These last two weeks have been going by slowly. For one, I haven’t taken any trips on my own because they are all planned for November. Secondly, we have had excursions with our supervisor Ana. The first excursion we took was during the first weekend of November and we went to Leon! This was one…

Traveling 101
After all of the traveling I have been doing throughout Spain and Europe (stay tuned) I like to think that I have picked up some tricks of the trade. I have become a pro-packer. One backpack, a jacket, a purse and I am good for at least 3-4 days. There are plenty of options for…
Island Time
If we are being honest, I have started to watch Lost on Netflix so when I decided to go to the island of Mallorca I was just hoping it would not be the same experience. Thankfully Mallorca, Spain was a beautifully peaceful island complete with white sandy beaches, an interesting history, and loads of adventure…
Spain Study Abroad Update
So this last two weeks I have explored to Ribadesella, Spain and Brussels and Amsterdam! Ribadesella was a trip I took through Rollins and it was absolutely beautiful. It is almost hard to believe how beautiful some of these places are that are practically in my backyard. My twin and I ventured to Brussels and…
Madrid and Toledo
These past two weeks I spent traveling to Madrid and Toledo. Before my travels, I was unfortunate enough to get sick and spent almost a week trying to recover. By the time I got to Madrid, I met up with friends and made sure to get plenty of sleep that night so I would recover…
Twincation
I was lucky enough to spend the last week visiting Brussels and Amsterdam with my twin. When I read about Brussels, I now know they are not kidding about your diet being waffles, fries, and chocolate. In the past week, I probably consumed about 7 waffles. Brussels had an abundance of chocolate shops that were…
Excursions, Excursions Everywhere….
Since the last time I’ve written about my travels, I have had a little bit of time to rest and recharge after the consecutive travels I encountered. Although one week consisted of starting classes at the University of Oviedo, the next had many excursions in store! Classes: At first, I tested into intermediate II for…
Week number 8
It has been about eight weeks here, and it feels like it has been two. Over the past two weeks, I went to Barcelona and started classes at the University of Oviedo. So far, Barcelona has been my favorite place. Barcelona has something for everyone. Whether you want to see culture, the beach, or site…
Oviedo, Spain
Another two weeks spent in Spain! These last two weeks have been great because I have explored more in Spain rather than traveling to a different country. This past weekend, Rollins students and I explored to Picos de Europa which was incredibly beautiful and extremely windy. Even the drive up to picos was beautiful. Next we…
A Weekend Asturiana
The theme of this past weekend was towns of Asturias. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Spanish principalities, Asturias is a region of northwest Spain whose regional capital is….Oviedo! So this weekend I was able to explore the province that surrounds my temporary home here in Spain, thanks to the organization of Rollins….
