Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
I chose to study abroad in Spain because of the opportunity to be fully immersed in another culture. I always had the travel bug and studying abroad in Granada has given me the chance to travel and learn as much as I can in depth for a longer time. Understanding various places around the world and how people live is a life changing possibility that I couldn't pass up and I am so glad that I didn't! 

Why did you choose your study/intern destination?
I chose a Granada study abroad program because I wanted a smaller, coastal city vibe compared to popular Spanish places like Madrid and Barcelona. Granada offers great, grand things like free tapas and the breathtaking historic Alhambra and a close-knit city feeling with the beautiful Sierra Nevada range in the background. Every time I come back from a weekend trip, I am happy to return to my home place of Granada! 

What are you most looking forward to during your study/intern experience?
I am most looking forward to traveling on the weekends and longer breaks. I see how easy it is to travel between European countries and how effortless it is to navigate the train and bus systems. Experiencing different cultures in Europe is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am so glad that I have the privilege of doing this! 

what's a Fun Fact about you (hobbies, interests, accomplishment, etc.)?
I joined the Granada Ultimate Frisbee team! We meet on Mondays and Thursdays and have beach tournaments throughout the semester. Everyone on the team was super welcoming and it feels good to play frisbee with locals!
