I am very excited to spend the next five weeks in Spain! I have spent the last ten days in Germany and France, but I know that Spain will be very different. I am hoping that it will be a little bit less of a culture shock because I have at least some knowledge of the language and culture.
I am not sure what Spain will be like, but I know that it will be a new experience that I will be able to learn a lot from. This trip is my first experience in a foreign country for an extended period of time. I have already learned so much about myself and what I'm capable of, but I know that the next five weeks will be even more of an eye opener for me.
Surprisingly, my biggest fear and the thing that I am most excited for happen to be the same thing: staying with a host family. Until now, I have always had some sort of comfort zone that made me feel safe. I am afraid to stay alone with a host family, but I am excited because I know that I will learn a lot about myself and what I'm capable of--and learn a lot of Spanish simultaneously. All in all, I hope to gain a better understanding of not only the Spanish language, but also the Spanish culture. I also hope to gain a better understanding of myself and what I am capable of. Bring on the new experiences!
