WELCOME!

 
A photo of me studying abroad in Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Summer 2019
¡Bienvenidos! Whether you are a friend, family member, or stranger, I'm happy to have you here. For those of you who may not know, I am about to embark on my biggest adventure yet - I will be spending my Spring 2024 semester abroad in Madrid, Spain! As a sophomore nursing student, I will not only be taking my nursing classes in Madrid, but also my first round of clinicals! Studying abroad has been a dream of mine since middle school and it's crazy to think that it will become a reality in a few short days. I've decided to write about my future travels and experiences in Madrid and the rest of Europe (and possibly Africa...) as a way to hold myself accountable in keeping my parents up to date on what I'm doing;) But, also, as a way for me to look back on this monumental moment in my life for years to come. I'm so excited to share what my future travels, classes, and life looks like for the next few months. With 18 credits, and 2 (maybe 3) full suitcases, I can't wait to see what's in store. So, with that being said, buckle your seatbelts everyone, because this adventure is about to take off on January 7th! ¡Hasta luego!

FINLAND: TAMPERE

This is it. My last trip abroad. How has the day already come? I landed in Helsinki late in the morning, and Emilia met me at the airport. We got a quick lunch and stopped to get candy for the train ride. While we were on the train headed to Tampere, Emilia and I heard a loud crash coming from our train carriage. The train immediately stopped, and we weren't exactly sure what all happened. It turns out there was a person on the train tracks. I'm not going to go into details, but make your own assumptions about the most probable thing that could happen to a person if they got hit by a train. That was not a great start to being in the "happiest country in the world". On a more positive note, we eventually made it to Tampere, and Emilia's mom drove us back to their house. We relaxed at the house for a bit before me, Emilia, and Emilia's sister Olivia went to an international food market. I picked the best time to come to Finland because this food market is only o...

MOROCCO: TANGIER & CHEFCHAOUEN

It's the first trip outside of Spain, and I've already went to another continent! My group and I left Friday morning to head to the airport. In total, there were 9 girls going, so it was a big group. We used the airline Ryanair, and checking in with them was a little more time-consuming than what I’m used to, but we made it through check-in and security smoothly. Then, we split into a smaller group, and a few of us went to Starbucks for breakfast. We paid for seats for the first flight just to make things easier, and most of us were in the same section of the plane! The flight went well, and I started a book that I could not put down the entire flight. Once we landed, we went through customs and met up with our tour guides, who told us to exchange some of our euros for dirhams because many of the places we were going to don’t accept cards. While waiting, the weather shifted out of nowhere, and it started pouring rain. It was cold, windy, and rainy, so the trip was not off to th...
