I'm going back to Spain! I'll be attending the University of Oviedo, otherwise known as UniOvi, as an exchange student for the autumn semester.
España: Acto II
Barcelona
“What’s on your mind?”
Facebook asked me what’s on my mind… well, buckle up. I’ve recently been feeling like I’m simultaneously moving backward and forward. On to new challenges and goals, but back in the seemingly pre-prepared stages of life that make up cookie-cutter America. Or really cookie-cutter world. The ideal gingerbread man or woman graduates from high school, … Continue reading “What’s on your mind?”
Happiness is a foamy cappuccino.
Fernweh and I are coffee/hot chocolate/chai latte addicts! Just kidding... we have about 2-3 a week but wanted to compile a list of where we've been.

Never Have I Ever…
My first (and hopefully last) Spanish hospital visit began - funnily enough - in Sweden. Doesn’t seem to make any sense, right?

Spanish Hospitals According to Grey’s Anatomy
