Benalmádena, Spain: With COVID reaching its one year lockdown anniversary in Europe it would be an understatement to say that I have missed traveling.

Ronda, Spain Another wonderful little Spanish gem located 100 kilometers from Málaga is Ronda, which makes a great morning day trip. You can even pair this with another city (such as old town Marbella) and make a full day adventure. We drove in our rental car but there are also daily buses and trains so…
Trocadero: Benalmádena We were told that Trocadero was an absolute must visit restaurant if you want amazing food, nice views and a lovely dinning experience.

Feurteventura Feurteventura is technically part of the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. I went for a week trip and it wasn’t at all what I expected at first. The first part of the island is completely rocky, cliffs everywhere and doesn’t give off the typical “island vibes”. There are deserts in this island…
Athens & Chanià Greece was my last spring break trip with friends during my Masters degree. We decided we wanted to split the time between Athens and the islands so we could experience a little of both the mainland and island culture. I would go back to Greece in a heartbeat. To this day they…
