Barcelona

23 - 26 September 2016

A bustling, vibrant city with so much beauty to explore.

The consistently Spanish architecture is mesmerizing.

There is true pleasure in eating tapas and drinking wine in Spain by the beach with one of my oldest and greatest friends.

Lanzarote

August 2010

I didn't document my trip to Lanzarote well enough at the time but I do remember the feeling of freedom that I always get when I visit a place that is hot more than not. 

The beautiful little island with it's volcanic landscape, whitewashed villas 

and turquoise ocean was rejuvenating.
