About
While I hail from the ‘States, 2010-2013 finds me based in Spain.
Madrid, to be exact.
I’m amassing quite a few funny tales as an English teacher, Master’s student, language learner, and world traveler.
A love of reading has made me inquisitive (TRANSLATION: nosy).
There, you’ve been warned.

Get a load of those camera-toting tourists. Oh, wait…

Hello there!
My name is Malte Zeeck, and I am with InterNations.org. I really enjoyed reading your fantastic blog! I think expats in Spain and around the world could really gain some great insights [and have a few good laughs] on this page. The quality of the blog in general is very convincing, which is why I would love to feature you and your writing on the Recommended Blog on Spain section on InterNations.org
Not only do we feature and link to your blog prominently; we also would like to hear from you directly in our questionnaire! We have also designed a link badge for your blog.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact me via email: maltezeeck@internations.org
Best,
Malte Zeeck
Found your blog through Hola Yessica! You are also an English Teaching Assistant living in Madrid! I wish I had found your blog sooner. I’m actually leaving Madrid at the end of the summer after living here for 2 years.
But I’ll keep reading your blog so I can reminisce.
By the way is there a way to subscribe to your blog? I can’t seem to find the button…
Thanks, Amelie! I don’t think there is way to subscribe to my blog, but I hope you keep following!
Hola Cassandra!
Good blog!! We would like to link exchange with you!! Please send me an email if you are interested too
We are from Spain, a couple of years ago we decided to leave our jobs and go around the world for a year. After that we decided to start a small business related to travel, called Way Away (way-away.com): an online platform to help independent travellers to build their own trip.
Keep in touch! Waiting for your email
Un saludo,
Belén
Hi Cassandra, Would like to send you an email. Please send me your email address. Thanks. Nancy
