¡Sí! ¡Sí! …¿No?- Taemora’s Week 1 Update

Published:


It is my pleasure to finally share my Week 1 experience with you! In this video, I explore my exposure to communication within the context of Spain and possibly a bit of stress and jet lag. This Week 1 update is also accompanied by a separate short, “Nos Fiesta Sin Siestas” in which you are able to see photos of the various things I did on my first weekend in Valencia! Feel free to watch that video after this one. Sidenote: Please forgive the lighting situation in this video and it’s length. I am learning how to vlog and am excited to be learning with you accompanying me on this journey :)
