Hi there, remember me? It has been so long since I posted here, but I wanted to share some pictures of this year’s feria. Last year, I think I disappointed everyone (especially Amelia) by not dressing up, so I really went for it this year! And although I never got out my “real” camera, I […]
Hi there! I wanted to share with you an interview I did recently on Real Food Whole Health, talking about expat life and living well. They just launched their podcast, and it’s a lot of fun to listen to. I really enjoyed talking with Amy, and so appreciated having the chance to share more of […]
Well, we had a big milestone this week– we passed the six month mark of living in Spain! It felt a bit strange, since six months IS a long time, and it also feels a little like we’ve been here six years– the first months of moving to a new place are so packed with […]
Alright, let’s talk about money. (No, nothing too personal!) I’d like to just discuss logistics, and give you a huge tip on moving money from here to there. (Or from there to here.) There are so many things about expat life that you just don’t know until you’re in the middle of it, trying to […]
Let’s talk about feria food. When you go to feria here in Andalucia, you eat and drink. People complain that the food is overpriced, but everyone is going to eat (and drink) anyway, since that’s one of the best ways to enjoy yourself in Spain! First of all, there are a lot of foods that […]
There is a lot to enjoy at La Feria– eating, drinking, dancing, horsemanship, seeing friends, and general merriment. It’s fun. But the thing I love the most is just checking out all of the Spanish feria dresses. I could go any day and sit in a shady spot and just watch people walk by– beautiful […]
Ever since we arrived here in Spain, everyone has been talking about La Feria. How much fun it would be, about getting outfits ready, about which towns had the best one… Feria, feria, feria! Of course I was immediately wondering what it was all about, and especially if it was being over-hyped.Well, at long last, […]
Hi there! Remember me, from before I moved to Spain, and used to post here all of the time? Well, I’ve missed you. And I am also in a bit of shock that it’s been six weeks since we started our life in Spain! Yet, this also seems really short, for all that has happened […]
It’s moving day. So, I am sitting on the floor in my empty bedroom in England right now as I type this. The movers are here, and I think I had expected to have more to do while they were here, but now I realize that I am just in their way anywhere else. So […]
Sigh… Saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of expat life. That’s what it’s been all about for us for the last few days. After almost three decades of goodbyes and hellos (I was an expat kid), it’s still really hard. Harder than ever, actually, because now it’s not just me saying goodbye. Watching […]
