David's Journey to Spain

Current Location

Ourense, Spain

Hi everyone! I'm David, and I'm an English Teaching Assistant in an elementary school outside of Ourense, Spain, a small city in Galicia in the northwestern part of the country. Join me!

Logbooks

My friend Alden, who is an English teacher in the Czech Republic, visited me this week. We traveled to a town called Monforte de Lemos on October 26th and stayed in Ourense on October 27th.

Journals

My first three months in Ourense have been so much fun, and I can't wait to see what the next six months have in store! I plan on traveling aroung Galicia more once the weather gets warmer.

Field Notes

To get a sense of kids' lives here in Spain, I interviewed five of my sixth grade students and asked them about the things they do every day, as well as what they think about the United States.
