It’s been about two weeks since I finished up the program and left Madrid, and I know I’ve said it before, but the experience was truly a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience.

Viva España! Week 8 in Madrid
I’m about to enter my last week here in Madrid, and I’ve spent the past week trying to explore anything that I have yet to explore. On Tuesday, I got to watch the semi-finals for the Euros at a large screen that the mayor had set up. The spirit and pride that everyone there had…

Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Week 1 in Madrid.
Wow. I have already been here for less than a week and I can safely say the experience has been one that I did not foresee. Sure, there have been parts that I anticipated, but I don’t think I could’ve ever fully understood exactly what it would been to live in another country. I got…
