Year Abroad Q&A: Part 2
One of my first posts as a student blogger was a question and answer session based around the year abroad, which can be found here. Now that I’ve completed my time in both France and Spain, I thought I’d repeat those questions, considering my experiences.
Sun, Sea and San Sebastián
As mentioned in my previous post, I spent last weekend in San Sebastian, Spain. Although this trip involved crossing the French/Spanish border, the journey only took three hours by bus and cost me a mere 10€ each way. And it was more than worth it! In addition to the stunning architecture in the old […]
Universidad de Salamanca
I wanted to take the opportunity presented by my very first vlog to show you a little bit of my world last semester. The year abroad is a nerve-wracking time for many student, mostly because we don’t know what’s going to happen or what we can expect. I hope my blogs over the last few […]
The Halfway Point
This week, in addition to finding my way around a new city, I managed to finish up all the last pieces of homework and paperwork from last semester. This means that I have officially completed my first semester, and have hit the halfway point in my year, abroad. I thought this made for a […]
Toledo- The Final Countdown
This is it, my final few days in Spain and the end of my first semester abroad! As of tomorrow, I will once again be dragging all my worldly possessions behind me in a suitcase as I head to Madrid for the night, before my early flight on Friday morning. To say that I […]
Feeling Christmassy Abroad
The Christmas season is well and truly upon us and, yet, stuck in a country with whose Christmas traditions I am unfamiliar, I’m finding it a little difficult to get into the festive mood. The truth is, it’s family and friends who make the Christmas season what it is, and I have a thousand […]
Castilla y León
Over the past few weekends, I’ve started to slowly explore the area around Salamanca. While the city that is hosting me is fascinating in its own right, I’ve discovered some amazing places on my travels, from the small village of La Alberca to the UNESCO world heritage site that is Segovia. For anyone considering […]
A New Adventure
So, I have officially been in Spain for four days. Day one was a blur of travelling, emotional goodbyes and the trials of dragging all the worldly belongings that I own for the next four months behind me in two suitcases. I spent my first day in Madrid. Other than the whole moving country […]
Year Abroad Q&A
The main focus of this blog, for the next year anyway, will be my experiences on my year abroad. As a student of French and Spanish, this means that I will be splitting my time equally between the two countries. The first half of my adventure will be in the Spanish city of Salamanca […]
