I will be teaching English this year in Ourense, Spain, a city in the northwestern region of Galicia. During my time here, I hope to improve my Spanish and gain experience teaching in the classroom.
Belgium is well-known for its tasty foods and yummy desserts. There are Belgian waffles and fries, of course, but there are also foods that taste like Dominican food. It feels like being back home!
