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.

Catalonia.
I look back at these photos and for the life of me, I cannot remember the colors of these cities being so vibrant and yet all I see are deep blues and bright pinks and royal purples and once again I fall in love with the region of Catalonia. After our skydiving adventure and too… Continue reading Catalonia.
Skydiving!
Call it crazy (I did as I was signing my name to the consent form), but soon enough I found myself climbing aboard a small plane that would take us to 14,000 feet so that we could jump from it(!!!!). Chus had long talked about going skydiving and while we were unable to make it… Continue reading Skydiving!
Roomie Reunion in Arlington, VA.
About a month ago, I took a small plane to a town I had never been to to visit with my dear friend (and former roommate). It was planned a few months before that, when we both knew we would have left the island and summer would be in full swing and we would want… Continue reading Roomie Reunion in Arlington, VA.
North, East, West.
No, I didn’t forget to include South in my title. Over the weekend I packed a picnic lunch and a beach towel and headed to the North, East, and West parts of Mallorca to catch some rays and grow in gratitude for this little island. Exploring over the weekend left me in awe that I… Continue reading North, East, West.
Pintxos & Funiculars & The Sea In Between.
After what seemed to be an unusually hard couple of days for myself and a handful of my closest people last week, it was fitting that Simone and I had a trip planned to distract ourselves and get a change of scenery. Yes, I know, it hasn’t been all that long since I experienced a change… Continue reading Pintxos & Funiculars & The Sea In Between.
Soria, Spain.
Throwing it back to a trip I took at the beginning of March to a trip I took to Soria, which is a town two hours north of Madrid. This trip seems so long ago and yet it was not even two months ago. Time is seemingly folding over on itself and with the arrival of… Continue reading Soria, Spain.
Straight Chillin’ in Mallorca.
This post goes out to Celia and Melina, who reminded me many a times in their short stay that we were straight chillin’ in Mallorca, which is to say that we have it really good on this little island. And what a treat to be able to show the girls what I love most about… Continue reading Straight Chillin’ in Mallorca.
Barcelona.
Prior to taking off for Tenerife, I had a layover in Barcelona and a few days prior I had this idea that perhaps Simone would like to come along for a day trip with me. And lucky for me, she was up for a little adventuring so on a grey Thursday, we found ourselves in… Continue reading Barcelona.
St. Pat’s Day & Memories.
It’s St Patrick’s Day and I’m feeling a little reminiscent of the ways I celebrated in the years past. During my time at Michigan State University, St. Patrick’s Day was always looked on with excitement. The last two years that I spent in East Lansing as a student I lived with Ann and Kaley in an apartment… Continue reading St. Pat’s Day & Memories.
