Granada, in the mountains of Spain
Granada is a magical place. The castles, cobblestone streets, and snow-covered mountains enchant. Not to mention the best thing ever, free tapas in all the bars! Every time you order a glass of wine or beer, a new plate of food shows up. We ate a lot of tapas – potato salad, “bacalao,” “jamon,” many varieties […]
Tangier – The Gateway To Africa
Tangier – The Gateway To Africa Going Back to Africa held so many emotions and expectations for me. It’s a continent on which a year of my life has passed; not a great amount of time but it bears a great amount of significance. I was excited, hoping the continent would instantly bring back old […]
San Sebastian, Nos Gusta Pintxos
San Sebastian deserves a post just about food. With 14 Michelin stars in the whole town, there’s no debating that the small city in northern Spain deserves its place among the food capitals of the world. Their staples are “pintxos” – Basque tapas-style small bites. These are available for lunch (1pm-4pm) and dinner (7pm-11pm) and range […]
San Sebastian
We were so ready for Spain. After struggling with French all we could think about was getting to a place where we understood what was going on again. I fell asleep on the Rideshare from Bordeaux and awoke to hills and green trees and houses with tiled rooftops. We had made it! San Sebastian was small and […]
The Bordeaux Adventures
After wandering through Paris for three days, we caught another Blablacar rideshare to Bordeaux, capital of one of France’s most famous wine regions! The small city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, fun university town, and a great place to depart for a wine tour to the surrounding countryside. It also has the longest pedestrian-only […]
Oh la la! Three Days in Paris
While in the States we found BlaBlaCar.com, a ride-sharing website that seemed popular in Europe. We tried it in California but no one seemed to use it. The train from London to Paris was almost 100 euros each so we were happy to find a rideshare that was only 70 euros for the both of […]
London, England for Hipsters
London, England for Hipsters Day two in London was much more comfortable and fun after a good night’s rest. We kept commenting on how cool it was to feel so foreign in a country that still speaks our language! Crossing streets, as expected, was dangerous. We kept looking the wrong direction and almost getting run over. […]
Mexico City Adventure: Centro Historico
We literally ran out of work around 11pm the night of our flight, rushing to cross the border. It was finally time for our long weekend Mexico City adventure!!! Delta Airport Parking is a convenient place to park on the US side if you’re going to the Tijuana International Airport. It’s only seven dollars a day […]
The Cost of Our Cross-Country Move
The Cost of Our Cross-Country Move We did a 6 day road trip from Ohio to California! It cost us about $100 a day total including gas. This was because we used Couchsurfing for all of our accommodations. When you are paying for a place to stay, travel in the USA gets expensive. Toledo, Ohio […]
Moving to California – Days 3 & 4
Moving to California – Days 3 & 4 After our long day driving through corn fields and spending the night in North Platte, we were SO READY for some mountains! It took about four hours to drive to Denver from North Platte, and the whole way we were looking out for our first glimpse of […]
