Having never left the United States before, 3 weeks in Spain sounded like forever. Yet time has passed so quickly and with only 3 full days left in this beautiful country, I wish I could stay longer. Nothing could have prepared me for the incredible experience I have had in Salamanca. I have truly enjoyed … Continue reading An Enriching and Eye-Opening Program
I couldn’t know what to expect. The moment I mentioned I was studying abroad to anyone (which I didn’t much, because I was in denial for the majority of the preparation stage), I was instantly flooded with travel information and personal experience. Despite the overload (which I loved), I still wasn’t prepared. First off, my … Continue reading I am so thankful for this opportunity… Bendecida!

The family I had the pleasure of staying with … Continue reading A summer in Costa Rica
As with many classes I’ve taken, I’ve been a bit of an outsider. When I came in, I had nothing but a few words of Spanish that I had remembered and incredible shyness. I knew that this would be a great challenge for me, because I had little knowledge of Spanish, and I am very … Continue reading Salamanca is a Place of Learning, Communication and Change.

So, my classmates and I have been in Spain for a little over a week now and it’s been nothing short of phenomenal! The program has allowed me to explore a different part of the world and delve deeper into another culture. As I’m writing this, it’s hard to adequately put into words what this … Continue reading Time of My Life

This is the beginning of week two in España for me. It’s been a little difficult adjusting to how different things are over here, but I absolutely love it. I’ve been sucking up the culture like a sponge and really enjoy sharing all of the amazing things I’ve learned with my family during my calls … Continue reading Salamanca is Incredible!
