Coolest place! Best people!

I studied abroad spring 2023 in Barcelona, I didn’t know what to expect and I was doing this completely alone. I immediately felt like I was part of a community of people who wanted to change their lives and see the world. Everything from my program director to the places I traveled to was amazing. Nicole (Onsite Director) really cares for her students and does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and loved! I wish I could go back and do it over again, leaving Barcelona was so hard. By the end of my semester, Spain had become home and the people became family. I am so grateful for CIS and the effort they put into their students.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I solo traveled to about 13 of the 16 countries I visited while studying abroad. I was nervous about going to places where I would standing out as a young female tourist alone, especially at first. I lived by the phrase ‘fake it till you make it’ and it really saved me. While solo traveling was probably the most nerve-racking, it was also the most rewarding!
