Liz's Life Abroad

After months of wanting to travel the world, I finally made my way to Barcelona, Spain, from Boston, Massachusetts where I am studying Communication for the next 4 months. From Spain, I have the opportunity to travel all around the world over the weekends, discovering new places and cultures I’ve never experienced before.
