I made my first big solo trip two weekends ago to San Sebastian, Spain for their annual film festival. The city is absolutely gorgeous; once the beach getaway for the royal family, it remains a ritzy vacation spot, but also a hangout for Basque surf bums.
While I certainly had some butterflies in my stomach about traveling alone, everything went fine. The weirdest thing about going solo is eating -- although luckily, I was saved by tapas and bounced from one café to another and only eating one tapa at each.
Last weekend, I finally met up with my friends who's studying in Menton for a weekend in Avignon. While the weather was gorgeous, it was colder than we thought!
And now I'm planning a weekend away in Torino, Italy. I miss Italy so much and now that I'm surrounded by French people 24/7, I zone in on Italians the way I used to with French people back home in the States. I've met some lovely students from Bologna at the university, so hopefully I'll be able to continue practicing my italian with them.
