While wandering around the LA Art Walk, I stumbled upon a giant bookstore and found myself getting lost with my camera. It was filled with old treasures and pages & pages of words.

Even though my address doesn’t end with Granada, Spain anymore, my adventures are far from over. Travel is my passion, and to travel is what I will continue doing. Very far from Europe, here are some pictures from the lovely Californian city of San Francisco. Enjoy!
4 Months, 8 Countries, 21 Cities, 13 Airplanes, 20 buses & 7 Trains
Looking back at my time spent in Europe, I realize that it really can’t be explained in words. Granada will always be a part of my heart, and I already can’t wait to return. I made beautiful friendships, learned to communicate in a new language & culture, and loved falling into the peaceful lives of the Spanish people. I learned so much over these crazy wonderful months, and I am so grateful to of had such a memorable experience.
Here are some of the pictures I took trying to soak up every single beautiful moment of my favorite city in this world. I hope you enjoy them!
Portugal was beautiful! I went to Lagos with almost everyone in my program and we had a great time. We spent the weekend laying on the beach & soaking up the clear skies.
Cinque Terre is a photographer’s dream. These five tiny towns that hug the coast are effortlessly beautiful. I have never seen such a colorful place in my life! The houses, water, greenery, it all amazed me. Cinque Terre is such a humble place. I could imagine myself growing old in this town. I stayed in a hostal here with five of my friends and we spent our time hiking, eating and making new friends. Despite the rainy weather we made the best out of our Italian adventure.
Florence is a breathtakingly beautiful city. The colors, the shutters, the river- everything is picturesque. I spent one of my best days in Europe here. It was my second time to this lovely place, and I hope to spend many days here again in the future. I traveled here with five of my wonderful friends and got to spend time with my boyfriend Cole who is studying in Florence. It doesn’t get much better than that!
This post is a bit overdue, it is back from March when my family came to visit Spain! We went to Gibraltar to see the rock Apes and it was so much fun. Gibraltar is a british territory that is located in southern Spain, so I got to get another stamp in my passport! I have never seen apes that close before. They were hangin’ out, and were extremely friendly. I even saw one getting a piggy back ride on an unsuspecting tourist! It was great having my family here and we enjoyed relaxing on the beaches of the Costa del Sol.

Prague truly is an amazing city. I spent the second half of my spring break here with my boyfriend Cole and we had a great time! The view overlooking the city from the Prague Castle literally took my breath away. I could spend my life on top of that hill. Prague was also filled with quaint little cafés, which I absolutely loved. We spent most of our time exploring with our cameras and admiring all of the bridges that run along the main river of the city.
It is safe to say that Amsterdam could quite possibly be my most favorite city in the world. The colorful narrow houses with the intricate rooftops and the winding canals tugged at my heart strings. I spent five wonderful days eating yummy food, taking walks with my wonderful boyfriend and soaking up every bit of dutch culture. There were windmills, tulips and even wooden shoes! Amsterdam will always be a special city in my heart, and I can’t wait to go back again already.
