Pasta salad in Madrid, Spain.

My train out of Madrid wasn’t until nearly 4pm. So I stayed around the hostel all morning. And then I was starving so I left for the train station ridiculously early because they had food there. And I ended up with a weird cold pasta thing.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.

    Seriously, too many photos of food! I’m getting hungry – and do you have any idea how difficult it is to find good ice cream in Vietnam 🙂
