Haaaaappppppyyy Friday, ya’ll! This week has been a good one for me, spent lots of time with my parents (I’m like a 5 year old) and saw friends from high school! Collin and Maeghan have been my two best friends from Cheltenham for the last 11 years and, well, we still can’t take a nice […]
Applying for Spanish Citizenship Due to Sephardic Origin: The CCSE Culture and History Exam
In my opinion, one of the biggest “road blocks” to obtaining Spanish citizenship due to Sephardic origin are the two exams. They are two things that require time, commitment, and preparation.
