How far did I travel this week?:

Because I am on Spring Break, I traveled to a few different places this week. I started off in Thessaloniki, Greece to attend the Gilman Scholar's Career Summit in which I met and networked with officers from the U.S. department of state, the regional government, international corporations, and the U.S. embassy of Greece. Then, I met with six of my friends in Mallorca, which is an island off the coast of Spain, where we relaxed on the beach and soaked up the sun. From Mallorca, we travelled to Nice in Southern France. Nice is in the French Riviera, so we have enjoyed our time exploring the city and the ports. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

The farthest I have travlled on this journey is Greece. Outside of Spain, I have traveled to Interlaken (Switzerland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Lisbon (Portugal), Thessaloniki (Greece) and Nice (France). Inside of Spain, I have been able to travel to many cities including Seville, Toledo, Granada, Barcelona, Mallorca, Bilbao, and San Sebastian. I have a lot more travel plans and I cannot wait to share them with you!

How did I get around this week?:

To get to my university, I take a train. It takes about 45 minutes to get to my university from my apartment in the center of Madrid. But to travel to other places, I take a plane.
