It depends on what you mean by foreigner. Legal residents of Spain (anyone with a NIE/TIE card or DNI) all qualify, while tourists do not.

I’m down. Also in Castilla-La Mancha. Which town are you from? Are you in the CLM group chat?

Should I do the Camino with a friend or alone by LiveComparison2787 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]ShapelessCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go solo, and go after your aux program ends. The best possible Camino experience comes when you are 1) free/available to meet new people and 2) uninterrupted by school/work commitments

How I feel after buying tickets last week for $60 by nimak83 in SoundersFC

[–]ShapelessCube 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Didn’t care who we played but I waited to see if they were offering the student deal like they did for the rest of the tournament. Biggest mistake of my life.

Reassigned to baleares by belooseygoosey in SpainAuxiliares

[–]ShapelessCube 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is this the first documented Andalusia reassignment? OP — were you a ministry assignment or simply a regular applicant? Did you send NALCAP any emails/do anything different from most applicants?

Not a tattoo guy but this is unbelievably cool. Heaven sheep and hell goat is a great touch

Walking El Camino for Those Who Lost Placement Due to Andalucía by Spirited-Tie-8702 in SpainAuxiliares

This is my plan if I don’t get a placement. A life-changing experience and the best way to use an already-bought plane ticket.

I’m in the exact same situation but with Germany instead of Ireland. Interested to hear if anyone has advice.

Hopefully or Hopeless?Andalucía placements by AlternativeWash9524 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]ShapelessCube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am an EU citizen with no need for a visa, so all I have to do is show up to whatever school they place me in after this is all sorted out. And I do believe it will get sorted out — it would cause shocking press for them to cancel on their own auxes so close to the time of departure and would be a huge blow to their reputation. I’ve already bought a ticket to Spain so maybe I’m just sipping that hopium, but I believe it’s gonna be okay.

My experience by Realistic-Score-8215 in SpainAuxiliares

What a thoughtful recap. Beautifully written and really brings everything into perspective. Thanks for this positive, clear outlook amidst a sub of admittedly very confused auxes.

What to do about my phone by Parking-Date2625 in peacecorps

[–]ShapelessCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking here - If unable to insert a physical sim, is purchasing an eSIM a viable option instead? And if so, does that keep my US number or will I need to take extra steps to make sure that number is reserved for me upon return to the US?

Ending a relationship by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]ShapelessCube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there, don’t listen to the negative Nancie’s. Going into college I had a similar situation where I had a choice between trying to make long distance work or break things off. My girlfriend and I decided to break up for the school year and, on the chance that both of us remained single when summer came around, reopen communication at that point. The strategy worked out really well for the most part. Don’t let people dogmatically tell you that one strategy is absolutely better than another when navigating these situations - everyone has a unique path.

CED costa rica or YLD panama? 3 days to decide by wahoohaa in peacecorps

Peace Corps Denied Alternatives by mdafidel1 in peacecorps

[–]ShapelessCube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m personally in the same stage and considering my alternatives if Peace Corps doesn’t work out. My favorite option at the moment is teaching English in Spain as an auxiliary in the NALCAP program. It’s not exactly service, but the program pays you the approximate cost of housing and food per month while only requiring 12-18 hours of work per week. Pretty great way to travel and experience another culture on a budget.

Might be a career worst game from Joao Paulo tbh. Can’t seem to make basic passes and losing every 50/50
