Barcelona's Brilliant First Impression

Barcelona's Brilliant First Impression - Spain Adventures: Part 1

This is the first installment of my three-part Spain travel series. Trust me, there's too much good stuff to cram into one post!

Everyone told me Barcelona was magical. I nodded politely while secretly thinking, "OK, but really? Everyone says that about their favorite city." Color me cynical.. they were right! This city is like that effortlessly cool friend who looks amazing without trying—beautiful, clean, safe, and buzzing with just the right kind of energy.

Trading Paris for Paella: ¡Vamos a España!

For someone who usually makes a beeline to Paris, I'm doing something completely different this time—and I couldn't be more excited. I'm heading to Spain with Mabel, my favorite person and designated translator, who graciously let me handle the planning while she'll handle all the talking once we land. (Thank goodness, because my Spanish extends to "hola" and enthusiastic hand gestures.)

Seven Months on Monjouro

Seven months on Monjouro. I had no idea where I’d end up when I started this, but here I am—forty pounds down, wearing jeans I never thought would see daylight again, and apparently sleeping so quietly that my partner keeps checking to make sure I’m still breathing. (Spoiler: I am. Just not snoring anymore. She’s thrilled.)
