For those of you who don't know, I will be moving back to Spain sometime in September.
I've been accepted to the Auxiliares de Conversación program through the Spanish Ministry of Education. This program places Americans and Canadians in schools across Spain to assist in their English language classrooms. I'm not super sure how I feel about this whole "helping people learn English" thing, but it is a great opportunity. Especially for someone who wants to put off being an adult for an extra year.
My hope for this blog is to track the months leading up to my departure. Once I get to Spain, it obviously will transform to a place to discuss my experiences there.
I hope you Enjoy!
