Sunny summer day by the river

Hola! I'm Tamara and I'm from Spain. I currently live in the Washington D.C. metro area. I have been here for 3 years now. I have also lived in Spain and the UK.
I am (slowly) working on my travel pages and I'll try to make them as useful as possible.
Things I like: travelling, the sun, warm weather, the sea, reading, watching movies, butterflies, ice-cream, playing games, cats, music...
I got engaged this past summer and I will be celebrating my wedding in Spain on July 21st 2007. I'm very excited!! :-)

A citizen of the world

Me and the world @ Hierba Buena Gardens-SF

I have spent a big time of my life living abroad (UK and US) and I love travelling. I really like exploring new places and especially meeting new people. My favorite city, so far, is San Francisco. I got to visit it this spring break and It was love at first sight.
Right now I'm living in northern Virginia, in Manassas (35 miles away from DC)

Me and my fiancé

Jeff and me!

My fiancé, Jeff, is from Syracuse in New York State. He came to meet my family and friends this summer (2006) in Spain and we did a lot of trips.

Some travel quotations:

beach sunset in Doninos

* "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." St. Augustine
* "There is no happiness for the person who does not travel. For Indra is the friend of the traveler, therefore wander!" Brahmann
* "I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost eveything." Bill Bryson
* "We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open."
Jawaharlal Nehru
* "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag."
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
* "He who would travel happily must travel light." Antoine de St. Exupery
* "I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them [...] Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER"
Mark Twain
