I'm so, so happy to be back in my "home away from home." My heart will forever be divided between California and Spain so being able to split my time between both places was very important for me. And I feel beyond fortunate that I now have the capability to do so through modeling and the blog.
So here I am again and this time, I have my good friend Jessica (Bon Traveler) here with me for a few weeks of stopping by familiar places and new spots. Our first stop was Barcelona where we explored the city mostly by foot, eating our way through the markets and cafes, and did a bit of sightseeing. Barcelona is always a favorite place to go, as the culture is incredible.
After a quick stay, now we're off to Girona > Madrid > Lisbon!
Here's a little look into my stay here in Barcelona.. Believe it or not, I really enjoy being a tourist when I travel as I generally don't get to sightsee very often. Usually, I have certain places to be or people to meet and then I'm back on a plane to LA before I know it. But this week is all about leisure. So as I sit here now, on a double-decker bus, with a map in one hand and a beer in the other, I realize, this is how traveling should be..
Finally, I've made my way back over to Europe. As you know, every year, I block off a month of two back home so I'm able to come over here for work and of course a bit of pleasure...
And after 14hrs of travel, I've landed back in my favorite little city of Girona. So far, I've managed to drink my way through 12 cafe con leche's and 2 bottles of vino (not all to myself of course). ;) I figured this was the best and most pleasurable way to cure jet lag.. Hehe. Anywho, Kate and I are on our way now to do a bit of shopping downtown but here's a few photos of my past 24hrs in Spain! Xo
