The Posthumous Diary of an Expat: A Spanish Journal
In the spring of 2016, I left my home in the United States to move to Spain. I had always dreamed of living abroad, and I was excited to start a new adventure in a country that I had always loved.
I arrived in Madrid in March, and I quickly fell in love with the city. The people were friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the culture was vibrant and exciting. I found an apartment in the Malasaña neighborhood, and I started exploring my new home.

I soon realized that living in Spain was not always easy. I had to learn a new language, adjust to a new culture, and make new friends. There were times when I felt lonely and homesick, but I also had some amazing experiences that I will never forget.
I kept a journal during my time in Spain, and I wrote about my experiences, both good and bad. I wrote about the challenges of learning Spanish, the joys of exploring a new city, and the friendships I made along the way.
I am now back in the United States, but I still think about my time in Spain every day. I miss the food, the culture, and the people. I am grateful for the experience of living abroad, and I know that it has changed me for the better.
Here are some excerpts from my journal:

I am having a hard time adjusting to the Spanish culture. I am used to being more direct, but I am learning that it is important to be more indirect and polite in Spain. I am also getting used to the Spanish way of life, which is more relaxed and santai than in the United States.
