Nacel Study Abroad - Asturias, Spain

I went to Asturias, Spain for my junior year of school in 2023/2024. There are very few negative things that I can think to say about my trip. I loved my host parents (Marioli and Jose) and my host sisters (Ana and Kurumi). Everyone from my family to the students in my institution were supportive, helpful, kind, and extremely patient and understanding when it came to learning Spanish. Some of my favorite memories of Spain are buying pounds upon pounds of strawberries with Kurumi, who I now consider my very best friend, and eating them at the beach. Another favorite is coming home from school every day and eating lunch and talking for hours on end with my host mother and host sister. Every single experience that I had there I cherished, even when school was hard or when I struggled with the language. My support system was large, and no matter what I was having a hard time with, my host parents, teachers, and the Nacel staff were always more than happy to help me right away. I cannot say enough good things about this program and Spain, and I recommend it to anyone considering going abroad.
