Amazing Summer Past Review

Internships in Barcelona

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I had loads of fun during the summer. There was a very nice mix of work with the right amount of partying. Would have liked to speak a little bit more Spanish but the language courses allowed me to learn a lot either way. Work, fun, Spanish. That's all I could have hoped for.
