When I first signed up, I had no idea what to expect. Covid had just set upon the world, and I was in the midst of looking for something life changing. Not the absolute best time to change up your life, but it’s been the best decision I’ve made so far as an adult. Rvf has helped make this not only the easiest transition, but has gone above and beyond their duties with helping me get here in Madrid. I had a few problems early on, and Harrison was always there every step of the way to help make sure I wasn’t unattended, and also helped me to feel comfortable through out the entire process. I am currently writing this in Spain, and not only had made lifelong new friends, but lifetime memories and it’s only been a month. I can’t wait to look forward to the next 8 months of my time here, regardless of covid. I’m having the time of my life!
What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was by far trying to figure out the transportation system in Madrid. I live in sol, and my work is 45 minute commute north. I had to hope on a tram and bus to get there. So I scan my card and it works on the tram, so I assume it’ll work on the bus. Yeah that’s a no go! I got on the bus on the way to school and it wouldn’t work, and not only would it not scan, but they don’t take debit cards on most buses. Euros only. So the bus driver is yelling at me in Spanish, and I’m freaking out saying I don’t understand what he’s saying (I speak hardly any Spanish). Well luckily a nice woman overheard the yelling, and gave him 2 euros for me to continue to ride the bus and make it to work on time.
