From Granada to Córdoba

December 28, 2020January 7, 2021 Lauren

December 28-31, 2020 We had a bus ticket for noon to head to Córdoba.

Granada: Day 3

December 26, 2020January 7, 2021 Lauren

December 24-28, 2020 December 26th was our third day in Granada. We had planned on going to Alhambra, but neither of us slept very well. Our alarms went off at 7 AM, and neither of us wanted to get up. We would end up getting separate rooms going forward to help us both sleep better,… Continue reading Granada: Day 3

Navidad 2020: Andalucía

December 22, 2020December 25, 2020 Lauren

A couple months back, I connected with an individual named Gabrielle in one of the auxiliar Facebook groups, and we both wanted to do some traveling over break. We hit it off and decided to go for it. Deciding to travel during COVID took a lot of time and reflection. We didn't decide on a… Continue reading Navidad 2020: Andalucía

The week before was Thanksgiving in the US, although that is not observed in Spain. In addition to a much-needed break from… Continue reading Holiday Weekend

Reflections on the First Two Months

December 2, 2020December 2, 2020 Lauren

After the first month, I stopped doing a weekly day-by-day post. In part because I got busier once school started, and in part because things became a bit less blog-worthy. There was less "firsts" and more getting acclimated to a new place and new way of life. Now that it's the beginning of December, I… Continue reading Reflections on the First Two Months

Gratitude

November 19, 2020December 2, 2020 Lauren

I've been having a lot of mental health ups and downs and really struggling. Getting through it has felt quite impossible and each day is more of a struggle than the last. Yesterday, this cup of coffee was the only thing that sparked some joy. It was one of those low days, a lower than… Continue reading Gratitude
