Ready, set...

In just a few short hours, I will begin my semester-long journey to Barcelona, Spain. I've been planning for months and packing for days, but it is still hard to believe that it's finally here. Regardless, I can't wait!

As I navigate my way through Spain — and beyond — I will do my very best to keep a record of my time abroad here.

I will be studying in Barcelona through CASB, a partnership between seven American and three Spanish universities. Along with 50 or so other students, I will be living in a dorm and taking my classes (fully en español — eek!) at the local schools.

But for now, I'm off! While I'm away, the best way to stay in touch is via email —and stay tuned for updates here. Wish me luck!
