Spontaneity? Check

The first and last lines of my college application essay read:

“I am a planner, a mapper, a person who needs each and every second to go according to plan… I became spontaneous.  I now live by the Latin phrase Carpe diem– meaning ‘seize the day’.” 

Though these lines are referencing my ACL tear back during high school, this most definitely applies to Wednesday night.  Jess, Erin and I had just finished our visit to Museo del Prado – the most famous art museum in all of Spain – when our friends, Sam and Kevin, asked us if we were doing anything for the weekend. Though we were planning on heading South to Cadíz for Carnevale, nothing was set in stone. They told us they had gotten cheap flights to Brussels, Belgium and invited us to come along. Though Belgium had never crossed my mind as a destination, I was eager to get out of the country – Spain is awesome, don’t get me wrong, I just had a little bit of cabin fever.Screen Shot 2013-02-05 at 11.47.03 PM

That night we booked our tickets for Friday morning (tomorrow) and a cute little hotel on the north end of the center of Brussels. Spontaneity at its finest? I think yes.

Just a little bit excited

Just a little bit excited

I’m so beyond excited to get another stamp in my passport, go on my first adventure without plans, and just travel for travelings’ sake. I don’t know what awaits us in Brussels, except for cold weather and delicious waffles, even so, Los Chupitos are taking on Belgium and Belgium best be ready.

¡Au Revoir!
