FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Friday, March 16, 2012. So this past Saturday I participated in the Spartan Race…This craziness…. So basically 4 miles and some change of pure hell. And it was AMAZING! With that being said…I am sooo freaking proud of myself for making it through. There were several moments in which I was willing to lay on the side of the course and await death, but I pushed through and even scaled a major wall with my fear of heights. It...Bey, Me, D-...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. When Even Your Dreams Turn On You. This post is kind of short and silly. It's just that my dreams always have a way of fanning the flames of any hysteria that I may be experiencing at the time. The next few people that were called looked confused and started to ask, with growing panic: "But where is this? I've never heard of this! She called my name.and then I woke up. So yeah.its official! My lack of patienc...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Better Late.: Bilbao, San Ascencio, Halloween.just stuff you missed. So I am totally behind on updating my blog…I know, I know…I suck. But, to be fair, if I were typing all of the time, would you even believe me when I said that I am having a good time? Moving right along…. Even on a rainy day.it was beautiful. I really appreciate Spain for automatically cooking steak medium -rare. A river runs through it.

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. A Weekend with St. Simon. So this past weekend, on a whim and stemming from pure desperation to run away, Pixie, Swift and I hopped into the car (loaded with enough snacks and crap to feed a small country) and headed off to St. Simon’s Island. It is a little scrap of heaven on the very tip of Georgia; just a little south of Savannah. Who woulda thunk it, right? Swift all ready to giddy-up. We went to an aw...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. A Month Late and a Euro Short: Salamanca, Budapest, Vienna, and Barcelona. 8230;hell, I could even blame the very travels that I am supposed to be writing about…but honestly, I just didn’t feel like it…(when keeping it real. So first up in the recounting, was my trip to Salamanca (Dec. 6-9, 2013):. There was a lovely little garden that overlooked the entire city, a wall with a hidden frog (that looked more li...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Thursday, September 20, 2012. First Impressions: PART ONE. An Italian, a Black, a Jew, a German, some Spaniards, and a Texan walk into a bar…. Yeah I know that sounds like the beginning of a very complicated, racist, and beyond corny bathroom humor joke. It is in fact a pretty simplified explanation of my nights out on the town thus far here in Logroño. The Infamous Luggage: I should have known. Patient passengers waited to be assisted.

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Monday, May 21, 2012. I finally got my placement today (around 12:20pm) after much hyperventilation and anxiety. I will be spending the next year in.( ( ( insert: written drum roll for dramatic effect that only plays out accurately in my mind) ) ). Am I reconsidering Spain now? No, I didn't get Sevilla. But I did get wine country. And for this, crappy Spanish government.I Thank you! In my best Charlie Sheen voice: "Bi-WINNING! Sends ou...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Spain is Calling, Help is Needed. Saturday, July 14, 2012. So I bought my plane ticket to Madrid. I know.shouldn't I have waited 'til after my visa appointment to book this? Tickets were steadily rising and I couldn't bear to pay an arm and a leg after I've seen dirt cheap flights. I purchased my ticket through StaTravel ( www.statravel.com. As for lodging, that part is still a bit up in the air. A few ass...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Saturday, October 20, 2012. One Night in Zaragoza: Fire, Brimstone, and a Bus Station. The plan was simple. A group of 12 friends would get together and spend one amazing night in Zaragoza for the Fiesta del Pilar. Great! We arrived in Zaragoza at about 1pm. We saw some great sites. Beautiful architecture. Interesting alters for Pilar. Spiritual parades. The alter in the middle of the plaza. Fae (she shall be called because I consider ...

FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO'VE CONSIDERED TRAVEL.WHEN THE U.S. WASN'T ENUF. Friday, August 3, 2012. All that for ten minutes? Snuck this photo on the way out lol. I walked in with my handy dandy documents folder where I held each completed and appropriately signed item that they requested in the order that it was listed on their website: (Note: On the Miami Consulate page, under student visa, there is an option to see the requirements for Language Assistants). That is done and now I am on to the next long wait!
