I’ve been teasing it for the past few weeks, but on June 1, we finally had our student meetup! We had 80 students come from all around the world to meet each other – most of us meeting for the very first time in person! It was so incredible, emotional, and special to connect with the students that I’ve known over the screen (some of them for more than 5 years!) and finally hug them in real life. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f979.png" alt="

This week I’m talking about all the things that I’m currently planning. The thing is, since the moment I arrived in Spain, I haven’t stopped PLANNING! And even though it seems like a simple thing, I feel it’s one of the most energy consuming things we do!
From planning a holiday, to a birthday party for Amalia, a community meetup, team activities, play dates, it’s so. much. planning.
In today’s episode I’ll also share with you my tips for how to plan well, and other exciting updates about my community retreat.

We all know that speaking a language fluently has tons of advantages. Better communication! New friendships! Less misunderstandings! Life is easier when you understand everyone around you, no doubt.
But today, I wanted to think of it from a COMPLETELY different perspective. What are the advantages of NOT being fluent in a language? I’ve noticed quite a few things that I’ve experienced since moving to Spain where I can’t understand everything that’s being spoken around me…and that’s what I want to share with you today.
