To those who could still consider going abroad

Please do. I've never learned so much about myself in such a short period of time ever in my entire life. Although not all the experiences have been happy, on a whole they are and gneerally thy have been some of the most happy memories of my life to this point. Things here, living in Europe, being young, and just being surrounded by like-minded people while learning a language and a culture is an experience that you will never forget. My only word of advice is to bring yourself ready to throw yourself completely into the experience. The only people here who've seemed to have any trouble at all are those that came with things holding them back from previous places. Although this isn't always a choice made intentionally, if you can plan for it i'd suggest coming completely free.

If you are considering spanish places, particularly Spain I'd highly suggest Seville. The city here is incredible, full of life, touristy enough to be completely welcoming, but sevillano enough to ensure that you get a fully Andalucian experience. The city is relatively safe, the spaniards (while generally the most creepy men my girlfriends have ever met) friendly, and the option for travel to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco is an added bonus.

This place is certainly incredible, and everyday I certainly give thanks for the luck that this place is so great. I certainly could have put more effort into picking a place, but in the end by luck almost I got it right. Seville is awesome!

Can't wait for you to experience abroad.
