What are you up to these days? Have you graduated? Are you working? How did your experience in Barcelona have an impact on your life?

Studying, exploring. I will graduate in April. I am not working, but I am volunteering. It has been a great experience enjoying another culture. Barcelona has taught me to enjoy life and not take things for granted.

If you were to sum up your Barcelona experience in one to two words, what would you say? My Barcelona Experience is…

Tranquilo

Explain why you chose those words.

Coming from New York, I am use to a very fast pace environment. Sometimes, I rush not out of necessity, but rather out of habit. Barcelona has taught me to take it easy and enjoy life.
