Special American Cuisine: How to make Apple Pie

~ Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness ~

Hey guys!

Summer is almost over, which means, Fall season is coming and with it, all those recipes that include apples and pumpkins. So today, I bring you a typical American recipe that you cannot miss during fall: Apple Pie!

And time flies...

~ You will never be completely at home, because part of your heart will always be somewhere else. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place ~

Hey guys! I'm back!!

In today's post, I am going to talk a little bit about how was my life after my return to Spain. 

Bye New York. Welcome back!

~ You build a life in 17 years, leave it for 10 months. Then you build a life for 10 months and leave it forever. Which one is harder? ~

And that is the question that I have been asking myself the last weeks...

Two Months Later...

"Homesick"

Homesickness is just a state of mind for me. I'm always missing someone or someplace or something; I'm always trying to get back to some imaginary somewhere. My life has been one long longing.

Today, I felt a great emptiness... Today, I was watching a TV show based in New York, and tears came to my eyes. Every time I saw a place I had visited, memories would beat me. 

This Sunday, it would be a year since I flew to the US, but unfortunately, I am not there anymore... In a few days also, it would be two months since I left the US. 

I am sorry if I did not write any post since june. I was so busy during the summer, and I knew, if I started writing a new post about my last days, I would cry. But do not worry, I will find the strength that I need and finish my post.

Thanks to this exchange year, I have met wonderful people. Without them, my year wouldn't have been the same.

Let me tell you, that you will never be forgotten.

Squad, friends and some teachers, you will be always in my heart, and I know, I will be back in Mount Vernon with you all.

Love you always and don't forget this: it's not a good-bye, it's a see you later.

Love always,

Nereu

Hey everyone!

In the last 3 weeks, a lot of things happened in my life.

How to make the perfect luggage

   Con la llegada del mes de agosto, llegan los nervios y las ganas de llegar a USA, pero también llega la gran duda de todos... ¿cómo hago una maleta para 10 meses?

Living a Summer's Dream

"The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever".

   En esta entrada, os voy a contar cómo están yendo mis vacaciones de verano.

  

  Tras volver de Madrid, he estado viendo mucho la tele, leyendo un poco y quedando con algunos amigos. Pero no solo hice eso. También he ido a la playa y el primer día... me he quemado toda. ¡Era horrible! No podía vestir vaqueros y si el sol o alguna otra fuente de calor me llegaba a las piernas, me empezaban a arder... Pero ahora estoy mejor ><

  A principios de mes, unos amigos míos de las Rías Bajas, me han hecho una fiesta sorpresa de cumpleaños. Ese fin de semana se me hizo muy corto, pero lo he aprovechado al máximo.

Welcome to New York, USA!

"Un destino. Lo más esperado por todos los becarios. Un destino. Algo que muy pocos tienen ya"

Tras saber que había sido seleccionada para ser parte del programa de becas, la pregunta que no paraba de dar vueltas en mi cabeza era a dónde iría y cuándo me lo dirían.

Durante casi dos meses, la espera se me hacía cada vez más cuesta arriba. Los destinos iban apareciendo y yo seguía huerfanita (manera en la que nos llamamos los becarios que aún no tienen familia). 

El tiempo pasaba y mi madre no paraba de decirme que iba a ser de las últimas en recibir familia, mientras mi padre decía lo opuesto: él estaba seguro de que tendría una familia antes de ir a la reunión de becarios de Madrid.

Mi temor a no tener familia iba creciendo con el paso del tiempo... ¿Y si nunca me daban un destino? ¿Y si iba a Madrid y era de las únicas en no tener familia? Pero todo dio un giro drástico de 360º...
