Buenos Días from Madrid

Hello, Hello everyone~

I’m happy to say that I made it to Madrid, Spain safely. After a series of four different flights to get to my final location, I can officially say that my body is exhausted. However, at the moment, I am feeling very awake and ready to seek out an adventure in this wonderful city. This sensation must be due to the excitement of being in new environment.

From this trip I have learned some very important travel tips:

  • Book longer layover: It may seem boring to wait around an airport for 3-4 hours, but this will save your trip especially in the case that one’s flight is delayed. This actually happened to me leaving me with less than an hour to transfer to my international flight from a domestic one. Just imagine me sweaty and out of breath from running!
  • Exchange Money at Home or Get a Traveler’s Card: The exchange rates are very unfriendly here. Many times there are added fees. As a result, I highly recommend getting a traveling card with multiple currencies so you don’t lose money from bad exchanges

These are just two off the top of my head from my experience flying to this point! I’ll keep you all updated on my day to day adventures.
