Pre-Departure for Spain!
Date
January 4, 2015
I have so many emotions going through my head right now as I prepare for my trip to Spain! I am excited and nervous. It is nerve wracking because there is so much more to packing that people do not seem to realize, well much more than I realized. I was too ecstatic about Spain and the wonderful places I have yet to see, that I forgot about things such as making sure I know how to handle money transactions when abroad and buying adapters. Instead of overwhelming myself, I contacted people who traveled to Europe to get their advice about what I should do. After talking to them, I felt much more relieved. Some tips I was told were to make sure to check the weight sizes allowed by my airline, to make sure that I do not get overcharged and to be creative when thinking about my gift to my host family. I cannot wait to meet my host family! Now, it is less than three days away to get on the plane and hope for the best of this experience! My goal is to try something new and different everyday while I am abroad!
