Carla Barahona |
|
Although she was born and raised in Washington D.C. she feels equally at home in Madrid and New York City.
The first time she came to Spain was with her mom and sister in 1990. Fast forward 15 odd years and she´s got a Spanish husband, three daughters and resides in Madrid. Most recently she lived in NYC for six years where she worked for a non-profit agency assisting foreign students with Fulbright scholarships. She returned to settle down in Madrid with her family in 2006.
Over the years she´s travelled pretty much all over Spain, with the exception of Galicia. A wrong she´s hoping to right before too long.
