What an amazing two weeks this trip was. Barcelona was somewhere I had always wanted to visit, and I’m so glad I had the chance to go with a big group like this. We got to explore the city and visit some local businesses, and it was amazing to see how their culture combined with their business practices. It definitely opened my eyes to a perspective outside of America. While it was only two weeks, it sure was busy, and we got to see so many cool places before we left. We saw amazing architecture, shops, the coast, and so much more. I made so many great friendships that I know will last a lifetime. We were also able to pick up some Spanish when we were there, which made us feel (slightly) less like tourists. The city is beautiful and has so many unique things about it. If anyone is considering studying abroad, please do it, as it is an experience like no other. I wish I didn’t have to leave so soon, but I’m so grateful I was able to experience it!
