My trip to Candelario was nothing short of unforgettable. It was as if we had the entire town to ourselves, and the handful of locals who we did encounter were incredibly nice and seemed genuinely happy to have us in their town. It was definitely a great bonding experience between myself and others in the…
It’s Not Goodbye it’s Until we Meet Again
As I sit here typing in the comfort of my room reflecting back on my trip, I realize how much I am going to miss waking up in Madrid. I already miss my family, which I still stay in contact with, I miss my friends, but most importantly I miss the endless possibilities of exploration….
