After hopfully capturing your attention with my title, I'll provide some context to the story: Two months ago, some construction workers were digging a tunel outside of the city in order to make way for a new subway track and they somehow dug through all the wiring that provides (provided) electricity to the entire northern zone of Buenos Aires.

When moving to any new city, one of the biggest adjustments is finding your "go-to" places for even the most basic things.

This halloweekend, while many of my fellow IES Abroad EU students traveled all over, I welcomed a visitor to little Freiburg. One of my dearest friends who is studying at IES Abroad Vienna made the journey to come visit me. It was the perfect weekend of extensive cheese-eating, spontaneous adventures, relaxing, deep convos, and so much laughter. Freiburg suits a pair like us well.

Living in the city for a couple of months has made me long to be surrounded by the green I’m so used to being surrounded by: the forests, the running trails, and the big grassy spaces.
