About Us...

We created this blog for family and friends to keep up with us on our crazy adventure in Europe. Amanda studies in Ubeda Spain for four weeks and I study in London for three. After Amanda's done with Spain and before I get started in England, we're taking a week-long journey through Europe, stopping in Italy, France, and Switzerland to soak up the culture, eat good food, learn new languages, and meet some distant relatives. With no plans, no guidebooks, and no clue how to travel in a foreign country without our parents, we should come up with some amazing (or awful) stories during our trip!

Day 1: Today is the day I learn how to be an adult lol

Already I have experienced anxiety, excitement, love, joy, sadness, and loneliness (yeah, it’s only day one). Saying goodbye to my family was terrible. I made it through airport security but did get in trouble for letting a man cut in front of me (he read the sign on my head that said sucka). I am patiently waiting to board my flight to Atlanta wishing my sister was here to talk to or my mother was here to sleep on her shoulder; this flying alone thing isn’t fun. But hey, don’t think I’m complaining. I am super excited about the adventures that await me and know my time in Europe will fly by (fly, did you see what I did there-ab). I love you all and miss everyone! ETIM. YMMS.


Day 2- So after traveling for a whole day I am now sitting at a table in my new family's house. The house is huge and they are really kind to me! I love Spain haha, and definitely need to keep practicing my Spanish. Ubeda is beautiful and my first taste of Spanish food wasn't bad either (tortilla espanola, a potato and onion bread thing). I haven't taken much pictures but I promise to start. The day was really hectic but I got to take a nap in Madrid's park. It was wonderful to lay down and rest and think about my life for the next few weeks. I miss my family and can't wait to buy you all wonderful presents. Love
