Either I am a bad luck charm or Vueling Airlines is too cheap for its own good because this is the second time that my flight has been cancelled coming home. I am going to stick with the latter and cross my fingers for the next time. Anyways, it was all part of the adventure…

Oviedo: September 3rd to September 17th
I arrived in Oviedo, Spain a few weeks ago and I’m having a great time so far. Adjusting to the lifestyle in Oviedo was not too difficult to get adjusted to and I felt right at home within the first few days. Oviedo has rich culture and exciting, exploring the city made me love it…
Oviedo, Spain
So since my last blog post, I have done a bit of traveling. After returning from London, I decided to spend more time within Spain for the next couple weeks. I celebrated San Mateo for the first time in Oviedo. The festivities included everyone meeting up in a park and watching a firework show! Then…
Oviedoooo
It has been almost a month abroad, and I have managed to see Madrid, London, Gijón, and Cudillero. In Cudillero, there is a beach that is considered one of the best in Spain, and when you go there, you understand why.

Remember that time…
Remember that time my flight got cancelled on my way back from Barcelona? Let’s back up a little. Last weekend I took a trip with two friends to Barcelona and all I can say is Barcelona has stolen a piece of my heart. The city is incredible! Saturday we walked almost 11 miles touring the…

Week 2
I have officially been in Spain for 15 days, which coincidentally enough is the same amount of time that my host mom said it would take me to understand her completely. While I don’t think I’m exactly there yet, I feel like I’m getting better everyday and I understand almost everything she says now. Last…
Week One in Oviedo
My first week in Spain has felt non-stop. After spending less than 24 hours in Madrid, I flew to Oviedo. From there I met my host mom, and we immediately started classes the next day. After a week, I feel adjusted to Oviedo and the time change. I was not prepared for all the hills…
