My experience in Spain has been amazing. I fully enjoyed my time there, the culture and people are so warm you feel right at home even if you are a thousand miles away. My favorite time was my trip to Candelario during a weekend. Candelario is a little town close to Salamanca, its right by…

My last half of the trip was bittersweet. I felt extremely comfortable getting around Madrid and traveling on the Ave train. I felt like I saw a lot, explored random places and got to know my host family, classmates and other people in the program. I was ready to leave to see family and friends…
