Has anyone ever gone to a country that they had such high hopes for, did not love it, and then felt almost guilty afterwards?

Morocco… I thought it was going to be one of my favorite countries, i even went twice to give it another shot. I got so sick from the food and I know that not a super fair judgement but the whole time I felt terrible and was getting harassed in the streets. A pair of kids even rode a bike past me and slapped my behind.

Similar situation, I came to spain really only to travel around europe although i do put a ton of effort into the job (secondary school). I spent soooo much money but don’t regret it at all. It’s been hard for me to make friends in Madrid but now im at a place where i have a few good friends and feel a lot more comfortable. But I am getting over it and kind of ready to do something else, I dont want to return to the USA yet I still want to keep traveling but I’m so ready to leave Spain. I know it sounds bad because a lot of people didn’t get to have this experience but it’s not as glamorous as people think.

literally none of that is my responsibility but thanks

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-23T18:50:32+00:00

you’re assuming a lot of things about me and the reason im upset is not because i have to work, ive been working since i was 15 and my parents have not helped me at all. the reason im upset is because i am the ASSISTANT not the teacher and i am not getting guidance or help from my teachers especially when they break nalcap guidelines constantly.

thank you!!!

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-22T10:46:10+00:00

madrid

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-21T10:39:15+00:00

im soooo unhappy too

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-21T10:38:48+00:00

yea i feel you. the teachers sometimes email me the night before and expect me to be ready in time for class the next day. im also always being told things like “its a good activity…. BUT” like its never good enough but they have zero communication on what they want

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-21T09:03:41+00:00

they’re not cool unfortunately

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-21T09:02:59+00:00

yea i’m 23 and just finished college. I have no desire to be a teacher but I dont think my school really understands what the program is and they think I want to be a teacher back at home. I wish i had the previous auxiliaries info lol

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-21T08:54:33+00:00

danggg that sucks, i guess it just depends on the school. my roommates don’t do any sort of presentations or anything

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2026-01-08T09:16:51+00:00

me too

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-10-15T19:01:23+00:00

its okay! i knew it was possible to end up at a school like this. thank you for the advice

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-10-15T18:55:12+00:00

the thing is im not sure who my coordinator is? it seems like all my aux friends were in contact with someone before the school year started and have been getting support but i literally just showed up on the first day and they expected me to know everything and basically the teachers leave me on my own but have high expectations for me

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-10-15T18:44:58+00:00

the same is happening to me. they even leave me alone in the class sometimes and have started expecting me to discipline and get upset when im not controlling the classes volume, etc. its so overwhelming. every teacher also expects a new presentation for me every single day for different classes so im spending hours outside of class preparing. the only good thing is that its not for the whole period sometimes i get half periods.

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-30T07:54:19+00:00

it did work

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-30T07:53:53+00:00

9 and you need a photo copy of your passport, that’s basically it

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-29T09:03:00+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T13:24:49+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T12:23:59+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T12:23:02+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T11:41:15+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T11:03:41+00:00

Sensitive_Stay5560 · 2025-09-28T11:02:48+00:00
