My inspiration to go abroad came from a lifelong thirst for new experiences and a love for learning. Having led a successful career in business, I realized that the pursuit of knowledge and cultural immersion was a new frontier for personal growth. The idea of learning Spanish in a country rich with history and tradition was incredibly appealing. Spain's vibrant culture, language, and the promise of an unforgettable Easter experience in Cuenca were too enticing to resist.
