I am leaving Valencia in a few hours; I am waiting until my 4:30 AM bus to Barcelona, reflecting and drinking a beverage that piqued my interest in the supermarket (no 3.5% limit here). A 5.9...
I live right down the street (my street's name is Suecia, translation = Sweden, ha) from the 55,000 seater football stadium, Mestalla. I can always tell it is game day (if I had somehow missed all of...
Here's an article about something I complain about on occasion: Country collectors: How did wanderlust turn into a competitive sport. Most of you probably did not read it, so I will quickly sum it...
