¡Hola a todos!
Welcome to my new travel blog. This will be one of the best ways for you to connect with me during my semester in Spain. I'll be updating it with stories, pictures, and thoughts while abroad. I will be keeping my Facebook, but I'll post more detailed information here. If you want to email me, I've set up a new personal email account: jamielundergreen@gmail.com. Feel free to shoot me a message!
Now that I've taken care of the boring business side of things, I can get to the fun stuff. In just one week, I will be embarking on the most extensive journey of my life thus far. Last week I received information about my host family, which was a huge relief. I will be living with a mom, her 15 year-old son, and a 16 year-old male German student named Victor. I got to see the building where I will be living via Google street view. Best technological innovation ever. I also picked up some euros from the bank, so I'm ready for the housing deposit and taxi/bus fare that are awaiting me overseas.
With these details settled, my main focus for this week is to pack. Armed with my Wheely Beast (that's my new duffel bag) and the advice of family and friends, I'll begin to lay out all of the items that I will take with me next week. My mantra: Pack light. Despite my history of overweight baggage, I'm feeling confident in my ability to bring only the essentials. My mom and dad will be so proud since they've seen me bring home a month's worth of clothes for just a short weekend trip home. Besides packing, I'll probably spend my week saying farewell to family and friends before I take to the skies. It's bound to be a busy week, but I'm looking forward to my big adventure.
