Explore with me

Xploro / J'Xplore is a stylization of the Spanish word exploro & French J'explore meaning I explore, from the verb explorar/explorer. This blog, in its current form, shares our personal journies traveling and studying languages. We may go deep, but we will also shop.



Please note: entries are in chronological order - most recent first; also, the blog is expanded to capture our new, personal travels while serving in the U.S. Foreign Service.

Arrived: Madrid, Spain

I'm starting a blog to capture my daily activities while in Madrid, Spain. I will be here nearly the entire month of June 2010 living in my own rented apartment. I've always wanted to begin a diary of sorts, but I've not had any incentive to actually sit and do it. The blog medium will keep me focused on getting out there in the world to experience things I may share. I don't mind having anyone read what I capture here - I'm seeking a sort of mature self enlightenment, rediscovery of some experiences past, and share them out anyway. This is not a mid-life crisis by any stretch - it is THE opportunity to reset my perspectives and live a fuller life. However, it's taken me a bit of time to decide on what tool, provider, and template to use so I haven't actually had time to enter anything since I arrived here on June 4, 2010.

So, please stand by as I enter a proper introduction later today, how I actually came to be in Madrid for the month of June 2010, catch you up with my day to day explorations, Spanish language milestones, and experiences. I will promise in advance to not be egocentric, silly, or naive; although, I reserve the right to be introspective.
