Tapapiés, murales, y Retiro, ¡por dios!
My routine during the week has all but solidified – Monday through Thursday, I wake up early and catch the metro from Delicias to Las Tablas, work at school until 4 and then teach one or two private English lessons, and finally stop on my way home for groceries or a caña with a friend. Luckily the private lessons I give cover my weekly
Un finde calmado e introspectivo
As I am growing into my routine here in Madrid I’m so happy to be meeting new people and developing closer friendships. Last weekend was a blast! All of the English assistants at my school had Friday off, so we united in Retiro to reflect over some tentempiés and vino. A few had to split off before to sunset to eat, but Becky, Sarah,
El logro de encontrar la tranquilidad
I started my job this week and the dust cloud caused by my move is finally starting to settle – I have found my route to and from work, I’ve gotten to know my neighborhood better, I’ve mapped out where all the good grocery and convenience stores are, and I’ve even started cooking in my apartment. Last week I wrote about finally finding an
Al final, la búsqueda del infierno se ha acabado
Wow, wow, wow. For the past week I have felt like someone took my brain out of my head, placed it in a Boston shaker, and has been relentlessly rattling it back and forth. Finally, though, I feel as though I can breathe – I have a place to stay! Danielle, Frank, and I had looked at apartments almost every day since our arrival
Bienvenidos a Madrid
Wow, the past two days have been a whirlwind. I’m completely drained but I have had so much fun! Danielle and I met up at the Charlotte airport on Monday morning and sped through security no problem. We walked around the terminal for an hour or so catching up about our summer jobs, sharing excitement about our upcoming adventure, and exchanging tips on life
Best of 2016
1 January 2017 New Year’s Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the past, plan for the future, and nurse the worst hangover of the year. Thinking back on the last twelve months turned out to be a bit overwhelming– 2016 brought a lot of fun, a lot of change, and a lot of growth. My life now is wildly different from what
Spooky Salem
I felt the leaves crunching under my feet, crisp like the afternoon breeze on my face. Above me were gangly branches, some still outfitted with brilliant oranges and reds. Calm and appreciation washed over me. I felt rejuvenated and empowered. If you have been following my Instagram at all, you know that I was in the Boston area last weekend visiting friends and family.
North Carolina Museum of Art
Raleigh || 2 October 2016 October has begun and I could not be more excited about it! Any day now I will be enjoying the crisp air, changing leaves, and not sweating through my shirts even day. I have even started decorating for Halloween– my golden skull candle is displaying itself proudly on my desk (as if it hasn’t been there all year) ((it
Final Boston Projects
Not Massachusetts || 11 August 2016 Last week was a big one for me! I left my 9-5 in Boston along with lots of friends and loved ones in pursuit of my undergraduate degree in my hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was a huge step for me– I have networked and grown as a photographer in the Bay State, but something deep inside
Brianna
Beacon Hill || 13 June 2016 Spring has quickly transitioned into summer weather here in Boston. Although I need to wear pants some days, everyone here is definitely in the summer mentality– walking much more often, taking day trips to the beach, sitting outside to read, and soaking up sun in community spaces. This is one of my favorite times of year– people are
