RUNNING AWAY

So here I am finishing packing my suitcase and the items on my "to-do" list are almost all checked off. Deep breath.

I am so excited for Oviedo, Spain and this is a new experience for me. Studying abroad before I get married is something on my bucket list, and this was my chance to cross it off! Spain appealed to me because I like practicing Spanish, and I love to travel to new places. Looking at photographs, there are also many interesting sites in the city; for example, San Francisco Park and Cámara Santa. I think Spain is a beautiful city and after the study abroad I plan to backpack around Europe with some friends! It's hard and scary leaving my family but I’m happy too. Another one of my biggest fears is losing my passport or camera. So, I will have to hold on to those like glue, and come what may!

I am so excited to meet my host family! There are three people in my family: My mom is a 50 year old single mom, and she has two daughters. One is 19 years old and the other is 17 years old. The oldest goes to the university, the younger graduates this year, and the mother keeps busy with her job. Their house is around a large park. From what I know, Oviedo is a small and quiet city. I can't wait to explore, smell the new smells, taste the new flavors, hear the new sounds, and soak it all up. I think I'm going to love it!

ADIOS SALT LAKE CITY Y BIENVENIDOS OVIEDO!

ONE BIG ADVENTURE COMING RIGHT UP!
