Just a small town Minnesota girl looking to meet a bit more of our amazing world.
“The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.” I pondered these famous words from My Fair Lady today as I walked 30 minutes home in the pouring rain without an umbrella. So no, the rain in Spain does not, in fact, stay mainly in the plain. Today was an especially wet, cold day, and as … More Rain in Spain
Another week, another adventure! This time our destination was Munich, Germany- or München if you’re using proper Deutsch. The 4 days flew by and we definitely made the most of our fall break. Originally, we weren’t planning on going to Germany at all. Budapest, Hungary was our #1 option, but in the end it came … More Munich & Salzburg
It’s been a couple weeks, but I’ve finally managed to find time to write about my trip to Morocco! It was another amazing experience checked off my list, and I’m so glad I was able to go. The trip started on a Friday with a bus ride to the coast and a ferry across the … More Morocco
This past weekend I was in Portugal! How crazy is that? I can be in another country for just a quick weekend trip. Another reason to love Europe. The trip started on Friday morning, when a bus picked us up in Sevilla. We went with a program called We Love Spain that organizes trips for … More Portugal
Looking out across the countryside from the top of a castle this weekend, one of my friends said these words: “Just a typical Sunday here in Spain.” I couldn’t have summed it up better myself. My time here so far has felt like a fairytale; amazing adventures and spectacular views are almost commonplace. I can … More Just a typical Sunday
There’s so much to talk about regarding this über cool city I’m living in, so this blog is going to be about a few things I’ve learned so far in my adventures. Not like, how I’ve learned that there’s actually 2 imperfect subjunctive conjugations for verbs and they’re used equally as much which makes things SO … More Figuring it out
Well, it’s hot here. That was the first thing I noticed when I got here, and the first thing I notice every day when I wake up. Coming from northern Minnesota, I’m not exactly used to 100+ degree weather every day, sometimes 110+. But with the amount of new things I’m experiencing every day, it’s … More Bailey Meets Sevilla
Tomorrow begins the next leg of my journey! I’ll be moving into my homestay, meeting my family and classmates for the semester, and starting orientation. As much fun as these 10 days of traveling have been, I am more than ready to be done living out of my suitcase and settle into a place that … More Traveling recap
Well, the first setback happened today on our 10 day vacation to Spain! And looking back on it, it really could’ve been much worse. So I suppose I’m grateful it went the way it did, but it’s always a bummer when there’s a bump in your plans. Yesterday we found some really cheap tickets to … More Should’ve packed a lighter suitcase
Well, I made it! My time abroad has officially begun. Exciting stuff. I’m currently settling in for my second night in Ireland. My mom, our family friends (Mac, Lisa, Morgan, & Brooke), and I are still trying to beat the jet lag, but it is 1:04am and I am wide awake. The time difference is … More Tattoos, Pubs, & Cobblestone Streets
