Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I stayed within Madrid this week, just working, reading, and hanging out with friends. In total, I probably traveled only 30 km from all the metro rides and walking.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Again, I think I've traveled around 7,500 kilometers in total. Since Seville, I've really only stayed in Madrid to work and get everything back up after Christmas.

How did I get around this week?:

I got around via the metro and walking. Although I did have to take a cab once because I was exceptionally late to a dinner with a friend! Instead of Uber here, they use Cabify instead. Careful though, as this is essentially just a ride-sharing application, and is not connected to the actual union of cab drivers in the city. My sister asked a taxi driver if she could use Cabify to call a cab once, and he was a little miffed!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Again, I think the most interesting place I visited was the Caixa Forum for the Egyptian Pharaoh exhibit. The forum itself is very pretty from the outside and located next to the art museums in Madrid.

Other Travel News from this week:

Not much to report here other than what I've already mentioned. I'm in plans to visit Berlin, Naples and Galicia though in the near future, so I'll keep you posted!
