Crossing the pond (III)
Having already visited the city of Caracas and one of the most beautiful zones in all of the Caribbean sea with paradisaical beaches, that only left me with one more setting to visit which characterises Venezuela - The Amazon rainforest. Venezuela owns a small part of...

Crossing the pond (II)
One of the things that I learnt whilst travelling around Venezuela is the extent to which you get sick of taking planes to go from one side to another. Firstly, I had already endured 9 hours of flying to get to Caracas, including a two hour layover in Lisbon. At that...

Crossing the pond
There are trips that only happen once in life and for me, that was in 2013 when, for the first time in my whole life, I could travel across the Atlantic Ocean to go to another continent. For me, I was going to Venezuela - not a very likely destination for the majority...

Horror stories and terrifying places in Lima
Hi everyone! I hope you're all okay, today I want to tell you a little about the horror stories which have been stirred up in my city: Lima. When I was small, I remember that the story which scared me the most was without a doubt the story about "Maria Marimacha"; a...

Towns, towns and more towns
It's been some days that I haven't posted anything and it's because I have been somewhat occupied with exams, studying and doing my work as well as a friend who came to see me... It's been non-stop! These last few days that I haven't had class, I've gone on a lot of...

Dominican cuisine (the first of many) A tasty delight
One of the best things about the Caribbean (apart from the sun) is the delicious food; a lot of it uses banana or plantain as the base ingredient. Food in restaurants: my experience in Adrián Tropical A lot of tourists look for ways to please their taste buds. I found...

A free tour around Berlin, what are we going to see? Completely recommendable!
On our second day in Berlin, we decided to take the maximum advantage. I had seen on the internet that there are free tours which are quite recommendable; they are called "Free Walking Tours" because they consist of only walking and cities such as Berlin provide this...

The last day in Amsterdam and the return home
The last day in Amsterdam The last day in Amsterdam surprisingly started with sun. We didn't leave our hotel until after we had eaten and when we left, the first thing we did was catch the tram to take us to the city centre. Once there and seeing as we hadn't seen some...

First stop: Granada
As this is my first post, I have to talk about the city that had seen me being "born", it's not the city where I was born, but it's the city that has made me into me, which saw my evolution into the person that I am today. If you have not yet been to this city, you...

Residencies in Paris
When someone tells you that it's difficult to find accommodation in Paris, believe them, I'm not exaggerating. No matter how much they tell you, until you get there and start to despair because you can't find anything, you don't realise how hard it is (unless you're one...

Strolling around Venice...
On this day, my mum and I left the hotel at 11am. It was the check-in time! We could have left the room at one in the afternoon, but to check-in "late", (late?! That's a norml check-in time everywhere else! ), we had to pay 20€ extra (or something like that). So, you...

The 23 most interesting places in London
Journey to London Hi everyone, one more day! Today, I felt like varying the theme of my blog a little bit, seeing as I was in London last summer and I know that it is a popular Erasmus destination (as well as being popular with non-Erasmus students), I thought that I...

Trip to Budapest (the finalé)
I know I said I wouldn't be posting any more about the trip to Budapest, but I think that I left some things which I wanted to tell you, unsaid, curiosities and the rest. In regards to the metro, I didn't tell you anything, but it seems the same as the one in Madrid,...

Trip to Budapest (part 4)
So guys, this is going to be my last post about my trip to Budapest. So, just like the day before, we got up at 8:30 to shower quickly and take advantage of the day ahead, because as the saying goes "the early bird catches the worm". After doing the typical thing of...

Trip to Budapest (part 3)
Well, here we go with the second day in Budapest, although in reality we could say that it's the first day, because it was the day that we started to explore the city and move around a bit, since the day before, the only thing we did was find the hotel, have dinner and...

Eurotrip #6: Athens
Hi everyone! Today, I'm bringing you the tale of the second "table top travel" that I've gone on (the first was Lisbon). The reason behind this strange name is that the two trips were planned in the same way: after eating, chatting at the dinner table in our kitchen and...

Hi everyone! Today I will be telling you about my trip to Lisbon that I went on this weekend (finally I'm catching up with the trips! ) with three of my flatmates: Andoni, Isabel and Monika. It all started when we suddenly saw a Ryanair flight on SkyScanner from Bremen...
