I am from Cincinnati, Ohio and attend The Ohio State University where I study Linguistics and Spanish. I decided to study in Barcelona because I was really excited about the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city combined with the classic Spanish culture. Also, the close proximity to the Pyrenees Mountains was very appealing to me because I plan on visiting that area at least once. I am partnering with Anderson High School in Ohio because I went there and I still have very good connections with the Spanish department as my mom is a Spanish teacher. As a result it will be very easy to set up the blog corresponding to the syllabus of the students. I hope to, through the blog, record my most memorable experiences here in Spain along with the normal day-to-day life I will live. Also, I want to share my experiences with my family and friends and with other Spanish students who may be inspired to also study abroad and explore Spain and Spanish culture.
