No important dates configured."YES! I spent a semester in Valencia, Spain in 2009 and was exposed to an entirely new culture with so much to explore. Barcelona offered the same type of cultural exposure and it increased my desire to travel and learn about other cultures. In the future, I will take advantage of any and all opportunities I have to travel."
