I participated in the internship track on verano espanol at IFEMA-Feria de Madrid, where I worked in the Convention Management department. Working in convention management required scheduling, promotion, and operations management. My tasks day-to-day required me to edit and input data into excel and powerpoint. I also had to check fair schedules and add potential…
Last weeks in Madrid
To culminate the last few weeks in Madrid, we spent a lot of time revisiting some of the best museums, markets, restaurants and views in the city and the experience as a whole was extremely rewarding. Certainly many of these memories will last with me for a life time as many of the customs and…
Adios Madrid
This is a picture of my buddy Davis and I testing out our own irrigation system in an old abandoned castle in an abandoned town just outside of rural Candelario. The last three weeks in Madrid have been more exciting than I could have asked for. Even though I am getting on a flight in…
Valencia
The picture I included are of giraffes at Bioparc in Valencia and Valencia beach. I went to Valencia last weekend and spent plenty of time on the beach. I would definitely recommend Valencia to any students doing the Verano program next year. There’s plenty of things to do and see in Valencia like modern architecture,…

My Last Weeks in Madrid!
My last three weeks in Madrid were incredible. During the weekends I went to Candelaria and Seville which were both amazing! Candelario was so relaxing. It was nice to be away from the city and just hang out. Seville was absolutely gorgeous. It was a little hot but gave us a great opportunity to eat…
