Welcome to RaphSammut.ca!

I started this blog just over 2 years ago as a way to stay in touch with friends and family while I was abroad for a year in Spain. During that year I posted extensively about my experience living in Spain and documented my many adventures within Europe. Since that time, I have continued to update this blog with a variety of content whenever I felt inspired to write about something. In essence, this blog is a form of free expression of my thoughts, ideas, and adventures for you to enjoy.

Feel free to leave comments and ask questions! The more feedback I get, the better I will be able to post content that is of most interest to you!
