Give thanks.

So lately, I have been feeling kind of down and still feel pretty drained from the Italy trip. I was away for 6 days, roaming through airports, train stations, metros (subways), hostels, and cities. Pisa, Florence, Venice, Rome, and back to Pisa. That in itself was exhausting… but when you’re traveling with a group… a group of girls, it gets a little more complex. Especially...

Spain, te quiero.

Thanks to my friend, Arelly, I had the convenience of having a familiar person to guide me in an unfamiliar place, easing...

Thank God, I had a lot more patience than I had...

Here I go...

I’m going to start officially blogging starting… NOW! :) Or I’m going to try. Here is a recap of my new location: Córdoba, Spain. I took Virgin Atlantic from LAX to Heathrow, UK. I stayed in England for almost 2 weeks! I got to hangout with Jerry and Arelly and some of their American and British friends. Although some days felt pretty long and bland, I really enjoyed...

The English lingo.

Here are a some of things I’ve learned during my stay in the UK. They don’t like to pronounce their ‘t’s. Car park - Parking lot Plaster - Band aid “Are you alright?” - How are you? Alright can also be used to say hello. Crisps - Chips Chips - Fries Fanta - Orange juice soda Mobile (mo bile) - Cellular phone Petro (Petroleum) - Gasoline Rubbish -...
