300th Post! *throws confetti*

This is my 300th blog post, you guys! Holy crap that is a lot of blog posts over the last three years and three months. (So many threes!) I’m also thisclose (six more!) to getting 300 followers and while I know it’s obviously not the biggest accomplishment on the internet, it still means something to me.

To celebrate, I’m going to round up a bunch of different things that this blog and I have been and done and seen, different numbers and ‘fun facts’. And here’s to whatever comes next!

Places We’ve Been:

+ Taiwan – I didn’t post much about it, but in July/August of  2011, I spent time teaching in Taiwan.
+ Kentucky –  In October 2011, I took a road trip to Kentucky and had so, so much fun.
+ France – Then in August 2012, I packed up all of my stuff and headed to France where I worked on my French, had a rough time, travelled a heck of a lot and met some wonderful people.
+ Prague – I headed to Prague (by bus!) for New Year’s and even though it had never been a city I’d been especially keen on seeing, I’m so glad I got the chance to go.
+ Sweden – Last summer, I spent 10 days in Sweden, watched football, packed a lot of travelling in those 10 days and swore I’d be back.
+ London – Sweden was followed by two weeks in London, a city I’d wanted to visit since I can remember and it was so much more than I thought it could be. Absolutely perfect.
+ Spain –  And now, Spain. Where I fumble with the language, spend time at the beach, have watched Real Madrid play a ridiculous amount of times, have memorized bus schedules and metro routes and drunk a ridiculous amount of coffee. And wine.
