| Introduction | Kristen first lived in Spain as a student in 2010, where she studied in Alicante and had her heart stolen by the culture, people, and the life that Spain had to offer. Since that time Kristen has lived in four different states, held two different jobs, and now finds herself in a completely different stage of life, four years from the date she had her last paella de mariscos. During Sept. 2014, while fully embracing her quarter-life crisis, Kristen sold her belongings and hopped a plane to really soak in her ‘Diane Lane’ a la Under the Tuscan Sun. Currently, Kristen lives in Madrid and works as a teaching assistant of a bilingual elementary school in a nearby suburb. Expect to see a variety of stories about travel, Madrid life, cross-cultural dating, and the general struggle Kristen experiences by being a clueless American. As an aspiring literary herself, Kristen draws inspiration from the late E.E. Cummings; “It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.” Disclaimer: If you find yourself offended at any point from reading this blog, congratulations. Kristen is sure she will be off-putting to friends, strangers, Americans, Spaniards, and even herself. |
