The Ultimate Zero Waste Disney World Guide
Disney really is one of the happiest places on earth! I just got back from visiting my college best friend who works and lives thirty minutes from Orlando and the parks.

Photoblog: Gaztelugatxe in Basque Country, Spain (aka Dragonstone in GOT)
June 2018 Who else watches the HBO show Game of Thrones? I don’t want to brag but my brother and I have been watching the show since season one. Yup, we never had the pleasure of binge watching. We had to wait each week for a new episode and each year for a new season. I’ve been lucky enough to…

June 2018 Last June, my brother joined me in Spain to walk El Camino de Santiago. It was my way of saying thank you for a great year after living and teaching in Spain.

Photoblog: Stunning Seville, Spain
May 2018 I went to Seville to catch my bus to Morocco when I went over the late April puente. After returing from Africa, I got to spend some time in Seville but only for a handful of hours; I was only there for half a day before catching the train back to Córdoba. I didn’t get to see their…
