Arrival to the Madrid and first days of the university: Arriving to Madrid was both stressful and exciting at the same time. It was stressful because I needed to find a place to stay and therefore it meant lot of room hunting through various websites which I found idealista.com best out of them. Scrolling through…

Hola Chicos ! After leaving Australia almost 3 months ago, I am very glad to have finally settled in Madrid. I spent roughly two and a half months backpacking prior to arriving in Madrid. I visited roughly 16 countries and plenty of cities. My exchange is based at Carlos III Universidad in Getafe (roughly 20…

Tips for Australians coming to Spain: The people who tell you that Spain is always warm are from cold, cold countries. Goon is no longer necessary. A litre bottle of vodka can be purchased in the supermarket, next to the juice, for four euros. When the Sydney lockouts start happening – about 3am – is…

Que Tal 🙂 I hope my fellow European Exchange mates are doing well! I can say that I am settling in well in Barcelona, it is actually everything I thought it would be. The weather here is finally starting to warm up and I’m enjoying learning so many different corners to the city. Everywhere I…
