    Shkoder Day 1

    15. kesäkuuta, Albania ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Today I started my first day of volunteering at Travelers Hostel in Shkoder, Albania. I will be here for 2 weeks as an event coordinator and helping out around. We are also helping set up a new hostel nearby so that is extremely exciting.

    I woke up around 12pm after much needed sleep and I met some of the workers that I will be spending my days with. Everyone has been soooo nice! I then went and got pizza with Amete (a volunteer that I’ll be with the whole time) and Anika (I was her replacement as she was leaving the next day), we found a great restaurant and had a blast!

    After we went back and Anika took a nap and Amete and I rode bikes to the other hostel to help paint and work on the room with Enes and xhulio (the owners). We worked for about 2 hours and even got fresh fruit from the trees to snack on.

    That evening we went back and played games and hangout for the evening.    Lue lisää

    Madrid to Tirana

    14. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    This was my last day in Madrid so I had Churros of course and watched tv with Laura in the morning and then in the evening I went and saw Andrès my first exchange student. We ate food and played racket ball with his friends for a few hours before he took me to the airport for my 10pm flight to Tirana, Albania. I got to Tirana at 1:30 am and took an hour taxi to Skoder where I am staying for 2 weeks volunteering. When I arrived it was 3:30 am and reception was closed so I snuck in through the roof entrance and slept on the couch until 7am when Xhulio came to get me. Once he got me I got a bed and got some good sleepLue lisää

    Tenerife to Madrid

    13. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    We checked out at 10am and had to be at the airport by 4 so we walked around for a little before taking a bus to the airport. Our flight was 3 hours and Laura and I watched pitch perfect 2 on the flight. When we got back to Madrid we dropped our stuff off at her house and went to her neighborhood center for a festival and enjoyed live music together for my last night with her.Lue lisää

    Tenerife Day 6

    11. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Today we went on a boat tour to see dolphins and whales. We saw a lot and we even got to go swimming. I got pushed into the water because I was being a chicken but it wasn’t that bad actually.

    After I had a surfing class and it was an experience. We did 30 min on the sand practicing before getting in the water. I was struggling but I surfed for 1-3 seconds and that was an accomplishment. It was a fun experience that I would do again for sure!

    After we went back to the hotel to shower and nap before going out clubbing. We went out around 11pm and partied until 3am before taking an uber back for the night.    Lue lisää

    Tenerife Day 4

    9. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today we went to Playa De Los Guíos and got to swim and relax at the beach surrounded by Los Gigantes which had beautiful rocks surrounding the area. After 2/3 hours we went to Piscinas Naturales Los Abrigos and it was a natural pool overlooking the ocean and Los Gigantes. It was beautiful but I didn’t sweet because I don’t like touching algae with my feet so that a no for me. I did get some cool videos of a crab eating as shown in this post and I got to hold a super small hermit crab that Nacho found. It was really fun and the scenery was so beautiful!Lue lisää

    Today we relaxed and went to the rooftop pool to watch the European Football games first was France and Germany and France won coming in 3rd. The second was Spain and Portugal and Portugal won by a penalty shootout… it was insane!

    That evening we went to a Holi festival and I know it’s in March but for some reason it was celebrated in June here but aye it was fun! I wanted to look colorful and I did!

    After I showered and got most but not all of the powder off of me I went and played mini golf with Sandra and Nacho. Sandra won the first round and I won the second… it was very intense and funny.    Lue lisää

    Tenerife Day 2

    7. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    I woke up last today of course at 11 today and we made sandwiches and got ready to go to the beach. On the way to the beach I saw a hedge hog and it was sooo cute so it is now called Sonic and I check on it daily. We walked about 20 minutes to a market and I got a cool ring that’s a star fish. We then walked about 15 more minutes to the beach and set up shop to get tan and eat sandwiches.

    We ate and I showed nacho and Laura how to play shit head and then nacho rage quit after he lost twice. The water was too cold for my liking so I didn’t swim. We stayed for like 2 hours and then Laura, Gabriel, and I left and took a bus to get back and Sandra and Nacho stayed. I wanted Starbucks so I went and got Laurita and I drinks and then walked back to shower and take a siesta (nap).

    We woke up around 8 or 9 and then ate and got ready to go out partying. We went partying and I had some good drinks to say the least. We ended up leaving around 2am by uber and I went to sleep and slept very very very well.    Lue lisää

    Tenerife Canary Islands Day 1

    6. kesäkuuta, Espanja ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Today we woke up at 6:30am to fly to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. We got to the airport around 7:30 and dropped our shared suitcase off and Laura, Sandra, and I went through security. I was dying for a flavored coffee or chai tea and I tried 5 coffee shops and no one had it. I eventually caved and got some chocolate powder and added it to an iced coffee and it was alright, but it did its job. Gabriel and Nacho eventually arrived and met with us. Our flight was slightly delayed, but eventually we got to board the flight. We sat there for awhile and then 2 girls wanted to leave after the door was shut so we had to wait longer. But it didn’t turn out to be a final destination moment so it was okay.

    The plane eventually took off and the 3 hour flight began. I was in a middle seat and I slept maybe 30 minutes so I just went through photos and played games. We eventually landed around 1:30pm and then went on a hunt for a rental car that is automatic since I can’t drive manual. We weren’t able to get a car though because Laura is only 19 and has only been driving for 9 months. I could drive but I would be the only one driving so we said F it and got a 2 hour bus to the south to our accommodation.

    We eventually arrived and on the walk up we decided to get Burger King before walking to our accommodation. After we checked in and it is a beautiful stay with a perfect sunset view on the patio. After a little we went to the grocery story to get food and then went back to shower and eat pizza. We were going to go out and party but we were all tired so we decided to stay in and get some sleep for the night.    Lue lisää

    Madrid Day 2-3

    4.–6. kesäk., Espanja ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    The next day I went with Laura to get a card for the city so it is only 8 euros a month for unlimited use. Got that and went home to watch the rest of the movie and eat lunch. I then took the metro to see Elena and have a sleepover with her.

    Elena and I met in Moncloa and then went to her house to drop my stuff off. Her dad was coming home from work so he offered to drive us to her friends house for the evening, where we made açaí bowls and spent time together.

    After we met with Daniella and Carlotta and got drinks and tapas. We then went back to Elena’s to bed rot and watch tik toks before bed haha.

    The next morning we went to another friends house to tan and swim. It was too cold to swim so we just tanned and ate snacks. After it was time to go back to Elena’s to eat lunch and she cooked me rice and eggs which I have missed soooo much since I couldn’t eat either in Africa because it is high risk for food poisoning. After eating her father drove me to Laura’s home and my girls finally met each other it made me so so so happy.

    That evening at Laura’s we watched Ginny and Georgia and then it was time to watch the Football game (soccer). It was Spain against France … vamos España they won!!!

    We went to sleep quite late and had to be up early at 630 for our flight to Tenerife.    Lue lisää
