"I haven't traveled much outside the states without my parents and this was definitely my first time staying by myself with a bunch of strangers I've never met in a country I've never been to before. I had my doubts in the beginning: Would I fit in? Would the food be okay? Am I going to regret going? But fortunately for me, I've met some of the funniest, greatest people and had the chance to hang out with them in the amazing city of Barcelona; the city is fabulous. I loved taking the metro, going to the cleanest beaches I've ever seen, eating authentic Spanish paella, watching the toro fight, seeing the matador get impaled and bragging that I caught it on video, overall I loved the people, I loved the city and my only grievance is that it was only three weeks."
