Just the other week I was lucky enough to be able to take a trip to the wonderful village of Villeta. Just an hour and a half ride outside of the city, Villeta is a nice change from the busy city life and the colder climate of Bogota. As I mentioned in a previous post…Continue Reading “A quick getaway to Villeta, Colombia”
Back in December 2014 I decided to try something new, something I had heard much about but never had the chance to try. That something was…. a fish pedicure. I’ve always wanted to try a fish pedicure, and when I discovered the Rufoo Fish Spa in Barcelona, I knew I had found the perfect place…Continue Reading “Fish Pedicures in Barcelona”
In the center of downtown Bogota, in La Candelaria, tucked away just a half of a block away from the main square, Plaza Bolivar, is a very old (slightly hidden) gem of a restaurant… La Puerta Falsa. La Puerta Falsa is one of my new favorite restaurants in Bogota. It is a total hole in the…Continue Reading “La Puerta Falsa – Bogota, Colombia”
The other day I was lucky enough to get to explore the very interesting Museo de Botero. The Botero Museum is housed in a colonial mansion in the historic La Candelaria district of Bogota. The mix of the colonial architecture along with the modern art is enchanting. The house is two floors with a courtyard…Continue Reading “Museo de Botero- Bogotá, Colombia”
Barcelona is an incredible city filled with parks, culture, art and history. The Parc del Laberint d’Horta is one of the city’s oldest and least well known. Barcelona has many beautiful parks, but el Parc del Laberint d’Horta (Horta Labyrinth Park) is different than the others – it is a huge maze. The Laberint d’Horta in…Continue Reading “Parc del Laberint d’Horta – Barcelona”
The night of San Joan by far is one of my favorite nights in Barcelona. (slightly beaten by La Diada de Sant Jordi) … but it is yet another tradition that makes Spain so incredibly special. One thing I loved about living in Spain is that there seemed as if there was always something to celebrate… some sort…Continue Reading “La noche de San Juan – Barcelona”
Back in January I was lucky enough to get to go to Montaña Quebrada La Vieja, an incredible hiking path in the mountains of Bogota. It’s a beautiful path strewn with tons of fresh air, greenery and waterfalls. There are no words to describe how beautiful this hike was. As I mentioned before, Bogota sits at more…Continue Reading “Quebrada la Vieja – Bogota”
A few weeks after my arrival to Bogota we took our first trip to Villa de Leyva to celebrate the New Year. Here in Bogota it’s incredibly common for people to travel outside of the city whenever they get the chance. People often say that the best part about living in Bogota is actually the…Continue Reading “Villa de Leyva, Colombia”
Admittedly I did not like Madrid too much my first visit (during my time studying abroad)… there were other cities in Spain that really captured my heart (Seville and Barcelona especially). But luckily I returned to Madrid with my boyfriend, dying to give the city a second chance… and during my second visit to Madrid…Continue Reading “Madrid, Spain (Video Edition)”
One thing that I love to do when I travel is to take videos. I feel that videos really capture the essence of a place and the feelings of a trip very well, in a way that pictures can’t quite do. I’ve begun to do for most of the trips I go on, I have so…Continue Reading “Girona, Spain (video edition)”
