how did you engage with the local community while abroad?
While abroad I engaged with the local community everyday whether it was stopping for coffee or just an interaction on a street in Seville. By being fully emerged in the local community I experienced first hand what it meant to live abroad.

what's one story or important aspect you always share about your time abroad?
When talking about my study abroad experience, I always talk about how it was one of the most scariest decisions I've ever made. Hopping on a plane to another country, not knowing anyone going can't get more scary than that. However when I arrived to Spain, I immediately knew I made the right decision because just about everyone was in the same boat as me. The friends I made throughout my time abroad was one of the best things that ever happen to me and I'm lucky I got to experience so many things with them.
