Month 2: Hello! The second month in Spain has flown by. The second month has been the most fun by far. Leading into your second month you finally get comfortable with knowing your way around the city, the classroom is more lively, you get into a routine at home, and you have Semana Santa and […]
I just got back from a week in Italy and as you would expect it was amazing. Which makes it painful for me to look back and realize I nearly didn’t go. When I thought about studying abroad I knew it was going to be scary at times. I have pretty bad anxiety and stepping […]
