A page in my life is about to turn.

About a year ago, I moved to Madrid. Being from Guatemala, it makes a huge difference. Before then, I had never been to Spain. Everything was new and unknown.

A year has gone by, and I have barely felt it. There have been tough times, but I can definitely say that it has been a great experience. What an opportunity!!!

Max, my boyfriend, lives in Madrid. This has been the first time in our four year old relationship- that we have been able to live in the same city. Leaving him is going to be so hard...specially now that I've gotten used to seeing him all the time, but our relationship has grown stronger and I'm sure we'll be ok. Uga Uga baby!!!

Ivanna aka "Ivis" has made it easier too. She is my roommate and good friend. She's also guatemalan and probably one of the nicest girls ever. She's understanding and patient, you can talk to her about anything, she's always listening and speaking her true mind. I love her!

Alice has been a huge blessing as well. She's french and a true character. She's cunning and sincere, and she's up for anything. We have a great connection. I'll miss her, but we'll be family one day...so...it's not so sad (lol). I love her too!!!

Gaia...what a special girl. She's italian but lives for Africa. I'm sure she's going to achieve great things in life. You go girl!!!

Hannes!!! Hannes...Hannes is german. He's very particular. I love him! He's very responsible and studies all the time, but as soon as the sun sets...it's party time!!! He's been a very good friend both to Ivanna and me, and I will miss him a lot.

Inash! Mijo!!! Inash! I will miss my Inash a lot...he's a great friend and I just love him. His attitude, his spirit, his personality. I will miss him a lot, but he's also guatemalan. So...we'll be together again soon.

There's a lot of people that have made this experience as wonderful as it has been. I am sooooo thankful!!! I had a great time and I grew up hips. I feel right in my own skin now. I am as ready as I can be to go back.
