ROMA!!!

Rome, was amazing. There is no other way to describe all of the fun I had. I could not believe all of the Architecture still standing from soo long ago. In Rome, I saw the most beautiful sunset on top of Palatine Hill. I ate the best food = PASTA, PASTA, and more PASTA. The hostel was awesome and i made some new friends. All in all it was great! I dont know what to say about Rome other than how great and beautiful it was. It was a nice adventure on my own. I now know that traveling alone can be so refreshing and nice.

So... Solo quedan tres semanas en Espana! Triste Dia!!!

Ok, so now I am leaving soon and I am sad. I dont want to leave, but at the same time I am so excited to eat goldfish and cheezeIts. I know, it's weird. It is the little things you start to miss. On the other hand, I am going to Rome this weekend! YES! I'm actually excited to take a trip on my own, it should be very exciting. I want to see so many things and I only have two days too see it all! I have wanted to go to Rome for so long, but it is supposed to rain, so we will see what the Roman gods have in store for me. Life has been good. I have been sick (BIG surprise) and had a fever yesterday. Well, the fact is I like to go out, even if I am sick (well, not when I have a fever, I stay in for those hard times).



Life in Spain is so much different than life in the United States. People are so laid back, They have siesta everyday. They don't have to pay for Health insurance or going to University. It makes me wonder why Americans are so stressed all the time. I believe that some of it has to do with what we need or want in life that should be free, but costs money. That would be education and health care. People always tell me that Americans are always in a rush and so nervous when something goes wrong. I think some of it has to do with the fact that  we have so much responsibility in order to have the things we want. We need an education to survive in the world. Just things to think about. I have alot of free time. Not sure if you noticed. It is nice to live in such a stress-free environment where people take life one day a a time. I could get used to this. By the way, seistas have to come to America. Taking a nap midday and relaxing is the greatest thing ever!

Before I leave I want to:
- See Flamingo
- Go to Granada, Malaga, and Sevilla.
- Ride a vesba.

Adios Espana, Bonjour Morocco

SO: first off I am officially going to AUSTRALIA! Glad to get that off my chest! I will be rockin that continent February 23rd!


Last weekend I was in Tangier, Morocco. It is definitely cool to say that I have been to Africa. That is the cool part about being in Europe. Going to another country for a weekend, is totally normal! and I love it! The experience was one I will not forget. Having some sort of gesture for my attention was quite persistent in Tangier. Every other man would make some sound or try to say hello to me in almost every language to see if i would respond. The fact that i suck out in a crowd of people was quite obvious. I actually loved the city for the culture and its differences. Hearing a prayer call at 5 in the morning is not most people's ideal wake up call, but I enjoyed it. For the pure fact that it was part of how they lived. I thought that when people would not stop for us when they were driving a cab, but it was because they change Taxi drivers like every two hours. Going with three girls was an experience. I loved the cloths that women would wear. Some of them cover there whole body, others did not depending on where you were. well sometimes the best way to describe a place is with what you see....

AUSTRALIA! WHY!!!

So... my next stop for my adventure will probably be Australia. We just have a few issues. I applied for my visa one month ago and they are still having issues. Even after I went to get an X-ray, which cost me 40 euros. Now, they say that I have to get an X-ray, in which I have already done and had them send it to the Australian embassy. bloody hell. I dont know what else to do. Tomorrow I am going down to talk to my lovely friends. This should be interesting. What a mess. Welcome to my life... I will keep you posted.

I Cant Fit It ALL In!!!!!

So..... I want to see all of my Erasmus friends, but it has been so hard to travel while I have been here. I am running out of money. I have all my weekends booked and no time to see them all! I dont want to leave yet, but yet I cant wait to go to Australia. I am def moving back to Europe with time, a flat of my own, and in London. The best place to fly where ever you want to go!

Things to do in my life: 
1. Go to Australia and work
2. Ride a motercycle/vesba
3. See all of my Erasmus and friends I have made in Spain.
4. Come back and work in Europe (preferably London, despite how expensive it is).
5. Go to Bali
6. Take photography classes
7. Im sure I have more.... they will be added later.

                                                       Thoughts of the moment.
