2025 was my third full year of language learning. Portuguese and French were new additions, and since they’re similar to Spanish, which I'd already been learning, I was able to go (almost) straight to native audio. And they say there are no shortcuts!
This 2025, I’m here to share with you the caramel-dipped fruits of my labor, i.e. over a dozen awesome fall activity ideas for families – or 21+ singles – to put to the test this season.
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 itinerary is organized into six days spent in walkable areas so you can take public transit to the area, spend the day exploring it on foot, and catch a ride back to your accommodations for the night.
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.
