Meeting people, places, and my ideal of life

Friends are the family we choose.

Friends are a crucial part of my everyday life. I don't take them for granted and I cherish them from the bottom of my heart. Today, I've chosen to highlight only my bestest friends:

Inma, Eloisa, María and Elena. Although I have other friends, these girls have been through it all with me. They are so understanding, loyal, caring and positive that it's a breath of fresh air when we're together. We hang out on a regular basis, whether it is to study away at the library (because they're extremely talented and hard-working) or go a little crazy on our weekly Friday night out, no moment is a dull one when they're around, and no problem is big enough to hinder them from making me feel better. Inma's outshining quality is being a good listener, Eloisa's is restoring the peace if things get heated between us or other people, Elena's is not judging anyone or anything and María's is being the sweetest, kindest person ever.

The top 3 places I'd like to visit:

Munich, Germany is at the top of my list due to the fact that my best friend is currently living there! She decided to venture out into the intense world of financial independence and living alone (what we now ironically call 'adulting') with the added plus of learning a new language. While I am extremely excited for her, I miss her terribly and I can't wait to pay her a visit and see for myself the magnificent city that she keeps gushing about.


The Maldives have fascinated me for the longest time, its exotic beauty is so perfect that it seems surreal, its clear turquoise waters contrast with the white sand and the green palm trees in a way that seems like you're part of a screensaver! Although it is expensive to visit because of the flights, it is completely worth it to me, since I know I would come back feeling completely refueled and ecstatic about having experienced true paradise.

Italy, as a whole is going to be the destination of my next summer holidays. I want to practice my Italian, indulge in their exquisite dishes and uncover what this gorgeous country has to offer. You can't go wrong with the main attractions such as Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan, but I would also like to experience quaint towns buried in the countryside and dig deep into their culture and language.


Last but not least, to conclude this blog entry, I want to share what I would do if I had enough money.

When you are well off, it seems like the possiblities are endless. Here is what I would do if my finacial situation totally took a turn for the better 🤣

First and foremost, I would start a tradition of trying new restaurants every weekend, as well as discover lavish bars that make me feel part of a James Bond movie, without worrying about the bill!

Then, I would make sure to spend every holiday - no matter how short - discovering new places abroad paying no attention to the expenses.

Last but not least, I would hire a maid to do all the pesky cleaning for me. Superficial and silly as it may sound, cleaning is one of the most boring and time-consuming things there are, so this would make me feel so much better day-to-day. Talk about a good investment!
