My bags are packed. My heart is full. It’s my last day abroad in Salamanca. I woke up this morning and met the two friends I missed yesterday for cupcakes and tea to say goodbye. One of them gave me the sweater off of her back before I left and I will cherish it, not…

As the title suggests, today was entirely devoted to goodbyes, or what I hope are “hasta luegos.” I had my last class where we did a scavenger hunt in groups around the city. There was a gray, misty haze over Salamanca all day, but I kind of liked the way it made everything look sleepy…

If you read my post last night, you’ll know we were really worried about our chances of making the flight to Ireland this morning. Well, several angels and sprints through the airport later, we made it to Dublin. Essentially we only gave ourselves a limited amount of time because that was the earliest we could…

I’ve taken lots of buses to Madrid over these (almost) three months, but I’ve only ever seen or slept at the airport. Today, I got to explore Madrid for the first time, and it was beautiful. We started at our hotel this morning with the most fulfilling breakfast I’ve had in a very long time.…

Today started, as I said last night, bright and early. I didn’t get much sleep, so I spent a lot of the day in a haze and not feeling well, but I still really enjoyed the city of Toledo we explored for most of the day. My program took us there by bus, and I…
