I’ve moved to Madrid

By Abha | Permalink | 6 comments | February 7th, 2007 | Trackback

Incase you were wondering, I have not been able to post until today because I have just relocated from Dubai (UAE) to Madrid.There was a compelling need to uproot my life and shake it up a little, if nothing else but to stir up some good writing.

A bit like long-term travel, drastic lifestyle changes can bring out a side of you that you did not know existed. A good way to deal with those changes is to write them, and that’s the plan. Although I am not new to Spain, and I speak Spanish, I am new to Madrid.

Other than eating tapas and drinking sangria all day, I will be teaching English, writing and trying to get a peak into the world of English writers based here. I plan to be here for a year, so other than regular posts, I will share any useful information on the written road that comes my way. Stay tuned!

I envy you. Madrid in on my list of places I must visit one day. If you’re looking for english speaking writers living in Madrid, you should check out A wandering woman writes from Spain. I discovered this blog during my travels around the internet. It’s worth reading. Cheers, Liz

Congratulations on your move! Best of luck. You wrote:

If you’re teaching English, you should know that the peek you’re looking for is “peek,” and that your second sentence should be two sentences, the first one ending after “year.”

Suz: Thanks for pointing that out. Definitely need to be extra careful in my writing and when I start teaching the language.

All the best. I trust your new environment will shake, rattle and roll your writing. Looking forward to the results! Whoa!
