Happiness Happiness is something we all try to obtain in our lives. there are many ways of trying to achieve our personal happiness, each one has got they’re way of seen what happiness is, for some people happiness means money, for some others being with people that you love or care about , others think that having everything you want when you want it makes you happy. Unfortunately the people who believe in happiness as something you can buy with money are wrong, because there are people who have got a lot of money and spent it on what they think will make them happy but later realize that the thing on which they have spent their money isn´t making them happy any more. So basing myself on this example I can say happiness is a thing that can´t be bought with money. i believe that the most important point of being able to be happy is to know what makes us feel this happiness but at the same time being happy doesn’t mean having all material thing, a person with less money can be much happier than a very rich person, I think each one should value what they´ve got and not always compare what others have, because they might have something we would like to have but they might not have the key to their happiness . lots of people also try and do thing they don´t want to or don´t like but think it is what others would want them to do so even if they don´t feel comfortable with what they´re doing they do it to make others happy.

When I first saw it, it made me laugh so much that i finished in tears but then i realized that it´s a typical reaction of the majority of us when they take something we really like away from us
Matt is a 25 year old man who´s from Chicago, he´s come to the Basque country to teach us English. It isn´t his first time here in Spain he had also been teaching last year in Jaen. He is sharing a flat with another two people in San Sebastian, he´s staying here till June. He can speak two languages English and Spanish. He has travelled a lot, he has been to Portugal, The Netherlands, France, Gibraltar and Belgium, but he would also like to travel to Praga.
When he was a kid he used to be scared of dogs. He hasn´t got a pet. He describes himself as a shy, funny, awkward and easy going person that´s why he likes Spain he says. He likes going to movies, traveling, playing the guitar even though he doesn´t play it now as much as he used to do before. He also likes the food and culture of Spain. As a sport he sometimes goes running.
His most terrifying moment was a couple of years ago when he was on a road trip to Las Vegas, his car broke down and his phone went dead , he had to hitch hike and leave his friend so he could get into a total strangers car for hours. 

I personally think that you have to be brave to go to a country where they don´t speak your language and be able to learn theirs and get used to another culture that’s not yours.
