How did you engage with the local community while abroad?
While I was abroad, I experienced two of the biggest celebrations in Seville: Feria and Semana Santa. These are huge cultural events focused on community and togetherness. While attending these events, I met locals and saw the love that they have for their country.
what's one story or important aspect you always tell people about your time abroad?
When talking about being abroad, I always discuss how kind everyone was to me. I was very intimidated going to a country where English wasn't the first language spoken but the people in Seville were so patient and kind. I always felt welcome which made my experience so much more impactful.
