Why did you choose to study/intern abroad?
Studying abroad has been my dream ever since my first taste of international travel. This opportunity perfectly blends my love for other nations and my drive to experience life in a new and exciting way. Pursuing my studies while surrounded by the culture, architecture, and people of Spain will be my greatest adventure yet!
Why did you choose your study/intern city?
I chose Seville, Spain as my study abroad destination because it's unlike anywhere I have ever been. Seville is a vibrant, colorful place full of passionate people. I am eager to learn about the city's deep history while simultaneously experiencing the modern aspects of the culture. I am also pretty excited about that tropical climate!
What are you most looking forward to during your abroad experience?
Being a MOJO Blogger is going to be such an amazing part of my study abroad experience. I look forward to sharing my experiences through my writing and photography. On the weekends I'm excited to travel to different European cities through CEA excursions and personal travels. I also hope to improve my newly-acquired Spanish language skills by speaking with locals.
Fun Fact (hobbies, interests, accomplishment, etc.)?
I took four years of German language classes in high school, so going to a Spanish-speaking country was a great leap of faith for me! I am an archery instructor, amateur photographer, and avid adventure-seeker. I spend my weekends hanging out in coffee shops with friends or hiking in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
