My Heros at the Winter Olympics

(quick side note: I know I’m a million years behind but this has been saved in my drafts and I’ve just gotten around to finishing it)

Let’s talk about the Winter Olympics… “what about it” you may ask… TEENS !! First, as you can probably guess. CHLOE KIM. Like HOW AWESOME IS SHE?! Honestly, she makes me feel so lame. GOLD MEDAL OLYMPIAN at 17?! I know I know, I’m using an excessive amount of capitals but she deserves it! You think that she’s done and her last lap is a victory lap because it was already determined she had won the gold medal but NO! She goes on the pipe and gets a 98.25! My reaction to how awesome she is…

Her tweets definitely deserve some mention too. Because, well, just look for yourself.

And when you thought she couldn’t get any better…

The second person I wanna talk about is Red Gerard. I have never seen someone so chill at the Olympics and still do so well. I know if I was at the Olympics I would be freaking out the night before! Definitely not watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine the night before my event, miss my alarm, clock, lose my coat, then win gold. Red, if you ever read this, teach me your ways!!!!!

Moral of this post, Chloe and Red never change you guys are amazing and I live for it! Thanks for reading! Till next post 🙂

I Bet You’ve Never Heard of… Andor…

Recently, I was scrolling through Youtube and game across a video called “I Accidentally Became Famous in Another Country” (press on to be taken to the link). The lady in the video explains that she had to come up with a Buzzfeed article, as she is a writer for them, and couldn’t think any ideas. Long story short, she write an article called “14 Pics that Prove Malta is the Most Underrated Country in the Mediterranean” (again you can click to see article). This gave me a stroke of inspiration… why don’t I do a recurring segment about some less traveled countries around the world and best places within them!

For the first post of “I Bet You’ve Never Heard of…” I will write aboutttttttttttttt…..

ANDORRA 

andorra-1.jpgI know what you’re thinking: “where’s this Andorra you speak of?” Well, I’m glad you asked. This adorable country is in the Pyrenees mountains right between Spain and France.

See the outlined black circle? Andorra is right in there. Cute right?andorra-map.jpg

Pal, Andorra an adorable village in the parish of La Massana Andorra-Pal-2.jpg

Here are a few popular ski resorts in Andorra

Grandvalria

Vallnord

Soldeu

If you aren’t a skier that’s okay. You can always visit Sant Joan de Caselles Church aka THE tourist stop of Andorra. You can’t go without visiting this! I mean c’mon it can’t get more beautiful!!! Església_de_Sant_Joan_de_Caselles_-_7-4.jpg

This building is hard to miss if you are ever in Les Escaldes, Andorra. Along with its jaw dropping architecture this building doubles as a spa (called Caldea). I couldn’t think of a better way to relax and warm up from the slopes for a day, or maybe just a couple hours. Andorra-Inuu-Caldea-spa-complex.jpg

At the end of the day, Andorra’s natural beauty tops everything else and it’s only something you can really experience by visiting (but I’ll post some pictures to hold you over until you get there)!!!!!

Here are a few nature attractions
