Study Abroad Reflection

Last summer, I studied abroad in Valencia, Spain! This experience was once in a lifetime and I am so glad I was persuaded to attend by one of my best friends, Victoria (my Spain roommate). We learned about the history, culture, and people of Spain while exploring its castles and countrysides. My roommate and I lived with a host mom and her two daughters for 6 weeks and experienced the city of Valencia with their expertise. They were kind and patient with our not so great spanish, and taught us what it meant to live life like the Spanish. My favorite part of the trip was traveling across the country to Peñiscolá. This town is located on a peninsula with gorgeous views from a castle. This town has rich history that attracts millions of tourists each year.
