Go Green with this HOUSE!


Okay, So this is my travel blog, but I'll be updating it like a regular onebe too I guess, now because I read the most interesting article...

If any of you know me well, you know I'm kind of an activist, kind of opinionated and at least try to be as "green" as possible (yay Al Gore! haha)...

but yeah, so this picture is A HOUSE!!! it's made out of a shipping box, and it's suitable for a family of 4 + a pet!! It can be folded up and put on a train and moved too! How cool is that!?!?

I mean...way to recycle!! holy cow!! I though it was pretty bomb to say the least! Just thought you might find it interesting too...

Pay it Forward Ya'll!

I have seen this on a few blogs and am super excited to start my own! (and super excited to get handmade stuff!)
1. Be one of the first THREE bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which then entitles you to a handmade item from me.
2. Winners must post this challenge on their own blog, meaning that you will pay it forward, creating a handmade gift -anything!- for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway!
3. The gift that you send to your 3 friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember it’s the spirit and the thought that count!
4. When you receive your gift, blog about it! If you are not one of the first three to comment on this post, you can still play along.
Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! It's all about paying it forward.

Saying Goodbye to Barcelona (Jan. 2009)

Our farwell dinner was at a restaurant over-looking the Mediterannean and on our way there we saw more sights, took a picture, and even witnessed a couple get engaged on the beach of the Mediterannean! What a magical place....

Dinner was bitter-sweet, we were all happy to be together but all knew what was waiting for us on the next morning -- our jetplane home.

Getting on the plane would be one of my saddests days yet. I was so incredibly grateful for the experience I had while I was there, and will never forget my first time exploring Espana!

Although I was sad to leave such an incredible cirt behing - it was time to come home and prepare for my next adventure.

My next EFCB Adventure scheduled is a 35 day tour through Europe beginning on May 17th!

I'm so excited!

Remember, there's no traveler like an EFCB travel!

Message me for more information or you can use this EF College Break CM Discount code: LUMSDEN3267. To save even more on your international tour!!

Barcelona, Spain EFCB Conference continued...

The next morning we woke up and got dressed for the convention meeting and headed downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast we headed into the conference room for the meeting and Mike, the VP of EFCB, was up first, he kicked things off for us -- what a great speaker! He got me so excited about doing great things with this company.

After Mike's portion we broke off into 4 teams and discussed different topics about the company -- my group included Campbell, Chris, Brianna, Valerie, Linsey and myself. We discuessed new hiring techniques for the campus manager program. I'll be honest when I say I was looking forward to sightseeing and exlporing the city more than I was the conference -- but I was definately happily suprised that I had a blast at the meeting. My group had some great discussion and each group gave a presentation which was awesome! Great job everyone!!

I must say everything about EFCB has been an inspiration and a blessing for me and I love the company.

When we concluded the conference we had free time around the city for one more day in Barcelona before our farewell dinner, we hopped on the subway and went down to Sagrada Familia, shopping in touristy shops, down Las Ramblas, back through the architecture of Gaudi, and even got lost in the city on our way back where we met several American foreign exchange students. (We made sure we were saying goodbye to Barcelona the right way!)

To be continued...(I promise I'll finish in the next blog haha)
