Lucky Luke's Valladolid

Introduce yourself

 Yo, its Luke here, I am a 21 year old chef from Bray, Co.Wicklow. I have been a chef for 4 years now and I'm currently finishing my final year of culinary arts in BIFE.
In my spare time I play sport such as basketball and I skateboard. I also enjoy making small videos on Instagram generally made up of 2/3 second clips stitched together to form one longer video. 
I have one brother and one sister, who have both moved out while I remain at home with my mother until it is feesable for me to move out.
In my future I honestly have no idea what I would like to do, I recognize the conventional answer is that I'd like to become a good chef and maybe even gain a michelin star but honestly I'd just like to have fun cooking with food I like.

Preparation
​

To prepare for Spain I attended weekly classes in BIFE where we were taught the basics of language, I also watched tv shows I liked in English with Spanish subtitles so I could see what the words were in Spanish but still hear them in English. I then organized myself with a packing list and got my suitcase down. Once packed I organized a carpool to the airport with Bipin a fellow chef. Once in the airport I made my boarding pass was in hand with my passport and off I went.
Accommodation
​

We stayed in Apartamentos Recondo which was next to the train station. It was a 1 bedroom 2 bed apartment with an en-suite and small living area with a stove and a sink. It was on the second  floor.
I liked the apartment but I thought it was a bit unfair to my room mate that we were sharing one room with beds glued to each other because I normally wouldn't finish work until 12:00/12:30 and bipin would be in bed by then meaning I would have to sneak around our room to make sure that I didn't wake up Bipin some nights.
I also found the apartment didn't have an Iron or a place to hang out washing making it a bit awkward to do basic cleaning of clothing and keeping clothes pressed and looking fresh.
