Hi everyone. I’m new to SpainExpat so I thought I’d say Hola to you all.

I have recently accepted an opportunity to be a Teacher Assistant in Spain. I will be there on a student visa because it is considered to be a continuing of my education.

I’ll be there for 7 months, in a small town in Galicia.

I suppose I’ll stay in a hostel at first and take it from there. I’ve never lived on my own let alone in a foreign country.. so it’s pretty scary/exciting to say the least. Not to mention I’ll be leaving my bf for all that time; it’s all very nerve racking! but I am confident I/we can do it.

Well. that’s my story. I’ll be around! A lot I am sure. And if anyone is from Galicia/Lugo or has been there I welcome any advice, tips, warning, encouragement 😉

gracias!
erica

ps: i think i will probably blog throughout my experience, if you’d like to read/comment my blog is eribell.blogspot.com
