I forgot to mention so far that I spent my Spring Break in Italy. I mean really does life get better than this. We flew into Milan and the adventures literally began the moment we stepped onto the plane. I met another American student abroad who had taken some Italian and…

Portugal…Obrigado
If you have had the wonderful opportunity of eating food from the international chain Nando’s , with a Portuguese theme, you have to know that delicious food is only a teaser for the authentic food of Portugal. One of the best decisions of that trip was to ask a local where some great Portuguese food…
Erasmus…ESN Trabaja, Tú te diviertes (ESN works, You enjoy)
If you hadn’t heard this word before, you will in Spain (or Europe) in general. I don’t know many other Erasmus programs, but I would venture to say that the Oviedo Team is one of the most enthusiastic group of international students in Europe currently. Having 1 of the 3 ESN houses in Europe, you can…
Bilbao….No lo subestimes (Don’t underestimate it)
For some reason, this Basque Country, so close to the border of France is not bragged about constantly. After a year abroad and visiting beautiful places all over the world, this city makes the top 5 for sure. With a history of an industrial city, it’s hard to believe there is so much beauty. If you…
Londres (London)
Let’s be real, studying abroad in Europe has so many perks. Access to all these neighboring countries is definitely not something to be taken for granted. Who knows when is the next time you will get a round trip flight to LONDON for $100 again. London is not to be taken for granted. Three days was…
Oviedo – Mi amor
Initially, I strongly believe that this study abroad program and Oviedo, as a ciudad(city), in general are completely underrated. In this picture, you have a snapshot of the beauty of Oviedo, and Spain’s architecture.(On a side note I highly recommend taking Arte Historia in Casa Las Lenguas – also counts as an A general education…
¡Muchas Gracias Rollins!
Not only had I had the increíble (incredible) opportunity to study abroad a semester in New Zealand, but I am having another oportunidad (opportunity) to study abroad. I am going to actually be spending 5 full months in España, in Oviedo! This is truly a dream come true. Coming from a hispanic background, and not…
Acción de gracias
I may or may not currently be wiping tears from my cheeks as I type this post. With Thanksgiving easily being my favorite day of the year it was definitely tough not being in the states. Since the holiday is not celebrated in Spain there were literally no signs that it was actually Thanksgiving. The only…
AMSTERDAM
As soon as I stepped foot into the Amsterdam airport I knew that it would be a great trip. I say this because the airport was already decked out in Christmas decorations, which makes any place feel homey, and it was only early November! However, back to the important stuff. Although I had seen pictures…
