Break.


One of the things I've been looking forward to since I've been in Spain is Spring Break. We have two weeks of vacation and it is FINALLY here!


I'll be visiting five maybe six countries on this trip and staying with one of my friends in Finland who I haven't seen in more than three years!



I am so excited to be living out of this backpack for 14 days and  I'm excited to see my long lost friend. I can't wait to see all of the things that until now I have only seen in movies. I hope this trip will be as amazing as all my dreams.

Ridiculous.

Yes, I do indeed fail at keeping up with this blog.
In my last post I talked about traveling abroad to Valladolid, Spain. I am in fact now in Valladolid. I've been here for almost three months now and it has been quite the trip.


Valladolid was the capital of Spain for five years from 1601 to 1606. The cathedral above was built during that time, but remains unfinished since the title of capital was moved to Madrid and Valladolid lost their funds for it. Valladolid is an interesting city, but I can't say it's my favorite so far in Spain. I've gone on a few excursions with my university and visited some amazing cities. The aqueduct pictured below is an example of Roman architecture that litters the country of Spain. This aqueduct is in Segovia and was used to bring water from the mountains to the city until the mid 1900s.



Although I've traveled a lot since being here and also have classes to study for I decided that starting a YouTube channel was the best idea. My roommate and I have been making videos here since January and I like to think that they are pretty ok.


I met my roommate, Eva, right before coming on this trip and now I consider her to be one of my best friends. She is just as weird and cheeky as I am and I am so glad that we were randomly placed together as roommates.
