My Blog & Spain

I will be flying to Spain in less than a month. I will be spending the semester there studying at the University of Salamanca. I will be trying to keep this Blog updated at least weekly with photos and anecdotes from my time in Spain and may very well continue it during my future travels.

In recent news, registration for my classes in Spain opens in about five days. Several people have asked me if I'm excited or nervous but in many ways I am neither of those things. Of course I am looking forward to what will undoubtedly be an incredible experience but it simply seems like a logical continuation of my life up to this point.

For anyone interested in studying abroad, whether it be in Spain or not, I would warn you of the bureaucracy involved. Although once the paperwork was submitted the process went surprisingly quickly, visa application was continually more and more convoluted along the way, with new requirements popping up unexpectedly sometimes weekly. Tourism in Europe is generally fairly straight forward as a US citizen but work, study or more permanent residence can be a very complicated and frustrating process.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or want me to include anything in particular in my future posts.

Thanks for reading!
