“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” It was with these inspirational words from Mark Twain that I made the decision to move to Spain five years ago. As an American girl living in Barcelona, I love exploring this new continent and discovering the adventures that life in a different country can bring.

La Ultima Semana
Wow – I can hardly believe that in less than a week I will be leaving Seville! The past month has flown by and been so fun - summertime, the World Cup, goodbye parties, and trying to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
Although I’m quite sad to leave Seville, I leave with a heart full of amazing memories. And I have no doubt that I will be back and will see many of my new friends again, either in Barcelona, Seville, or in other places around the world.
Anna and I are about to embark on the road trip of the year – we started planning this back in February, when we had no idea if we would be staying in Spain any longer, and are seeing so much of Spain in two weeks time (see the map below!). We will be joined by Megan in San Sebastian – I can’t wait to see her! We’ll be making a trip to Pamplona for San Fermin (Running of the Bulls) and will be in Zaragoza for the final of the World Cup, which I hope Spain will be part of!
Anna will leave us from Valencia L, then Megan and I will meet my parents in Barcelona before heading to the Costa Brava and Portugal. It should be an amazing time. I will be spending a lot of time on public transportation in the next few weeks, so plan to see many more blog updates!
