In planning this trip to Spain, there were initially three of us. However, due to some unfortunate circumstances, one of our friends decided to turn down the opportunity. So I wish her the best of luck next year.
As I haven't really talked about what I'll be doing in Spain next year or how this opportunity fell into my lap, I'll fill in some blanks. Jason and I got an amazing opportunity to go teach english at a small privately owned Academy in Logroño, Spain - in the beautiful region of La Rioja. (Known to most as "Wine-Country". No complaints there.) Our friend, the one who ended up turning down the opportunity, studied in Spain a few months ago and was asked to take a year off of school to come back to teach at the Academy. She was then asked if she knew any other native English speakers that would be interested as well. With my passion for Spanish and different cultures, I was the first to jump at the opportunity. I've never really even thought twice about it yet.
Jason got a call today from our "Boss" in Spain. He got a lot of great information for the both of us and we were urged to get to Spain as soon as possible, however we mutually decided that we wouldn't be going until Mid-August, giving him time to finish up his summer internship.
I'm very grateful to have Jason to travel with, as he's travelled abroad and definitely has more international experience than I do.
I'm also so blessed to have gotten this opportunity and can't wait to be able to share it with friends, family, co-workers, teachers, etc. via this blog.
¡Hasta luego, Amigos!
