead of me before this incredible experience becomes a mountain on life-changing memories. I spend everyday doing what … Continue reading 14 days
Today, my two Italian friends and I made the journey out to Waikiki. No, not the one in Hawaii, but the other supposedly gorgeous and beautiful beach right here in Tarragona! Unfortunately, no one had told us ahead of time that it was a nude beach. We took the bus 11 from near the Roman … Continue reading Discovering Waikiki in Tarragona
Yesterday AEGEE organized a hike in Alcover for ERASMUS students. Even though it is only a couple days before finals, it was so nice to just get away for the day and forget about studying and work that need to be done. Overall, Â I think we only hiked about 7km, but it took most of … Continue reading Fuimos a Alcover
If you didn’t know, Tarragona used to be called Tarraco, and it was a major Roman city on the Iberian coast back around the 2 century BC. Tarragona celebrates its history daily whether of Catalan or Roman influence. Basically, the Spanish really just love a good festival and fiesta so they’ll make up any excuse. … Continue reading Viva Tarraco!
Today I went to visit el Puente del Diablo in the woods just outside of the city of Tarragona. It is an extremely well-preserved aqueduct built by the Romans when they lived here in the first century (B.C.). In 2000, it was named a part of the Archaeological Ensemble of the World Heritage Site of the city … Continue reading Puente del Diablo
