I feel like I’m just waking up from a week-long nap, after down the rabbit hole of stress. But I’m back and ready to get crackin’ on some fun travel chit chat. I’ve got some kick-ass plans in the works that I can’t wait to tell you about, but until they’re ironed out, I’m staying mum.

I’ll be honest and admit that over the last week or so, I’ve been so incredible overwhelmed that as long as a comment didn’t look like spam, I’ve pressed “publish” without so much as reading it. But my friend Jamie brought to my attention that there’s been some talk in the comments about VaughanTown and I wanted to put it out here on the main page because, seriously, what an amazing idea. If I were a college student, or, unemployed like I was last summer, I would be all over this. The general idea is, you fly to Madrid (that part you pay for) and then you go stay (free o’ charge, 3 squares included) in a 4-star country hotel and chit-chat with Spanish-speaking business people.

Tell me what part about that sounds like work?

If you’ve participated in this program, I would LOVE to hear about your personal experience.
