ABOUT ME

Holaaa! My name is Kristen, I'm a college student studying literature abroad in Barcelona for the year. While I'm here I hope to get a good grasp of Spanish and Catalonian culture as well as travel as much as I possible can. I'm superduper friendly and I love going on adventures and simply experiencing everything (whether it be food, culture, music, etc).

PHILOSOPHY

Hasta la muerte todo es vida/Until death all is life ~ Don Quixote.
