How I spent my summer vacation
By Daniel Welsch.
September 2, 2016.
My life has changed a lot in the past couple of years. Everything is turning out different than I expected. And this summer was no exception.
Since I don’t have a “real job”, but I still have a lot of work to do, I can travel… or not. All I have to do is get my work done before leaving. Or I can work while travelling. But that’s not too much fun.
Anyway, at the end of June I finished my book Inglés Coloquial.
In July, I went to Santander with some Spanish friends. I stayed at my friend’s house in the center of Santander, and had a great time. For me, the most exciting part was that my friend’s mother made cocido montañés, one of my favorite foods. We also did some nice walks in the towns around Santander. I got a bit sunburned at the beach, but otherwise enjoyed the cool weather, the food and the beautiful landscapes.
After a week in Santander, it was back to Madrid, and back to work!
I wrote an ebook about all the different English verb tenses, which my lovely subscribers to Pasaporte al Inglés have received, and I made a bunch of videos. I passed a million views on my YouTube channel. And I finally published the softcover version of Inglés Coloquial on Amazon.
Of course, summer is no excuse to stop working out. I continued going to boxing class in Parque Retiro, and I wrote an article about it too: Feeling the burn with Madrid for Refugees.
I also spent a lot of time reading. I read almost every day, and I’m still trying to read a book every week.
After a few weeks of work (and a bit of boredom because of the general lack of activity in Madrid) I was off to the Pyrenees!
In this case, I was going to Vielha, a town in the mountains close to the French border. I had never been to the Pyrenees before, and I was excited to explore the mountains.
