It’s with great sadness that I say goodbye to Madrid. I loved my time here and was so happy to help the NH Collection EuroBuilding Hotel celebrate their grand re-opening. If you haven’t kept up with my trip, relive it all today while I fly back on not one, but two airlines I’ve never flown…

It’s absolutely ridiculous that my trip to Madrid is almost over. I feel like I’ve only just begun to understand this wonderful city and I would likely need a full month to truly know what I was doing here. That said, I’m loving every moment of Madrid. I’ve seen priceless works of art at the…

Trying to Speak the Language in a Foreign Country

“Solo extra sopa, por favor.” That’s what I told the cleaning lady at the NH EuroBuilding Hotel in Madrid when she came to turn down the room and asked if I needed anything else. If you speak Spanish, then you already know that I asked her for soup, not soap. She stared at me for…

Hola, amigos! I’ve been practicing my Spanish for the past week (I’d say I’m up to a 3rd or 4th grade level at this point) because I’m heading to Madrid! I can’t wait to check out the newly remodeled NH EuroBuilding Hotel — they’re the generous souls taking me to Spain — and I doubly…
