From Seville we took a bus to our last destination: Lisbon, Portugal. Luckily our bus experience was a thousand times better than when we went overnight from Madrid to Gibraltar, allowing Colin to rest a bit since he was coming down with a cold.

Get ready for a huge photo post! Everyone we spoke to said Seville was really nice, though I wasn’t really that excited to visit Seville compared to the other cities we were visiting since I thought it would be a boring city with not much to do, but it was so beautiful and picturesque! I [...]

Happy new year everyone! Sorry my updates have been sparse lately. There are always things to write about, but who has the time, especially around the end of the end of the year. A new year is upon us and I hope to do a better job of updating than I have in the [...]

I am pretty much the worst at getting photos on here in a timely manner, especially when it involves film, so I finally present to you my photos from Norway and Sweden! I upgraded my SLR right before I left and also experimented with slide film for the first time, which is exactly what I’ve [...]
