The end of an era..

I find it such a shame that my time in Barcelona is going to come to end. I have experienced so many things and seen so many places and really do feel like I have been able to become a part of the Spanish way of living. Thankfully so many of my friends and family were able to come out to visit, and I am so glad that I was able to share this part of my life with them. I don't honestly think I can chose a favourite part to my time spent here. I think an evening I will never forgot will be a meal out, followed by a cocktail in the W Hotel overlooking the sea on the 28th floor, followed by a spa session until two o'clock in the morning with all of the girls. One of the best things about doing this exchange has been the people that I met, the friends I have made and also the person I have now become. I would recommend an experience like this to anyone as you grow so much as a person, as well as being able to experience another culture. I have fallen in love with this city, and would absolutely love to come back one day. However it has opened up my eyes to the other cultures I am missing out on in the world and I truly believe that one day you will find me doing the same thing some where else! 

I believe my course director once said to me before leaving, “go away and have an f*****ng awesome time – drink lots of beer”. I might not have drunk ANY beer but I have drunk enough cocktails to make up for my lack of Barcelona's finest - Estrella, and I can most definitely say I have had a f*****ng awesome time. This is an experience that will be with me for the rest of my life and I am so lucky to have been able to be here, (Thank you Daddy). Barcelona will always be a home of mine and even if I never get to live here again, this time of living here will never change, it will be something I will always be able to say I have done. The friends I have made here will always be my friends and I will not forget a single day with any of them. I have made a best friend too – one I know will be around for a lifetime, and that in itself is enough to say how amazing this experience really has been. 

Hasta Luego - Until Next time.
