My experience
I have always enjoyed travelling so the idea of being able to travel, experience a new culture and meet new people whilst studying was something that really excited me.
The experience helped me to gain plenty of independence and time-management skills. Completing a subject with 13-weeks worth of content in just under 3 weeks was very fast-paced, but I still managed to find lots of time to explore Barcelona and enjoy my time in a fantastic city.
Favourite memory
My favourite memory from the experience was the overnight trip to Girona - it was a beautiful city. I also enjoyed cooking traditional paella and visiting the amazing Sagrada Familia.
