Mi última semana. ¡Qué triste!
Hey all! It’s the final week of my program in Sevilla and everything’s starting to come to a close. These six weeks have FLOWN BY! It’s been sort of crazy trying to fit everything in that I’ve wanted to do in Sevilla and kept putting off thinking that there was a ton of time left to do it. Leaving is definitely going to be bittersweet. I’ve grown really close to a lot of the people in the...
Muchos Viajes
Hey! So long time no blog…. It’s definitely been a crazy last two weeks full of travel and school!
The Seville program gives us 2 long weekends (one three day and one four day) in which we’re free to do whatever we want. For the three day, me and 10 other people from my program went to Madrid, the capital city. To save money we chose to pay 35 Euros for a 6 hour bus ride instead of the 200 it...
¡YO SOY ESPAÑOL, ESPAÑOL, ESPAÑOL!

Before coming over to España, there were two things that I decided I MUST do: experience a discoteca and a bullfight (corrida). They are two very different things, but both are VERY Spanish.
First stop: Discoteca.
One night last week, me and about 10 girls from our program made the 45 minute trek to...
¡Bienvenidos a España!
Hey Everyone! This is the first time I’ve had internet since my voyage to España, so I’ve got a lot to spill.
The trip over was definitely an experience. Our travel group left the States on Tuesday, May 12 at 2:45 and didn’t arrive to our hotel in Sevilla until Wednesday at 18:00 (over here, they use military time—muy difícil comprender). Surprisingly, only one bag in our group was lost in the...
En Sevilla and loving it! I’ll get the blog working soon, besos to all!
Apparently, in Spain, requesting for a second serving is taken as an indication that you liked the food. I’m going to fit in just fine.
