the summer i spent all my money

5/31 Edited to

... Read moreSpending an entire summer indulging in shopping and enjoying life is a liberating yet eye-opening experience. I remember visiting countless stores, drawn in by seasonal sales and the thrill of finding something unique. It wasn’t just about buying things; it was about creating memories – the excitement of exploring new shops, the smells and ambiance that coffee shops like Seven Brew Coffee offered, and the carefree days when money felt limitless. However, such carefree spending also taught me valuable lessons. I realized that while it’s important to enjoy the moment, budgeting and prioritizing expenses can add peace of mind. By the end of the summer, I reflected not only on the items I’d accumulated but also on the joy and freedom that came from treating myself. For anyone caught up in a similar spree, I advise balancing enjoyment with mindfulness. This way, your summer remains unforgettable—not just for the things you bought, but for the experiences and growth you gained.

Nicaragua - did you guess right? One of my favorite parts of Nicaragua is how affordable it is. Being in Nicaragua for two weeks was cheaper than the rent I used to pay in San Francisco…and I got to experience a whole new country?! Yes please. If I was in Europe, I would have easily spent over $3
