Sofia take two

After my week in Athens volunteering, I headed to Chalkida for some much needed down time. This is the beach town where Jen had been living for the past two weeks.


 After spending a few relaxing days by the beach we headed off to the airport to give Sofia another try πŸ˜†We only had about 30 hours to see the city and we were determined to make the most of it!

On our ride from the airport, our taxi driver insisted on us getting out and taking our picture with the famous cathedral. πŸ˜… We got to our hostel and they were SO welcoming, kind, and helpful. The girl at the front desk sat down with us and went over the map explaining the major sights and the best places to eat..guess she knows the way to our hearts 😍 We spent the first day just walking around, taking in the sights and checking out the local food scene. We were so happy to be back, and that it was so nice and cool compared to Greece!

That night we did a free pub crawl with the hostel which was fun and the next day we did the walking tour. Even though we were only there for a short period of time, we got to see some pretty amazing things along the way.

It is safe to say that our second experience in Sofia was better than the first. We would love to come back some day and spend more than a couple of days because you know they say..third times a charm

Gringuitas en Sudamerica

A few years I studied Spanish for a summer in Costa Rica, and one of the girls I met at my school has become one of my very best friends. We were in Costa Rica at the same time, for the same amount of time (I definitely think this was fate) and we just clicked right away. We had so much fun over those four weeks but unfortunately lived on opposite coasts so we never saw one another. One day, she messaged me saying she was planning a trip to South America and asked if I wanted to join her. My immediate answer was YES! Hands down yes. Did I care that I already had a big trip planned that year? No. Did I care that it would be a stretch financially? Nope! Did I care that I was a maid of honor in my sister's wedding weeks after I got back? Absolutely not! (Sorry Kier) For months we spent hours on the phone together; a mix of catching up and planning for our trip. Although we hadn't seen each other in 5 years I was so excited to meet up and take on another part of the world together...
