Only 3 more days left and I will be jet-setting across the globe to beautiful Barcelona, Spain. Wow I cant believe it is almost here...it seems like I've been waiting for this forever. I finally got my okay to go from GWU. I've been running around Bozeman like a mad woman running lots of last minute errands, and doing a little shopping here and there. Now i just have to pack...what do I bring? Can I really live out of one suitcase for a whole semester? Wow thats going to be very difficult! It just gives me more incentive to pack less so I can buy more in Europe. Mom's already cut out a bunch of articles about places to eat, shop, visit etc... typical Carol.
I am so excited about this trip. Its going to be such an amazing experience and I cant wait to perfect my Spanish and maybe pick up a little Catalan. As sad as I am to leave the comfort of my home in Montana and my routine in DC I could not be happier about being able to spend a semester learning a new culture, language and eating new food. I will start one class at Universitat Pompeu Fabra the day after I arrive so i'm really getting thrown right into it. I'll be living in an apartment with 3 other girls in my program, who are all from the U.S. People keep asking me where I plan on traveling while i'm abroad and I've been having a really hard time deciding which places to go to...so i'm composed a little list of where I want to go:
-Obviously travel all over Spain.
-Venice, Italy
-Amsterdam
-Portugal
-Seville, Spain
-Greece
-Malmo, Sweden (so i can visit Alex Wugk and eat some yummy food)
-Croatia...maybe after i'm done with my program or for spring break
-Paris, France
-And just to say I did it I may have to squeeze in a Ski trip in the Pyrenees
Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions of fun and different places to visit. Just to let you all know I plan on blogging about amazing meals that I have while traveling so all my readers (and my mom) can vicariously live through me. Hopefully next time I post I'll be living it up in Barcelona!!
