Its officially 1 week, 7 days, or 168 hours until I depart from the beautiful, warm, sunny Scottsdale, AZ to the EU specifically Barcelona, Spain for the next almost 5 months! Its both exciting and scary at the moment for me.
About me: I am a Junior at Drake University in Des Moines which is located in an extremely warm state of Iowa(Insert Iowa Jokes Here) I am studying International Business w an Insurance Concentration and plan to work in Insurance or Consulting after graduation, and hopefully work or do business abroad. This semester I will be pursuing my studies among other things in Barcelona, Spain through IES Abroad and taking classes at
Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
Well... This Blog is my way of doing 2 things
1. Keeping in touch and giving updates to family, friends, and well maybe strangers., and hopefully a lil entertainment.
2. Keeping track of the many many memories and experiences I will have while I am abroad!
Plans I have while abroad are firstly to get a solid grasp on the Spanish language, and hopefully be able to effectively communicate in Spanish. I will also plan to network as much as possible, in hopes of future business opportunities in the EU. For trips I am hoping to get to Italy not sure on city yet, Prague, London, and Amsterdam. Any suggestions on cities, sites, restaurants, or bars to check out will be appreciated! I also would like to get in on some cooking classes if possible, one of my many hobbies. Well thats all for now!
Thanks for taking the time to follow me on my trip, I hope you enjoy my posts. I will plan on doing one just about every week if all goes well, no promises though... Feel free to leave comments, and contact me at any time on places to go or things to do, or just to say hi. Take care!
Regards,
Eric Griffith
