wow.. I have not blogged for the past few months maybe that is a good thing? means I´ve been busy having a good time or maybe just too lazy either way I want to update my life in Spain a bit before I say bye to this lovely country.
I've come to the conclusion that I adopt countries, lifestyles and relationships in different regions of the world. when you live in another place or abroad for a certain time this place becomes your new temporarily home, but when it is time to leave, that new home stays with you forever! most of the times it changes you, when you go back "home" you learn that you have a different perspective and outlook towards many things, sometimes you can no longer connect with older friends and they don't have to understand you because you have met likeminded people abroad that share the same interests you do... this to me is the whole point of living abroad, to grow as a person, to break stereotypes, to discover new life perspectives and adopt them and to meet likeminded and different people.
I´ve spend the last 8 months in Santiago De Compostela teaching English at an elementary school with the cutest children in a lovely small city in Galicia. Santiago is charming! it made me feel at home from the start, yes you can probably see it in a day or two, but I could never get tired of the beautiful old town, its delicious seafood and beautiful green surroundings. so when you live abroad for some time that place will always be part of your life, whether the experience was good or bad, you will most likely meet up with friends you made there and you will always have so many memories to share and remember.
The things I miss about Santiago
1. Walking around the old town even during the rainy days ( almost everyday lol)
2. Seeing all the pilgrims reach the Cathedral after their long journey ( I have to do the Camino)
3. VINO Y TAPAS PORFAVOR!! ( I miss that Octopus a lot!)
4. hiking to Monte Pedroso
5. going out with friends until 6am
