About

This is me at the Ebro River Canyon near Burgos, Spain.

About Me:
My name is Chris Showers and I am a 25 year old American who, after graduating from college in the USA, moved to Burgos, Spain to become an English teacher.  My college degree is in the teaching of foreign languages and Spanish; thus, I am a licensed Spanish teacher in the state of Pennsylvania.  In Spain I work teaching English and am currently doing a master’s degree. 

My Life in Spain:
I’m originally from Pennsylvania, USA; but, I’ve spent the last few years living in Spain.  In fact, my “Spain history” goes way back: my first trip to the country took place in 2003 when I went to Madrid for a summer.  Later, I returned to study — that time I was in the city of Valladolid.  Now I’m living in Burgos, teaching English, and completing my master’s. 

About this Website:
I created this site in 2007 before moving to Burgos largely because I wanted to have some type of “tangible” (well, as tangible as a webpage can be) documentation of my life outside the USA.  Originally, the website was private (for my friends and family only) and then I later made it public.

Right now, the site is in its second version with an updated layout and more innovative theme design.  I add new features to the site often so you may wish to check back once or twice a week to see what’s new.  You also may be interested in subscribing to email updates of my site or subscribing to my RSS feed or you can follow me on Twitter.

If you have any further questions or comments about this site, please check out the FAQ or send me an email.
