I graduated USF with a BA in Language Education and a BA in Spanish. I had a job teaching Spanish at an affluent high school in the U.S. for two years and decided to cross the Atlantic for the first time to teach English in Spain for a year. I expected to deal with changes but I didn’t expect so much personal change.

Cool blog .. great pics. . . . . I'm in Chicago . . . . . wondering if I could live in and around Spain decently and avoid poverty 2 a degree for about 1600 Euros a month? Plan to go in Jan 2013 . . . 2 try such .. Have a BA in Business . . . was going 2 pick up an ESL certificate 2c if that may help income , but seems like work is not likely over there . . also not certain if I'd enjoy trip 2 much if I had 2 work . . .
