I LOVE ESPANA!

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in you shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."

Hey everyone! 

I'm studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain this semester and I decided that one of the best ways to share my experiences with you all is through a blog! Plus, it will be really awesome to eventually look back on. I have been in Spain for a little over a week now, and finally decided to start my blog. I hope you enjoy it, I expect to write about all of my adventures (and inevitable misadventures) in Sevilla and around Europe. I got the title of my blog from Dr. Suess, as you can see in my quote above. I really can't wait to explore, meet new people, and try new things. I have set a few goals for myself to hopefully accomplish by the end of these four months: 

Become fluent (or really comfortable with speaking) in Spanish

Explore every back street and alleyway of Sevilla

Go to Cinque de Terre in Italy

Visit my cousin in Amsterdam

Become friends with locals

Go to church in the Cathedral and grow in my faith (Psalm 139)
Volunteer or do some kind of community service in Sevilla 

Live freely and truly enjoy every second of my time here!

I think those are pretty reasonable goals, don't you? I'll probably add a few on the way, but those are just ones that I definitely want to accomplish. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to spend four whole months here. I am absolutely living a dream. A quick thanks to all of my friends and family for being so supportive! 

So join me on my journey! I'm hoping to post frequently, and maybe sometimes with some Spanglish, so be prepared! 

Adios!
