Hello, my name is Tessa and this is my blog documenting my year abroad in Granada, Spain.
Instead of going to my junior prom, building the homecoming float, and cheering on my school football team, I will be in Spain...just trying to keep up with everything.
I will not be living the average life of a 16/17 year old this upcoming school year- I will be in a country where I know nothing. I won't know anybody, I won't know the customs, I won't know what's "cool" or not, I won't even know what people are saying 99% of the time.
Thanks to Rotary Youth exchange, I will be traveling from my small northern California town to a much larger European city and living my life there for about 11 months.
As much as I am nervous and afraid, I am also incredibly ecstatic about my new soon-to-be life. I love travel so very much and learning about cultures of the world intrigues me to no end.
Along with being fascinated by the world, I am also interested in writing, more specifically journalism. My dream job is to be a travel journalist and document my world adventures (and get paid doing it).
Because of these reasons, I am starting this blog.
If you have read this far, thank you! It really means so much to me.
If you have read this far, I dearly hope you will continue to read my blog entries as my adventure becomes more of a, well, adventure!
Muchas gracias, thank you!
