Hi friends! This blog will be all about all of the preparations that Tim and I have done to get ready for Europe and what we’ve learned along the way! I’m going to jump right in!

The very first thing we learned was that if you want to get cheap flight tickets, then you have to WAIT and research and pray a little lol. When we first started looking at tickets to Belgium (from Phoenix) the tickets were around $1300. But Tim and I had heard somewhere that airline ticket prices go up and down. We researched, read a few travel blogs and learned that the best time to buy a ticket to go abroad is 1.5-2 months before the trip. So Tim and I waited patiently, and luckily Tim held me back when I wanted to buy the tickets at $890 because I thought that was the cheapest they would get. The next few days, we got super lucky andwere able to buy our tickets to Europe for $650!!! So that’s the advice, keep watching the prices and buy when you think it’s right.

Hi friends! This week’s blog is going to be all about the 2015 Professional Bull Riders World Finals and my experience this weekend in Las Vegas! So my weekend trip to Vegas was completely spontaneous! My friend Yamilloski literally texted me a few days before asking if I wanted to join her at the PBR 2015 World Finals and since I’m so enthusiastic about life, I cancelled all of my plans for that weekend (which was quite a bit) and drove to Vegas with her. Luckily, I had recently purchased a pair of cowboy boots so I was basically ready for the weekend. Yamilloski and I start driving to Las Vegas and as usual we are listening to reggaeton and bachata lol. We get a little hungry on our way to Vegas so we stopped to grab something quick to eat (I get Subway and Yamillosky gets Chipotle) 🙁

Hi friends! I’m going to be a little philosophical this week. This week, I’ve been noticing the little ways in which life can be funny. I’ve seen so many things just fall into place, and a lot of things have started to finally make sense after not making sense for a very long time. I’ve seen how sometimes if you are at work and you are missing one critical piece of information, you just cannot continue and at the time you may not know that you are missing this piece of information. Life is funny because sometimes you just don’t know the things you should know. At the same time, sometimes not knowing a piece of information is what makes life worthwhile. It’s what makes life exciting and what makes you have some spontaneous moments in your life.

Hi! The moment is here! My website has officially launched (August 21,2015). I want to share a quote that has resonated with me since I first read it:

‘El exito es tener una idea, desarrollarla y lograr que sea de beneficio para todos’. It’s in spanish but it translates to ‘Success is having an idea, growing it, and having it be beneficial for everyone’.  A lot of people have asked me why I have started a blog and my main answer has been ‘I want to share my bucket list with people’. At this point, I personally feel like I have already achieved success with my bucket list. I had an idea, I am now sharing it (on a bigger platform that goes beyond Facebook and Instagram) and I already have people who are benefiting. I have friends and family members who have created their own bucket lists and who have stepped out of their comfort zone and taken some risks. I’m not sure where this blog will go but as of right now I am just very happy and feel incredibly lucky to be able to share this with you all. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the site! Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments! Thanks y’all 🙂

P.S. – I will be posting future bucket list items that I will be crossing off and asking for companions, so be sure to check out the News page often!
