Summer in South Africa

November 29, 2016 2 Comments

Well I finally did it, I booked my flight to South Africa for two weeks this July! This will mark continent number six for me and be fulfilling a long time dream to travel to Africa. When my friend Christine asked me last spring if I was interested in traveling with her to South Africa this summer, I didn’t hesitate in telling her of course I would go! We talked about going and what we would do for months. And now talk has turned into action. It was time to make traveling there a reality. We finally sat down and […]

Preparing for Greece

March 21, 2016 No Comments

Time to dust off my suitcase again, not that it has had much time to accumulate dust. In less than a month I will be on my way to Greece! After an overnight flight, transfer to a second flight in Germany, where my sister and I will meet up with a friend, we will be in Athens. We will spend a few days in Athens and then hop on another plane to take us to Santorini for the remainder of our trip. Honestly I can’t decide what I am most excited about as we plan out our time in Greece. Here is a […]

Even better, my sister and I will get to spend some quality time getting to know relatives we have in Turku! But before we meet our relatives, and before my sister arrives in Helsinki, I have decided to take a […]

Cave Flamenco

What a night! Yesterday, after touring all morning in Toledo, and enduring a 5 hour bus ride, we finally made it to Granada. Toledo was such an amazing city but that post is for another day when I have time to do it justice. Back to Granada. After checking into our hotel and dropping out things off it was off to dinner. Never in a million years would I believe I could get use to eating dinner past 6 pm, but here I am, in Spain eating closer to what time the locals eat. It may not be 10 pm, […]

Mercado de San Miguel

February 13, 2016 2 Comments

This by far has been one of my favorite places in Spain. The Mercado de San Miguel is a small food market tucked behind the Plaza Mayor. After walking around the city all day it was great to take a little break in this lively market place. There was excellent people watching, and delicious foods and drinks to be had. What I loved best about the Marcado was the buzz of activity that surrounded you as soon as you walkedthrough the doors. I met up with a few friends from our group moments after entering. It didn’t take […]
