Today was all about Gaudi who is probably the most prolific architect that Spain, or arguably the world, has ever produced. The only memory I have from being in Barcelona 15 years ago is exploring Park Guell and buying a colorful lizard souvenir. So, of course, I had to go and see if it was […]
Today I did THE touristy things in Barcelona. La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. Word to the wise, this is where a lot of people are pickpocketed so wear your money belt and be cautious folks. Gothic Quarter I started the day with a free walking tour with my hostel run by a company called […]
Flying to Barcelona: I made it to Barcelona! I’m currently relaxing and just waiting for my paella culinary class to begin, so let me tell you about my trip so far. Also, I apologize about picture quality in advance. I will fix it in 3 weeks when I have my laptop. The ticket situation for […]
Think you can’t pack for 20 days in a carry-on? Blaming it on the season (sweaters take a lot of room)? Think again. I just finished my packing trial for a 20 day autumn European adventure, and it was a success! If you don’t know me very well, you probably think I’m ridiculous. If you do know me, […]

Although the city shares its name with Scotland’s capital […]

Tarpon Springs Away from all the hustle and bustle of Tampa and away from the busy, touristy gulf beaches is the quaint little city of Tarpon Springs, Florida. Stepping into this town is like going back in time and into an old Greek harbor town busy with shops and smells of kabobs floating in the air. It all started […]
Fort de Soto It was a long labor day weekend and we had all of Sunday to spare so I thought it be neat to check out a local park. A quick google search of nearby points of attractions yielded a very well reviewed park called Fort De Soto Park which happens to be the largest […]
Sunken Gardens I was browsing through Groupons the other day and came across one for the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. It looked kinda fun and since we had nothing else going on, we decided to get the Groupon and check out the gardens. It isn’t what you think as the name might imply. The […]
