It hasn’t even been una semana yet and a mi me encanta la ciudad de Sevilla y los Sevillanos. The culture of Sevilla, España is warm, welcoming, very energetic, yet also carefree all at the same time. I moved in with my Señora (my adoptive mom for the tres meses I am here) last Thursday […]

Today marks one month that I have been here..loco!!!!! Tiempo vuela! But really what? I have not blogged for 10 ten days which is not a long time but I have definitely done quite a bit in diez Dias! Lets see, two weekends ago a group of us fuis a el coffee plantation, el volcan […]

There is so much to say from only being here such a short time! I have learned so many things. It’s crazy how when you speak another language enough you start to think completely in it. I’m even translating this post into French in my head without trying to. My host family is so nice! […]

I am happy to say that I successfully navigated myself to Lyon, France all on my own with luckily a total delay time of only 45 minutes. I flew from Bradley (“Hartford”) to Philadelphia on the smallest plane known to man (we had to put our carry ons with the rest of the luggage because the overhead […]

I am leaving January 30 to go to a completely new world. Knowing no one. Having to trust complete strangers, a different culture, and my host family to teach me the ropes. In a completely different language that I am not comfortable speaking. Nervous? That’s not even the word to describe it. In my eyes […]

Hola mis amigos! Somehow I have already been here for almost dos sermanas..two weeks!!? Tiempo vuela!..that’s a new term I learned today meaning time flies! I already feel like I am home here. The people, the school, the culture..I love it. I have already explored so much in my time here..I can not wait to […]

Typical 6am “let me grab a picture of you, your luggage, and passport” pic from my dad before I was off to the airport for an adventure of a lifetime! Knowing no Spanish other than “hola,” “gracias” and a couple numbers, I’m off to start from scratch like I am in kindergarten again …..as Dora […]

So after my days in Brussels, I know that my traveling days are far from over, but as an American I find that it is difficult to travel. I am not talking about the costs or the time constraints but cultural expectations. Going abroad is great way for Americans to see another country while also […]
