Felice 2018 a tutti! I returned back to Jerez late last week and am finally getting a moment to recap my insanely busy (and truly blessed) month of December. I spent a long weekend in Valencia, another few days in Mallorca, followed by a whirlwind trip stateside, and rounded out the end of 2017 in… Continue reading Roma.
A Season Of…
Deep belly laughs, the kind that leave my cheeks hurting and abs sore. Hugs given halfway in the doorframe because they couldn’t wait for me to enter fully. Warm days full of sunshine and cool nights. Rooms filled with friends, listening and laughing and cultivating gratitude. Electing for this life, getting the choice in where… Continue reading A Season Of…
Dubrovnik.
I have reached the end of my time writing about Croatia. As our last stop in a long line of cities (and we only had a week), Dubrovnik gave us our last taste of this country (until next time anyway). We had been through several cities, traveled by car, boat, and bus, and seen various landscapes… Continue reading Dubrovnik.
The Island of Mljet.
One of 1,246 islands off of the coast of mainland Croatia, Mljet is a small plot of land in the middle of the Adriatic Sea, that runs longer in length than it does width. Bikers can be seen pedaling up and down on streets shared with vans carrying people throughout the island. Similar to the… Continue reading The Island of Mljet.
Split, Croatia.
Our time was brief (and quite chilly) while in Split, but we managed to make the most of it by exploring the coastal town and all of it’s nooks and crannies. In the center is the old town, where one can climb several flights of stairs to reach the top of the Cathedral of Saint… Continue reading Split, Croatia.
Zadar & A Little Road Trip.
I’ve compiled a handful of pictures from a 24 hour time period, where we began our journey from Plitvice Lakes and ended in Split. To be honest, Zadar was not at all what I was expecting and I fully blame the weather. Grey, rainy skies really do have a way of coloring a city and… Continue reading Zadar & A Little Road Trip.
Plitvice Lakes National Park.
These colors; how does one describe the blues and greens from memory and the sight of photos and do them justice? Like no colors I had ever seen before, Plitvice Lakes National Park was a stunning pit-stop as we journeyed south through Croatia. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is to say it has… Continue reading Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Zagreb, Croatia.
A lot of life happening on this side of the Atlantic lately. I’ve finally found a flat to settle into with two sweet gals, we moved in on Wednesday and it’s beginning to feel like home. Except it lacks wifi, something that is in process, and well home nowadays is where one has wifi so… Continue reading Zagreb, Croatia.
Oktoberfest in München.
It’s that time of year again; where the streets of Munich are flocked with visitors dressed in their dirndls and lederhosen, doing their very best to channel the ways of the Germans. I was one of these visitors in September. And on a cold, wet Saturday morning, Alex and I ventured out early on opening… Continue reading Oktoberfest in München.
At last, Cabrera.
In June, just a few days before I was to leave Mallorca for Michigan, I had every intention of visiting the National Park of Cabrera. And my stomach had every intention of keeping me from doing so. Following a visit from my family to the island and Barcelona, I had lined up a day trip… Continue reading At last, Cabrera.
