Home for the Holidays
Hey everyone! We will be flying home to the States in 2 days and are both very excited about it. It was important for us that we were able to spend Christmas with our family & friends. As many of you know, in the beginning of December we traveled to Germany to see the Christmas […]
Best of the Wurst
Hello everybody! As you may know, Amanda and I were able to take a trip to Germany for a long weekend. After spending our first day exploring the Christmas markets in Cologne we took to the streets of Dusseldorf to see what these markets had to offer. The markets were very similar to those in […]
Christmas in Cologne
Hey everyone! Last weekend, we were transported into a Christmas fairy-tale while visiting Germany. It was a weekend filled with good company, beautiful Christmas lights, live music, food & laughter. To begin, we were lucky enough to meet up with one of our friends from college (Chris) who flew from Malta to meet us for […]
Je suis Paris
Hello everybody! Two weekends ago Amanda and I were able to travel to Paris, France, or as Amanda kept reminding me, the city of love! Unfortunately, as you may have realized, Paris was just one week removed from a brutal terrorist attack and the city was on high alert (as were Amanda and myself). Fortunately, […]
Palace of Versailles

Sevilla Cathedral
Hey everyone! Last weekend we visited the Sevilla Cathedral and took some great pictures and videos! We were lucky enough to have Mark’s brother (Matt) visiting us, so we were able to explore the Cathedral all together. It is the third largest Cathedral in the world and is definitely a must-see when visiting Sevilla! You […]
Teaching in Spain
Hi everyone! Now that I have had more than 3 full weeks of classes at my school, I have some time to reflect on my experience. Besides embarrassing myself in the lunchroom (I will explain later) and getting lost (8-10 times), things seem to be going generally well now! However, my school is a lot […]
