Beginning

I am in BA.
It is summer time.
Still do not understand what is happening. I am on the other side of the world!
When landing landscape looked like Germany: square fields everywhere.
They gave a declaration to fill. Oups! How am I supposed to do this? Was not aware I need to declare my mobile phone (what model is it??? Nokia with flashlight?).
Waiting in the queue on the border, i was thinking " I do not have print of my accommodation confirmation, nor of my Spanish courses. Are they going to let me in?"
Cannot say I was nervious though, whatever happens happens.
Crossing the border was easy:
"How long do you intend to stay?"
"2 months (ish)"
"Please have your 90 days stamp in the passport"
After baggage reclaim there was a scan. That is where I would theoretically need my declaration. No, did not need it.
Taking taxi was easier and cheaper than thought.
And that is where challenges began.

And the Journey begins

I am writting this sitting in Madrid airport, waiting for my connction flight to BA.
I still cannot believe I am doing it. Feels more like weekend away than Life changing experience.
Started with my train being diverted through SJT. I only realised something went wrong in the midle of the Welsh field, where the train stopped. Of course missed connecting train, had to look for alternative ways to get to the aiport. It was fun.
Good start for an exciting journey, I think?

Disclaimer

This blog is for my family and friends to follow my journey in Latin America. I was not sure what language I should use, but at the moment it feels natural to write in English. It always sounds cooler in English. There might be some odd posts in Russian and I do plan to write in Spanish when I am better in it.

I will try to write at least once a week, as long as there is internet access. Let's see how it works out.
