Enrolling in the Global Entrepreneur & European Business Spain summer II 2021 is my best decision. I can see myself growing tremendously both on my personal and professional journey. Being abroad in Barcelona for four weeks has challenged me in many ways. Not only do we have to adapt to the jet lag in a short time, but we also try to learn the new culture and adapt to it as soon as possible.
We worked with Cristina Belenguer, an entrepreneur of Oh my guide! a local freelancing tour business in Barcelona. It has been a fantastic process. Our team used all the skills and knowledge we learned at Mays to help consult our entrepreneur in the company’s marketing plan. In class, we learned the importance of culture, self-leadership, and the perspective of stepping outside of our comfort zone.
Stepping outside of our comfort zone does not have to be significant! It starts when you try to speak Spanish with locals or try new food. The small action shows that you took a big step in your growth journey.
Our day trips and destination visits were incredible. We visited many places such as Sagrada Familia, Montserrat, Park G?ell, Casa Mila, Girona, and much more. The architectures are very different from what we use to see. The architectures are unique, creative, and fill with history and meaning behind them. Barcelona is a city full of history and excitement! I’m glad our group got to go on this trip to explore different cultures and histories while taking classes to grow personally and professionally.
