I have been studying whilst working for the last 3 years, which means I haven’t been able to go on a long vacation since the start of 2020. I am an avid traveller and the next step for me would not only travel somewhere, but to immerse myself in the country and culture. I have stayed in several houseshare arrangements and love meeting new people. It has been difficult having meeting new people with little extra free time and now I am a fully remote worker, so I think this would be an excellent opportunity to do that. Madrid in particular appealed to me as it is such a diverse city with culture, LGBT friendly, good nightlife and easy access to other areas throughout Spain.
