I spent a week in Greece in May 2025, crisscrossing the Athens metroplex and Naxos. While all the restaurants I stopped at were pretty good, some of them had an extra-special something that set them apart from the crowd.
One of my favorite ways to prepare for the year ahead, or for a return to reading after a slump, is to go through my reading list and pick out the books I'm most excited to read.
Listen up, advanced Spanish learners! We all know nothing can be more frustrating than trying – and failing – to find good stuff to watch. That’s why I decided to compile an ongoing list of my top Spanish-language content recommendations.
This May, I took my FIRST international trip (since I was nine years old, anyway), and it taught me so much about what (and what not!) to pack. I made some good decisions, plenty of mistakes, and I want to share everything so we can all learn from it!
Born and raised in Los Angeles, currently living in Dallas. When I’m not listening to a podcast in Japanese or reading a book in Spanish, I’m making plans for my next budget trip.
