Hi everyone!!! I am back! So last weekend, I decided that it was a good idea to get out of London and go visit a country where I’ve never been before… That’s right, I went to Germany for the weekend. (That is one of the many cool things of coming to London for study abroad,…
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…
One month later…
I can’t believe it has already been over a month. Somehow, it has felt like one week but also a year. I love it here so much I never want to leave. It is going by so fast! Every weekend comes so quickly. Maybe it is because I only have class three days a week,…

However, so far I feel great! Of course I miss my family and friends but it’s hard to miss home when you are constantly travelling or…
Just Two Weeks Left!
Oops! This blog post should’ve been up a couple days ago, but guess who forgot to click publish? Anyways, since last time, a bunch of friends and I took a drive up to Wanaka last weekend to get out Dunedin for a bit. We had all been working tirelessly the entire week on long papers,…
My First Month
So, I know understand why the program requirement is to write a blog post every 2 weeks. It would probably be impossible to do it weekly, or every other day. So much happens in a short amount of time while we are abroad and to try to document every moment of it is implausible. I…
If your friends were all jumping off a bridge, would you?
Hey guys!! I am so happy! I got a chance to do one of the most iconic New Zealand hikes on the last weekend it was open – we were cutting it close. But anyways, let me back track. Last weekend, 10 of my friends that are in the TEAN program went to Wanaka. Wanaka…
