A quick word on 2016

a quick word on 12:26 PM
How do you classify a year as good or bad? What happens when it brought you both the most heart-tearing moment of your life and the most amazing one yet? Sometimes things don't change for years and then you get everything -good and bad- all at once. So instead of listing the good and the bad, I'll focus on what I learned and...

A Weekend in Iceland

iceland 1:13 PM
A month ago, I decided that I’d make one of my dreams come true: visit Iceland. This beautiful place had been on my bucket list for a few years now, specially motivated by the Northern Lights. So, I embarked into this adventure with one of my friends. But sometimes life works in ways we didn’t plan. Super low clouds, extreme rain and wind...

Mighty Montserrat

The Montserrat mountains are located at around 1 hour from Barcelona city. It has a monastery and a spectacular view. It's a must-see if you’re nearby.

An Afternoon in Sitges

barcelona 5:33 PM
If you’re an Island person like me, or if you just love warm weather in general, then being near the beach is the best place to be. Although Fall is not exactly beach season, I went to visit Sitges because everyone told me it was a very pretty place. They were so right. I loved this welcome sign and its message. Sitges is...

Should you study abroad?

college 3:10 PM
Traveling always seems like a fantastic idea. Exploring different places and cultures is life-changing. But when we do so, it is difficult to grasp the real lifestyle of other countries when we spend there 1 or 2 weeks as a tourist. Studying abroad is often the solution for people like me, who want to truly experience what is it like to live and...

Museum Sunday - Picasso & Caixaforum

Sundays have become the day of getting to know Barcelona. It’s just great to be around the city, relax and recharge for the new week. This time I decided to visit some museums.

The Same Old Song

change your life 2:45 PM
I listen to people complain everyday. No, I do not work in customer care but it seems like I do. I myself used to complain a lot until I realized that if I didn’t do anything to change what was upsetting me, it would become a vicious cycle that would drain me. You can only blame your problems on the world for so...

catalonia 2:43 PM
As part of my master’s degree (which I am loving so much) we have visits to different companies to meet with their Communications/Public Relations directors and know more about how their department works.  Our first trip was to La Fageda in Girona. La Fageda is a cooperative that was born to give employment to people with mental health conditions. While the cooperative has...
