I’ve been totally MIA for like a year now, and I’m so sorry to all of you who have been wondering just what the heck happened to me… where I’ve been, what I’ve done… I’ve been trying to keep up to date on comments, but it’s been so crazy! Honestly, I ended up leaving Spain […]

Liebster Award
I am so happy (and surprised – in the best way) to have been nominated for a Liebster Award from one of my fellow bloggers! Hilary at Oregonian Overseas, a fellow auxiliar here in Madrid, nominated me for the award that is given to bloggers by fellow bloggers to recognize their work. Thank you, Hilary! […]
Handling Difficult Roommate Situations
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? I think it’s a right of passage into adulthood that you must, at one point or another, find yourself in a difficult situation with a roommate. I have had more than my fair share of awkward roommate situations, and I have learned (mostly through doing things the wrong way), […]
Quitting My Job to Travel
I don’t get it… You love your job, why would you quit?” – Everyone I understand why I’ve been asked this question countless times. I’m one of the lucky ones. I went to college and graduated debt-free. I had an internship that I loved and it rolled into a career that I loved. Make no […]
Living with PCOS
This post is a bit difficult for me to write… In fact, I’ve made about 20 revisions on it and gone back and forth with whether or not to even publish it. Ultimately, I think it’s important to talk about. As much as I want to be a “tough girl” and not complain, I also want […]

How Do You Afford to Travel So Much?
If traveling were free, you’d never see me again. I see that quote a lot, and I appreciate the sentiment, but really, it seems a little lazy. I used to identify with that quote until I actually got up and did some research on different ways to travel/live abroad for cheap! Before I found out some […]

Before moving to Spain, I figured it would be a good idea to brush up on my Spanish (no duh, Gen). In order to do this, I had to think about how exactly I could brush up. After doing a lot of research, I came up with the following ways that really helped me and I […]
Top 5 Credit Cards for Travel
One question I see asked A LOT is, “What is the best credit card to earn points for travel?” If you’ve asked this, you’re far from alone. In fact, you’re in a giant boat with hundreds, no thousands, of other Americans asking the same thing. Hence, this inspired post. Below, you will find the best credit […]
Top Birth Control Methods for the Female Traveler
Let me be the first to say that I love babies. And (most) kids. That being said, I do NOT want any at this stage in my life. I’m a recent college grad looking to get in some life experience, travel, adventure, and money in the bank before I consider reproducing. That and a good […]
