“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.

Creating Memories
Last weekend I went to Venice with Anne, Tanya, Tessa, and Lauren. This was a trip we had talked about going on for well over a year. With Lauren now in Madrid, we decided we had to make this reunion happen - and I'm so glad we did!
In just about 48 hours, we explored a stunning city, ate great food, enjoyed lots of spritzs and red wine, told stories, and had so, so many laughs. I left feeling full, sore from laughing, and SO grateful for having these ladies in my life.
Without a doubt, I think it's trips like these that bring people closer. The moments you experience together, the stories you share, and the laughs you have really create memories that last. I know there are moments from this trip that will continue to make us laugh for a very, very long time.
I think the older you get, the more difficult it can be to create new, strong friendships. I've known these ladies for almost four years now and I really think it's time, shared experiences, and some important commonalities among us that have made our frienship that much stronger.
I can't wait to see where our next adventure will be!
