I have officially been back in the States for over a week now, and Madrid already feels centuries away. I miss it immensely, but I am confident that I will be back again. My Experience My overall experience was pretty amazing. I was able to work at an internship full-time for two months. My specific…

Saliendo de Madrid
I am writing this post from the bedroom of my sister’s apartment in New York city. I think the jet-lag has worn off by now, since I was lucky enough to arrive at JFK around nighttime. Surprisingly no tears have been shed: not when I turned in my last job assignment, not when I said…
Ganar Dinero es Diferente de Ganar Exito
It’s my last week here in Madrid, and it’s just hitting me as I type that sentence. I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end, but I think it’s perfect timing. I’m at a point where I am beginning to miss home and I’m actually looking forward to it! I’ll be happy to see…
Ser Más Tranquilo
I finally got to check another country off my list this weekend. I visited Lisbon, Portugal, and I must say I was not disappointed. Lisbon is one of the most charming cities I have ever visited. I just kept saying, “wow, this city has such a strange effect on me.” I don’t know what it…
Ser un Líder
I’m onto my 6th week in Madrid! I feel like at this point I should start mentally preparing myself to go home, but I’m not ready! I’ve gotten so accustomed to living here now and I’m even starting to see noticeable improvements in my Spanish speaking abilities! I have taken a lot of action to…
Cambiar la Mente es Necesario

Disfrutalo.” It’s been a little difficult trying to keep up my momentum and remember that there are still things here…
¡¿Cuándo comemos?!
I have loved every part of being here so far. That being said, there have been some adjustments I’ve had to make that push me out of my comfort zone. I’ve been learning a lot about independence here. I’ve always been a very independent person, but this is another level. I have had to learn…
Hacer Algo Que Te Asuste
My third week in Madrid has been pretty amazing. I fall more in love with the city everyday. Our program director of EUSA, the company that finds our internships and housing, is Almendra. She is awesome and very knowledgable about cultural differences and competencies. I love when she shares new information with us during our…
El tiempo vuela
“Time flies when you’re having fun” It’s already my second week here in Madrid, and there’s nowhere I’d rather be. I can’t get enough of the city streets and the beautiful architecture here. I am all settled with my awesome host family. My host mom, Vanesa, and her two children, Adri and Nico, are amazing!…
