Some of you may already know this, but Madrid is my favorite city I have visited in Spain. The rich culture and history of the city, the beautiful architecture and the world class museums really spoke to be when I visited. Unlike my terrible experience in Barcelona, I have nothing …
It’s hard to believe its been almot 5 years since I spent 6 weeks living in Russia. I was telling some of my students about my trip the other day and reminiscing on my time there. I decided I wanted to share some of my Russia trip on the blog …
