I´m in Love!

Ive just finished a program teaching english at a place called Vaughantown, which is an intensive week of english speaking for Spaniards trying to get better with their conversational spanish. I volunteered my services as an english speaker - tough requirements huh - and in return I got to stay at the four star hotel/resort for free with everyone covered. But it turned out to be even more then that.

Throughout the week us Anglos spoke to the Spanish, and in that time got to meet a bunch of really great people, from both sides of the equation. One of the things you dont get to do enough as a backpacker is meet a lot of locals and get to have long an meaningfull discussions with them, which is something I crave.

Aside from lots of talking, there was copius amounts of drinking and lots of eating (ham sandwiches were ignored for a week!) and you could see one things that Aussies and Spanish have in common - we love to have a good time revolving around food and drink, and also take things very easy with little stress.

Having spent 4 of the last 6 weeks in Spain, one thing has hit me - i wanna spend more time here. I also wanna be able to speak their language. Having had a quick look over the net, working holiday visa´s arent available, so I will have to take another aproach! But I am now determined to spend some more time in Spain, as Ive completely fallen in love with it!
