Studying abroad in Barcelona was the best decision I have ever made! I participated in the GlobalWorks Internship program and spent the summer working as a wedding planning intern. Working in such a vibrant city allowed me to immerse myself in the local culture, meet people from all over the world, and practice speaking Spanish. I loved attending all of the weddings that I was helping with and truly valued the hands-on experience of working with clients and suppliers.

What I loved most about my time in Barcelona was exploring the beauty of the city, meeting new people, and experiencing a different culture. One of the most memorable experiences was a day trip that I took with some of my best friends to Costa Brava, a coastal city in Spain. We spent the day going to incredible beaches and local markets.

The biggest takeaway from my experience was the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone to embrace new challenges and opportunities. It not only made me more independent but also provided clarity on where I want to live and the kind of career I want to pursue after graduation.
