Well Bocas del Toro..you did not disappoint. Well done, well done. Everything- the bus/boat ride there, the hostel, the beaches, and most importantly the people- everything was amazing. So amazing that instead of going home Tuesday like I was supposed to, I stayed until and got home late last night. Unreal, definitely recommend that people […]

And somehow it’s Semana Santa..which is the Spanish term for Holy Week! It is a very important weeks here, it is the week preceding Easter in the Catholic Calender. So it is basically a vacation for everyone here and most people pack on up and head to la playa!! San Jose for the most part […]

It has been a little while since my last post but that only means I have been busy enjoying and exploring France! Since I last blogged I have seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, visited the Sacre Coeur and Montmartre, seen works by Monet, Manet, and Rodin at the Musée d’Orsay, tasted French hot […]

I haven’t written on here since my trip to Italy so I figured I’d update everyone. I got back from Italy on the 10th and am now back to reality. Italy was absolutely amazing. My friend Christina and I stayed with a family friend of hers in Vicenza (they were American also.) Vicenza is a […]

I finally, finally saw a Flamenco show this past week with Katie when she visited. It was amazing, and now I want to become a Flamenco dancer, even though I found out these professionals have been dancing since they’ve started walking (which is not exactly my skill level). I never realized the passion, the intensity, […]

Last week marked the beginning of my three hundred hour internship – Whew! I can say that starting this week, I am definitely feeling the fatigue of the language barrier getting to me, as I spend the majority of my days at either one of my two internships. One of them is working in hydrotherapy […]

As of today, I have officially been living in Paris for three weeks. I already know how much I am going to miss this city when I leave. Sometimes I will be walking around and pass by all the amazing monuments and remind myself that I may never have this opportunity again. Every day I […]
