“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Hey everyone! I am moving to Valencia, Spain to study abroad for a semester at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia (UPV).  The UPV offers some humanities as well as engineering classes in English and Spanish.

I am currently in Chicago and am flying out of here on Monday...with only one suitcase.  I have a 12 hour layover in Dublin, Ireland (time to explore!!) and then I am off  to Valencia for 3 days. I am staying at a hostel while searching for an apartment and picking out classes. 

I'm taking a train to Gandia, Spain next weekend for a two week long intensive Spanish language program full of classes, culture...and apparently group sports? A couple days after that finishes, classes commence at UPV (the first week of February).

Have a good new year everyone!!  Good luck at school everyone & I will miss you tons!  

I promise to update this blog at least weekly & I will be uploading my pictures online of course (and on facebook).  I would love to talk to everyone via SKYPE if you have it -- my sn is jaykayzing.  

Well, my next post will be from Europe!!

Hasta Luego!
