La formentera and Ibiza defiantly do not disappoint -La Formentera & Ibiza, Spain
my travel twin, i love her so so much. We spend every single day together, and I have no idea how I’m going to be able to get through the day not seeing her beautiful face. She’s changed my life, and I’m so grateful I got a chance to meet someone as wonderful as her, you are forever my schmetterling ❤️. T-7 days until I have to leave my home and all the beautiful people that tagged along and impacted my journey

The most important thing while living abroad is to live in the moment, and be as present as possible. Right now, that’s the hardest thing to do. For one, my time in Spain is coming to an end, with only less than three weeks left until I say goodbye, my emotions are swaying back and forth like crazy. These days I’ve been counting down until I get to see my family, yet realizing as I’m running in track or upside down in yoga that these are the last times I’ll be doing the things I look forward to everyday here. I’ve met so many amazing people on this journey, grew as a person and realized so many aspects about myself I didn’t even know I could possibly have in me. This experience was suppose to be a learning, studying, and cultural journey, but I’m leaving with so much more than that. I’ve done a lot more than I ever imagined I would while being here, and fought through the hardest times of my life, yet am so grateful I went through them. As of right now, the only thing I can do is wake up everyday and just live, because even though I’m counting down the days until I get to go back and see all the beautiful places and faces I’ve missed, they will still be there when I get home, whereas these moments in Spain only last for so long.

It’s May, and with one and a half months left it’s getting hard. My emotions are constantly in both directions, I’m so excited to see my family and get back to Boulder, but I’ve built a life and a community here that I absolutely love. Everyday it’s seems as though I’ve just arrived, waking up and walking to school, going to yoga, track, or even just walking to my favorite fruit tree to meditate is something I look forward to everyday. My town is small, so no matter where I go there is someone to talk to and catch up, and life is so simple because honestly there is no significant problems or stress, so I can just relax and live. Every weekend I’ve been doing something, and it’s been amazing to soak it all in. The first couple days in May I went to Barcelona with AFS for a mini tour, and it was breath taking. From the train ride along the beach to the Sagrada Familia, there are so many diverse places and things to see, every destination was super different from the last. Since the sun is out and the weather is golden, I’ve been going to the beach and exploring different parts of Valencia as much as I can, finding new cafes and cute areas. My goal this month is to just breath and be present, not to worry or count down the days until I see my family (even though it’s super hard) and be grateful for the opportunities that I’ve experienced and will be experiencing these next couple weeks.

March is such a beautiful time here in Spain, the weather warms up and the flowers of peach and orange trees begin to bloom.
I travelled a lot this month, from Berlin to Holland, and I couldn’t be more content with how this experience is going. My host family and I are at an amazing place, and I’m feeling so at home now. The issue with this feeling is the hard ship that’s going to start coming my way with emotions about going home, and leaving all of this behind. I have less than three months left, and I’ve accomplished so much during my time here, that I feel as though I’ve lived the best life possible (initially without the ones I love) and growing to love people and places here. This next part of my journey, which is only two and a half more months, is about watching and grasping as much culture as possible as well as love and cherish the things I’ve gotten to know before I return. Things I think and do normally here and don’t see as “unique,” but were very different for me when I first arrived, I want to tune into these and think about how they will change when I return to the states.

we took a lil trip to Berlin! I met up with one of my trimester AFS besties, visited museums, ate amazing food, saw some raw bits of the holocaust, walked along the Berlin Wall, and fell in love with Alexander Platz (the center plaza). -Berlin, Germany

The month of relaxation, is what I thought it was going to be. At first, I wanted February to be a time to whine down from the holidays, the fair, and focus on just living life in my tiny town. It’s true I relaxed a little bit more this month because of the colder weather and the multiple times I was sick, but I also took the opportunity of adventure whenever it arose, like going skiing in basically the middle of a desert. I did a lot of cool yoga stuff this month as well, including a half a day long course in water, on earth and ending in different yummy smelling saunas. It was one of the coolest things I’ve done yet, and definitely not the traditional Spanish experience, which is why my journey is going differently than I though, path wise. When I first came to Spain, I thought it was constant party, and don’t get me wrong, we do celebrate everything and have a town wide party every first Friday of the month, but my journey has involved a lot of yoga and meditation. By doing this, I’m so much more in tune to the changes of my body and mind. I’ve just started to really realize how much more I understand, like from when I was sitting in class being bored it was because I didn’t understand a word my teacher was saying. Now, I’m bored in class because I understand everything. By realizing that, I also realize things that used to feel foreign, and now can’t live without. With that, i’m at the point where I feel more and more apart of the community, and that’s what’s the hardest part about coming closer to the end.
