I'm 22 years old and I've been living in Madrid since I was two . Actually, I was born in Poland and both of my parents are Polish. That's why, even though I introduce myself as Miguel, you see my name "in Polish".
I started the English Studies degree a bit more than four years ago at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. From Getafe, where I actually live, it takes around 40 minutes to get there by train. To avoid 40-minutes-long boredom, I take a book  which shortens signifcantly the trip. The schedule is pretty flexible, although not because you can adapt it to you but because depending on the subjects you take it can become a mess, so be careful!

Regarding music, I play the guitar and I love singing and writing songs. I'm always open to different kinds of music: I can start the day by listening to some house music and end it with Metallica in the background, with some jazz in between. I still buy CDs from time to time, and I use Spotify a lot (a Swedish app btw) which really pays off... at least for people like me.
Some of my favourite singer/bands are Death Cab For Cutie, Elliott Smith, Amy Winehouse and Radiohead. There is also a Spanish band called Amaral. They are just AWESOME and some of their songs are known by literally everybody

Talking about books and studies... I love reading and learning languages. Since I was a child I have always been curious about what songs in English talk about and whenever I heard someone speaking another language that wasn't Spanish or Polish I wanted to be able to speak that language too!
Nowadays I speak English and French, I can read Russian and Greek and I'm trying to learn Swedish (I love EVERYTHING related to Sweden).
Books and music are my other two hobbies. My favorite books are The Catcher In The Rye and The Bell Jar. Apart from those, I really like Russian writers and lately I started to read science-fiction (which I thought that would never happen).

Even though I live in Getafe, my life revolves around Madrid: university, hanging out with friends, bookshops, parties... It's a big city and there is always something interesting to do. I like hanging out with my friends and having some drinks. There are many cheap places to spend some time, mainly in the city center and Malasaña (at the end, the center too). Another cool thing which I really appreciate is that Madrid is a very LGBT-friendly city, specially if you compare it to other cities in Europe or the US. In general people in Madrid are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. I bet you would feel very comfortable here!

After the lectures, two or three days during the week I teach English to children. Beig a teacher is not my dream or something I would like to dedicate my life to, but I find it a good way to gain new experience and earn some money. Another great thing is that I not only teach, but I also learn with them; since I'm not a native speaker, I always need to prepare myself to be ready for solving any doubts, and I guess you know how curious children are!!!
Another advantage is the possibility to observe directly how acqusition of new languages looks like in children. It may not seem very interesting for some of you, but for a linguistic student it becomes fascinating, and actually I'm one of those freaks who loves it and always wants to learn more. ;)
