The last 5 and half months have been nothing but incredible. While taking a full semester of classes at Queen Mary University of London and working towards my Biochemistry major, I had the opportunity to travel to 15 different countries besides England (Slovakia, France, Italy, Monaco, Iceland, Ireland, Poland, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany…
Segovia Day Trip
Studying and working abroad in Spain has been an amazing experience. Besides going to the Don Quijote Academy to learn Spanish and working at IFEMA, I have participated in several cultural activities that have expanded my knowledge of the Spanish people and their culture. One of my favorite cultural activities was visiting the town of…
Final Thoughts: Morocco
It’s been a few weeks now since I left from my study abroad in Ifrane, Morocco. My time there was followed by a brief three days in London, England, before I returned home to Orlando. My first few days back in the United States felt a almost surreal- suddenly I no longer faced obstacles of…
Preparing for Studying Abroad in Buenos Aires (ISA)
As my time in the United States comes to a close, I feel as if time is at a stand still. The fact that I am leaving in a few days hasn’t sunk in yet, even though I have spent the last few months preparing for this experience. I am studying abroad with ISA and…

This picture is from the Spain vs Sweden European Cup match. The atmosphere was unlike any other that I have experienced during a professional sports game.

The Finale
I can not believe that I am back home in Nepal writing my final blog post. The last 6 months have been a complete roller coaster ride, to say the least. Like everything in life, you only appreciate what you have until it is taken away from you! Looking back, although I felt like I…
Weekend in Candelario
Prior to coming to Spain, I had never even heard of Candelario. The little town located in Salemanca was often mentioned by my host mother, as she talked of its history and beautiful sights. Even after the high praise my host mother gave the place, I did not see myself enjoying the place, until I…
Weekend in Candelario
Our weekend excursion to Candelario has been the highlight of my trip this far. I enjoyed every aspect of it! On our way Candelario, we stopped in Salamanca and took a guided walking toward around the city. The architecture was phenomenal, (especially the doors to the cathedral). When we arrived in Candelario, my friends and…
Spain vs. Sweden European Cup Qualifier Match
Spain hosted Sweden on June 11th, 2019 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid for a Group F EURO 2020 qualifying match. Growing up playing, watching, and being a fan of Spanish football, I knew that there was no way I would go on to miss this match. It has always been a dream of…
Candelario
The weekend trip to Candelario has been my favorite part of Verano Espanol so far. The bus ride out of the city had beautiful views of the mountains which were just a preview for what Candelario would be like. I had seen pictures of the city from past trips with the program, but pictures don’t…
