For Todd Lester, travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list. It’s really about embracing the unknown, connecting with people, and finding magic in unexpected moments. 

His latest adventure took him to Spain, where he joined Pueblo Inglés, a one-of-a-kind program that brings together native English speakers and Spanish students for a week of immersive conversation, culture, and connection. No textbooks and no formal lessons. Just real conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of learning that happens when walls come down and laughter takes over.

From the lively streets of Madrid to the breathtaking Spanish countryside, Todd found himself swapping stories over tapas, witnessing the fire and passion of this amazing country, and forming friendships that stretched beyond language barriers. 

What started as a volunteer experience quickly became something much bigger—a reminder of why travel is so transformative. It’s not just about seeing new places; it’s about discovering new sides of yourself, finding joy in spontaneity, and saying yes to the adventure unfolding in front of you.

So, what lessons did Todd bring home from Spain? And where will his insatiable curiosity take him next? Let’s find out! 🌍
