Tis the Season...

My parents just recently asked me to write my WISH LIST for Christmas. So I thought I would write some of my ideas on here:

 

1. Backpack for traveling
2. Day Pack 
3. Backpacking books: Lets Go,  and Lonely Planet
4. Money belt
5. Sleeping bag liner (silk)
6. Locks
7. A NEW CAMERA (to document my travels) 
8. More items to come...

A great website for all your travel needs is Travel Independent! 

What's on your Wish List?

Saludos desde Espana!

"Traveling through SPAIN by rail its the cheapest way to see the country especially  if you opt for a rail pass" (rail europe). Remember as you travel to "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" because Spain is known for pick pocketing so make sure to keep your belongings close to you at all times. 

FUN FACT: Spain has no liquor licensing laws. 

I hope to visit Madrid, Barcelona, and Ibiza while in Spain so stay tuned! Although, I do have family in Spain. My cousin Stephen owns a flat in La Duquesa that is located about 82 km south of Malaga near Gilbraltar. Here is a photo of his beautiful terrace. 

Visit the Spain Tourism Board.
