Alejandra Olvera (she/her) chose to study abroad this summer to immerse herself in a culture and location she’s never visited before, and is hoping to feel like a local in Madrid during her time there. She looks forward to taking her Intercultural Communications course, since she loves the subject and is excited for the interactive elements. Through her internship, she also hopes to learn more about Spanish work culture and improve her Spanish language skills. Alejandra loves thrifting, listening to live music, going to new cafes and coffee shops, hiking, dancing, and exploring new places, and hopes to explore all her interests while in Madrid. Check out her posts to follow her along on her adventures in the capital of Spain!
