The next trip of the year was to Madrid, Spain. Five co-ops, including myself, headed straight for the aiport after work one Friday afternoon in February. Again, we had no plans laid out for our trip once we arrived. Instead we opted to purchase a one day train pass and discover the city one subway stop at a time. Since our trip would last us less than 24 hours we felt no need to get a hotel room. Our plan? Explore the historical and noteworthy points of the city by day and party like true club-going Europeans all night.

Tour Guiding Through Madrid
Lesson of the Trip: Music truly is the universal language. When we were at the club I found myself surrounded by a group of Spanish college kids. We were struggling through a conversation in Spanglish when one of them asked what kind of music I liked. I replied, Lady Gaga- throwing up the claw for emphasis. That was enough to break us all into a rendition of Poker Face. It was the connection that broke through all language barriers. That was one of the coolest moments.
