    Yesterday was probably the longest day I’ve had since arriving in Italy (aside from my marathon arrival gauntlet experience). Maria Carla and I looked at books covering nearly the entire Marche (mar-kay) region – photographs, descriptions, tourist information – any type of information you could imagine compiled about this area of Italy, we looked at it. After a couple hours of poring over books, pamphlets, and websites I felt like my …

    I recently had someone contact me about volunteering abroad - why I did it, why I chose the organization I did, etc. While writing my response I decided the information could be helpful to others, so I'm publishing it here. Great questions and bravo to you for seeking people out to answer them! I’m from the US, originally from the Seattle area and currently living near Washington DC. Right now …

    Miércoles. This morning I didn't have class, thank goodness, so I had breakfast, tried to take a nap (and failed), then got ready and met some friends at the Eixample campus. The plan was to go to a park near the Sant Pau Campus, but we ended up running out of time and just walked around, eventually going to a mercado to buy lunch (pre-packaged sandwiches are 1,05!! I'm so going …

    Living in a foreign country presents a multitude of difficulties. Not only are you forced to operate in a society with differing social mores and cultural values, but unless you’re lucky enough to be fluent you will also face a significant language barrier. When the two of these combine, it can be emotionally exhausting. No matter how open-minded one is, it becomes tiresome to always feel like you are doing the …

    This past Sunday (the 5th) the Proworld gang went to Ollantaytambo (best described as a living Inca town).  The ancient (Incan-made) part of Ollantaytambo consists mainly of staircases leading up to a religious area where a temple would have been had it been completed (reasons as to why it’s unfinished is uncertain).  On top of its incompleteness, Spaniards reconquered this area in 1537 and partly destroyed the area in attempt …

    So far, I've held a total of one event. It was a Whose Line is it Anyway? night, and was quite successful. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and I managed to raise £220.

    My first two weeks in Spain have been nothing short of amazing. The Sevillanos are as welcoming and warm as the weather, which is sunny and mild even in January and February, and Sevilla is full of things to do and see. I’ve met so many people and made so many friends that I’m settling in very quickly and having the most fun I’ve had in a long time. My homestay …

    Martes. This morning I had Spanish, so I ate (and told Gloria I had salsa classes tonight so I wouldn't be at the apartment for dinner - she seemed to approve because she began to dance in the kitchen and talk about las Sevillanas again) and walked over to the Eixample campus. It was really sunny and clear today, but still cold. Class was fine...nothing really special about that today. Later …
