Día de Acción de Gracias (for English scroll down) ¿Qué es Thanksgiving? El día de Acción de gracias, conocido en inglés como Thanksgiving, es el día festivo más importante en los Estados Unidos, cae cada año el cuarto jueves de noviembre. En este día las familias se reúnen y hacen una fiesta donde dan gracias. El festín tiene origen en el año 1621, en Plymouth (Massachusetts), cuando los peregrinos e indígenas celebraron por primera vez un festín de cosecha de otoño, después de que los mismos indígenas les enseñasen a los peregrinos como cultivar las tierras. Sim embargo, no fue hasta 1863 que el presidente Abraham Lincoln proclamo el día como festivo nacional. Personalmente es una de mis tradiciones americanas preferidas, independientemente de religión o creencias es una excusa perfecta para que demos gracias por todas las cosas lindas que existen en nuestras vidas y que muchas veces damos por hecho.

Paris – Bar & Restaurant Recommendations
[París – Recomendaciones de Bares & Restaurantes] One of the most dreadful things for me when visiting a new city is finding where to eat or have drinks. I want the BEST, but I hate looking. I want to recommend to you all the Swarm App, I love this app because you can check-in to all the places you go to, and this way they’ll always be saved on your profile, and it’s connected to FourSquare. After having visited Paris many times and since I moved to France, I have a pretty good list of my favorite Paris – bar & restaurant recommendations, I hope you like it!
Vietnam Food Diary
[Diario de Comida, Vietnam] The smell and colors of Asian food cannot be compared to others. And Vietnam is not the exception. When we arrived to the hotel, the first thing we did was look for a place to eat. And right next to our hotel, there was a small Bun Bo Nam Bo restaurant, maybe the best in the world (it was that delicious!). A Hanoi beer, and one of these bowl of noodles… nothing better to start this trip throughout Northern Vietnam. Enjoy my Vietnam food diary!
Christmas in France [Navidad en Francia]
Since I’m used to spending Christmas in Medellín or Texas, Christmas in France is… a cold one. But only in temperature, since like in many places, Christmas transforms cities and the spirit of its people. Cities seem to be a little louder and warmer than normal.
Bilbao, Basque Country [País Vasco]
A major city in the autonomous community of the basque Country and the city of pintxos! When we arrived to Bilbao we didn’t have an exact plan on what to do, besides the Guggenheim Museum. And that is exactly what I love about Spain, you don’t really need to do a lot planning… just pack your bags and go. The rest just happens!
Bali, Food Diary [Diario de Comida]
If you’re like me…you eat through your eyes ! And the flavors, scents, and colors of the Balinese gastronomy are amazing. One of the things that I enjoy the most when traveling is tasting the typical food and drinks of each place.
