Hola Todos! Hi Everyone! My name is Izzy and I’m so excited to share my journey with you during my time in Murcia, Spain! I'm from Hood River, Oregon, and I’m currently studying Finance at Oregon State University. This semster, though, I am studying International Business at Universidad de Murcia. I love traveling, experiencing different cultures, and trying all types of yummy foods.
I’m a Spanish speaker, so I’m hoping to improve my Spanish, and also see lots of historic museums, monuments, and sites. I love playing and watching Futbol (Hala Madrid!), so I hope to go to a game or two and experience the Spanish love for the sport--especially since they are the new World Cup champions!
I can't wait to show you guys my adventures through articles, photos, and videos, updating you as I go. At the end of this experience I hope to inspire some of you to think about studying abroad one day, because if it was achievable for me, it can be for all of you too. I can't wait to get this journey started, and meet all of you virtually!
