Katarina chose Spain as her destination, and her time in Barcelona turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of her life. Now that her journey is coming to an end, she reflects on everything she gained during her stay.
During my time in Spain—specifically in Barcelona—I got even more than I had hoped for. The host family was truly wonderful. We didn’t have any major issues, and everything could be resolved with a simple conversation. Even after I leave, we plan to stay in touch and visit each other. Just like I wanted, I got to learn so much about Spanish culture, I made many connections and friends, and I genuinely improved both my English and Spanish.
As a passionate foodie, Katarina made sure to dive into the local cuisine and even worked on her cooking skills. She spent most of her free time exploring, discovering new places, and enjoying the beautiful beaches and everything else the city had to offer.
I’m taking a Spanish course, and on the weekends, I soak in all the fun that Barcelona brings. I was lucky to have a lot of free time, and I used every minute of it to make sure I had the best days of my life, so far.
And her advice to anyone thinking about joining the program:
If you’re hesitating—don’t! You’ll learn so much and come back a better, more fulfilled version of yourself. I guarantee amazing fun, unforgettable memories, adventure, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
