Phoenix


Went to visit my brother, sister-in-law and my two nephews in Phoenix for five days :). By 8am it was already 100 degrees outside which made me really lazy! I wanted to see my nephews before I left to Madrid for a year and also my niece who is on the way.
I truly enjoy getting on a plane and visiting people who I cherish at the last minute; freedom is great.
Knowing that I will miss my niece or nephew birth is sad because I've been there for the first two, not the actual birth but an hour after. Skype will have to do the job while I'm in Madrid.

Packing for a year is stressful!! Any suggestions?

All from scratch


Hello!
The reason I decided to start blogging is because I'm embarking on a new adventure of my life. I will be teaching English & American culture to elementary kids in Madrid, Spain.
The school is called Ceip Rayuela in Villanueva del Pardillo!
I will be leaving my parents house for the first time. I will miss them a lot but we all know that I need to grow up a bit more and travel.

Looking for a roommate is both nerve wracking and difficult because I have to be in Madrid physically :(. I met another Auxillar from the program will be living in Andalucia and will be paying 150 euros but I will pay about 450 euros!! Crazy!

I'm going to Santa Monica right now, saying bye to LA!

Ciao :)!
