十一 | Still in the books
October 9th, 2016 *No pictures As you can see I’ve been having so much fun, but rest assured I’m putting in just as much work into courses. I do find my classes interesting which is a plus so the work is less of a drag. Just a reminder all of my classes are taught in ...
Raíces: Museo Arqueológico Nacional
Qué tal mi gente, Wow, this week went by super fast. I have a ton of homework this weekend. Classes are starting to pick up speed after a few slow weeks. I enjoy all of my classes. They are all very interesting, different and, above all, challenging in their own regard, especially Advanced Spanish. It’s probably the ...
Cachai?: Pucón Parte 2
Hola amigos! This post will be a little more visual meaning more photos and less text in order to not make this post too long. Anyways, the photos I will be showing you all below are of Volcano Villarica and Parque Nacional Huerquehue. They are not the best quality since they were taken on my ...
Cachai?: Pucón Parte 1
Hola amigos! So this past weekend I went with a large group of friends to the small city of Pucón, Chile. This place is gorgeous and the natural beauty surrounding the city, like Lake Villarica and Volcano Villarica, have made Pucón a big tourist attraction. The outskirts of city have an array of small, town-like ...
The French Rivera
There’s something peaceful about Nice, France that can’t be captured via picture. A visit to these stone-beaches are a must for those seeking a weekend of serenity. After an arduous week of classes, an escape was necessary. I took my first overnight train to Nice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did I save money ...
Raíces: Barcelona & El Pilar Festival
Qué tal amigos, I had a nice time at Barcelona this past weekend! The road trip itself was very long. Due to laws in Spain that prohibit a bus driver from driving for more than four hours, we had to make three stops each way, so the trip took eight hours on the road to get ...
Raíces: Museo de Ciencias Naturales
Hola todos, I am writing this post on my phone while on my way to Barcelona!! I am super excited. I will write all about how the trip went in my next post, so be sure to check it out next Tuesday. I went to the museum of natural sciences. It’s a 10-minute walk from ...
Raíces: Aranjuez & Chinchón
Hola amigos, I had such a nice time at Aranjuez and Chinchón! Aranjuez used to be the town where the royal family would vacation for Spring and Summer in the 16th and 17th centuries. The royal palace there is a historic site. It is used today as a museum for tourism. The palace is surrounded ...
Cachai?: Cena Internacional
Hola amigos! This weekend I could not really do anything fun since I have 2 exams this week which I really need to study for. Although most of this weekend was far from exciting and was mostly just studying, we did have a small “international dinner” (“cena internacional”) the past Friday at my residency. Everyone ...
Oh What A Wonderful Week It has Been!
Hi! My name is Sarah Adigba and I’m currently studying abroad at the University of Sheffield. It’s been a week since I arrived in the UK and it’s been a whirlwind of an experience. My journey here was uneventful. I booked a super-cheap ticket on Thomas Cook airlines and slept through most of it. Then ...
