My time in Brazil came to an end in the blink of an eye. Once again I understood the importance of living every single moment to the fullest because it all goes by before you know it. After about two years talking about study abroad and over a year trying to pick a country, I…
Madrid
Hola! So far Madrid has been a great time. One of my favorite parts was touring the Real Madrid stadium with some friends. It was incredible. I have never seen such perfect grass in my life.

My Trip to Valencia
Hola from Madrid! I have really been enjoying Madrid and all the other cities I have visited throughout Spain. So far I have visited Valencia and Barcelona and have enjoyed my time there as well.

¡Madrid!
Going to a Real Madrid game was one of the more exciting events of my time in Spain so far. The electric environment really gave me and all the friends I went with a very good impression of just how much Spaniards care about their favorite sport. I especially enjoyed the group of fans that…
Study Abroad In Madrid
Spain is full of so much history it becomes a little overwhelming, but it also means that there is always somewhere to go and something new to see.

Comida y Mas Comida
As much as the history and the culture has been absolutely enthralling and amazing, it is the food that has changed my life. The food I have experienced in Spain has been UNREAL. The level of freshness of the produce and fish is amazing. The meat is also very fresh, sometimes including eyes or other “extras”…
