During high school, I studied abroad for a year outside of Barcelona. Going to public high school (in Catalan!) and doing a homestay with a family in a smaller town gave me a real appreciation for the unique culture of the area--there's nothing quite like immersing yourself in a new country and language, whether it's for a year, a semester, or even a few weeks! I am preparing to study abroad again, this time in Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunisia, to study Politics, Migration, and Religious Integration in the Mediterranean, and look forward to trying "the best cous-cous in the world"!
