AHHHHHH

Just realized there are only 13 days leftǃǃSuper excited for Cadiz, I already know my host family. They are a couple with a doggy. My roommate is Addie and she seems really nice. She lives in Washington but used to live in Manhattan, close to where I live. I still haven't decided what to get them as a gift. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Thoughts Before I Go....

I love meeting new people, taking on new challenges and travelling to new places. Cadiz is the best place to start. I am part of the community of the world and want to experience it all. Spain has such a rich culture filled with gorgeous beaches, tight families, and bull fights. The idea of staying in a home stay is really exciting. People can visit countries and never really know what the country is about. When I go to Cadiz this summer, I will try to push myself to be open minded and try everything I can If you listen to all your fears you miss out on a lot. My goal is to improve my Spanish grammar while I am there. With my Spanish, I can see the world more from their perspective. Learning languages helps break social barriers. I wonder how different Spain is from my New York home. For now, I just need to start packing.
