I can’t believe it’s already December. My tourist visa is officially expired, and I have one more week of classes before I go on holiday vacation. Next stop: Italy, Austria, Hungary. Life in Madrid has been absolutely amazing. Here, to live is to socialize, to converse, to have a good time, to be adventurous — it’s the most incredible style of life I’ve ever experienced. ‘Nuff said.
