I have been spending a lot of Sundays at home when I first arrived here, usually preparing for the week ahead and resting from the weekend the same way we do in America. But this past Sunday two of my housemates and I decided to go out into the city and just simply explore. We …

Somewhere Far(o) Away

On March 25, 2019 By mikelahburLeave a comment

This past weekend I took my first trip on my own to Faro, Portugal. We stayed in an Air bnb right on the beach, and were about a 20 minute drive from the city center of Faro. Portugal is a beautiful country and the movement between the two countries was so free I didn't even …

Flamenco in Sevilla

On March 25, 2019 By mikelahburLeave a comment

My program allowed us to sign up to go to a sort of introductory Flamenco show. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I arrived at the studio but I was pleasantly surprised by what followed. The dancer (baile) first explained what Flamenco was and how important it is to the Spanish culture. There …

Flash back to about a month ago, my classes had just started and we are doing typical ice breakers in each class. The question that was asked in every class was "Why did you choose Sevilla as a place to study?" and the answers varied but most had one common variable, and that was the …

Food & Growth

On February 19, 2019 By mikelahburLeave a comment

I am very picky, I know what I like and what I don't and it is rare that I ever venture outside of that. Before I came I decided I was going to leave this trait behind and say yes to everything. I have been ordering new foods and trying everything that is put in …

Spanish Stereotypes in Real Life

On February 12, 2019 By mikelahburLeave a comment

Before coming to Spain I took a pre-departure class that prepared us as global scholars for the journey we were about to embark on. As a part of this class I had to research Spain in detail to understand the culture and structure of the country as well as I could. The goal of this …

My First Excursion

On February 8, 2019 By mikelahburLeave a comment

For the year of 2019 I decided to choose a word/characteristic for the year, rather than setting a typical resolution where I vow to work out more or eat healthier. I have found this type of resolution much easier to stick to and grow in because you simply attempt to weave and expand on that …

Nothing can prepare you for the feeling of walking away from your family to get on a plane, and fly thousands of miles away from everything you know. A range of emotions from nervousness to excitement overwhelmed me as boarded the plane. And the nervousness only grew the closer I got to my host country. …
