About Me

Hello everyone!

I originally started this blog when I gave up Instagram my sophomore year of college for Lent. It was a way for me to have a creative outlet, without being so obsessed with likes and comments. 

Now, I'm a recent graduate from Saint Anselm College, and I'm trying to figure out where life is going to take me!

I've always had a love of writing, and this space gives me a place to express my ideas, and do something I love doing :)

Going from lost to a local

Image
Before studying abroad, I have never left the U.S., let alone the East Coast. So, I knew packing my bag to travel halfway across the world for four months was going to be a challenge. Yet I did not know that in the first day my flight would be canceled, I would be stranded in the airport and left to figure out how to get to my hotel alone. To top it off the taxi's in Madrid went on strike. Needless to say, the first two days of my study abroad experience were not the best. Toldeo, Spain Although my first days in Spain did not go as planned, I knew that I had to do my best to adjust to this new country. Here’s my tips on going from lost to a local: 1)     Go with the flow: When traveling things change unexpectedly: one moment you are prepared to board your flight, the next it is canceled. When things like this happen, it is important to just remain calm and see what happens next. If you are lucky (like I was) the airline will be able to put you on a new flight. Just ...

Today's Grace

I just wanted to share some moments of grace from today :) This time of quarantine has been particularly hard for my little brother, Zack. I mean imagine being a 12 year old boy confined to the house with two older sisters... who want very little to do with you. One day he came into my room to chat, and I asked him if he was okay. His response broke my heart, "mentally I'm not ok from being in quarantine for so long." That was a literal kick in the gut, to see my happy go lucky little brother so broken down and dejected.  However, today was a different story. Today he came bounding in my room exclaiming, "I'm so happy!" I asked him why and he explained that, "this could not have been a better day." Let me tell you, I was smiling from ear to ear as he detailed the day he had. It was one of the best feelings in the world that he was so happy. I felt like the Holy Spirit came bursting into the room with him-- it was a textbook grace moment.  A lovely ...

Sweet Serendipity

Hello everyone! I'm a little late on writing about my travels. I have been very busy with midterms and traveling -- not a pleasant mix I should add. In this post I will talk about the serendipity I encountered while traveling a few weeks ago. Ponta de Piedad On March 9th, my friend Amanda and I went to Lagos, Portugal. This was a very last minute trip, that we only planned four days in advanced. We weren't expecting it to be anything special, i t was just something to do, on a weekend we had an excursion with our program. Although, Lagos wasn't on of the cities we had our hearts set on visiting, it will be by far one of our favorite adventures. We took a four hour bus to Lagos from Sevilla. It was a pretty quick ride. We just ate, laughed, talked and slept. Once we arrived we made our way to our hostel. It was our first time staying at a hostel, so we were very nervous. It turned out to be a pretty nice place, and the workers were very helpful and friendly. After ...
