My trip to Leon, Spain, was a true adventure despite the challenges of obtaining documents and a visa since I’m not a US Citizen. The warm hospitality of my host family provided a genuine and insightful fact into local life, creating a home away from home. They cooked and wash clothes for me lol.
Also, the super-friendly culture of Spain, evident in every interaction and exploration of charming streets and local cuisine, left a lasting impression. Additionally, Catholic history reflected in magnificent infrastructure and centuries-old landmarks, added a profound layer to catholic beliefs. This transformative journey not only broadened my cultural horizons but also instilled a deep appreciation for the beauty and warmth of Spanish life, making it an unforgettable chapter in my travels
The Best Decision I’ve Ever Made!

I loved this experience! I learned a lot, I would recommend it for any other open-minded student who craves new experiences. Be prepared to walk a lot!
Best time of my life!
I had so much fun. I struggled not knowing that much spanish, I would recommend you learn more before you come. This experience will change your life!
Had a Great Time!
I went to Leon, Spain in the Summer 2023 program and had a great time there! There was a two week festival going on that let me explore the city with endless things to do. I’d love to go back one day!
