The world gets smaller and smaller everyday...

So my new favorite activity in Spain is language exchange. My first language exchange was done through the University. They have contacts in a language school and set them up with their International students aka me and my friends. The only problem...or maybe it's not a problem...but at any rate my exchange partner, Monce, is older maybe 60?
So I decided I wanted more language partners my own age! So I posted an announcement on loquo.com (spanish craigslist) saying hey I'm a 20 year old American college student looking to practice Spanish if you want to practice English we could meet at a cafe or park. I'm looking for someone my own age!
So after getting over 40 emails flooding my inbox...most older guys saying well I'm 32 but I look younger jaja...no. That is how I met Julia, my 20 year old Sevilla friend! We are currently FB friends. But I love the language exchange opportunity because it's such great practice for me. It's been a way to meet locals, break away from awkward American tourist groups, and learn about interesting cultural things! So I also set up another meeting with an Italian guy on Friday...and I started to wonder...can you have TOO MANY exchange partners?!?!! My opinion? No!
So I responded to a 23 year old native Barcelona guy who is studying Law at the same University as me. Well I got a message back from him this morning saying he searched for me of facebook (which is annoying because I don't know their last names....so the fb stalking is more or less a one way street...) but anyway. And get this, we have a friend in common! Lindsay Brothers. The intern I met this summer that was so sweet and helpful to me. She even hosted me a going away Sangria party! She studied in Barcelona the year before me.
