La Identidad- Taemora’s Week 4 Update

Published:


¡Hola, hola! It is my pleasure to bring you my Week 4 update on my Grande Adventure here in beautiful Valencia, España. Can you believe it has been a month already? I have to say, my first two weeks felt like two months, but it still feels as though this one-month point snuck up on me! Please enjoy this vlog concerning a small aspect of my journey in realizing my identity within the context of my experiences here in Valencia. Ciao!
