About Me

My photo
This is all about my transition from an American lifestyle and culture to my newest adventure, life in Spain, in the city of Palma on the island of Mallorca in the middle of the Mediterranean sea!! I moved from the USA to Cuenca, Ecuador, South America and lived there for 7 years before moving here to Spain in early 2018. I'll be recapping some of my day-to-day experiences (and mishaps) to highlight what it's like to live here....across the pond...as well as Home Exchange trips to exciting places all over Europe!

Home Exchange - Christmas in Dubrovnik - Part 3 - Final Chapter

December, 2021

In case you're wondering, my Home Exchange apartment in Dubrovnik was:

  • 2 Bedroom/2 Bath
  • 2 floor walk-up
  • Smack dab in the heart of the Old Town
  • King bed (VERY rare), plus 4 singles
  • Big living room and kitchen
...and it all cost me....

ZILCH

HUH???  That's because I 'paid' for it with points I had accumulated on HE.  So, my only cost was just getting there and whatever I spent on food and entertainment.  Cool, eh?





When walking Stradun, I noticed a cute Santa ornament in a store window and decided I want to get it.  The next day, I went to the store and asked the lady how much it was.  She informed me it wasn't for sale...that it was part of the stores' holiday decorations.  DAMN!!!  I told her how I had seen it the day before, that my Mom, who passed away last year, collected Santas (especially Mr/Mrs Claus salt/pepper shakers).  She then said she wanted to GIVE it to me!!!  Noooooooo!!!!   She insisted, but I insisted on purchasing something as a thank you.  I purchased two champagne glasses painted by a local artist.  

Here's my Santa...



Here's the last video of my trip.  Approximately 10 minutes long, including over 60 photos in a slideshow format.
