Was today a good or a bad day? Why? Well, it certainly wasn’t a bad day, but I should’ve done more with my time to make it better. I had a good class and met a nice girl from Hong Kong, but after that I went to the doctor. More on that below. Then I slept…

I’m caught between two equally real but very different feelings. I reminded myself today that this is a study on an aspect of being human, and I want to take “field notes” on this platform of the different thoughts and feelings that happen while traveling. It’s vulnerable, but it’s what I want right now. First,…

You know how sometimes things happen and it just feels like you’re on the right path? Today has been one big blanket of that feeling. I got up this morning to take my second placement test and I scored exactly where I’d like to be. After that, I went shopping for a few things and…

Today feels like it’s been a million days all squished into one, but it’s been wonderful. It’s another one where I don’t know how to share all of the photos I took. The only semi-bad/semi-funny thing that happened was when I slipped in the shower at my Airbnb and pulled out part of the wall…oops.…

On the bus ride to Vienna from Prague: How do you handle being sad when you’re in a new country and you only have a few days to enjoy being there? It isn’t the country’s fault. It’s just there, being beautiful, waiting to be explored, open to letting people make the most of being there.…

It’s a challenge for me to fit all of this day into one post, but I’m going to attempt it. Prepare to have your mind spinning, blood pumping, heart full, and feet aching–or maybe that’s just me after managing to fit 30,000 steps of Prague into one day. Since breakfast isn’t really done in Salamanca,…
