A very important part of my family and how I felt after returning from Europe
- The best thing about being home is that every thing is familiar. I don’t have to ask permission to do anything and daily life isn’t a mystery. The very best thing is that I got to see my family, friends and my lovely dog.
- Before coming to Spain, I originally believed that my Spanish was great. For some reason while I was there, I had a harder time communicating. I had to learn that every Spanish speaking country has their own words and ways of communicating.
- I don’t really wish I did anything different in Spain. I learned how to navigate in another country, live with a host family, and learned a new culture.
- What I miss most from being abroad is the environment. I loved how everyone was so relaxed and friendly.
- Pro tip – You are going to be jet lagged for a bit after you travel. I had a 12 hour direct flight back to the U.S. and it took me a few days to acclimate.
