Welpp ! Thanks to the wonderful $1300 stipend provided by the Honors College at UNCG
and the decent exchange rate from dollars to euros i will have to spare little to no personal expense on air fare to Spain. Although what I didn't realize is how much really goes into every little detail. In the past few days, I researched everything from currency conversion to flights and airport locations, distances from various cities and even car rental companies. Its crazy ! Did you know that $1 USD = .73 Euros. My goal is to try to purchase as much as I can regarding travel accomodations ahead of time while im still in the US and hopefully, that will save me a few dollars. For those considering the same theese two websites have been especially helpful to me Cheap-o Air and Expedia !
Through this blog, I intend to track my journey to one of the world's most beautiful countries from today until my return next summer. I invite friends and anyone else to follow my thoughts and ideas on this journey complete with questions, comments and suggestions on any and every aspect that goes along with planning a trip this big. I can't wait to go but more importantly I can't wait to hear the thoughts and ideas of others before I do. Let's try to cover all the bases together. Enjoy ! =)

That sounds exhausting. I hadn't even thought of that aspect of studing abroad. Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteBeing in the Honors College really has its benefits, $1,300 sure does help when you are traveling around the world. The exchange rates between the USD and the Euros are a sticky thing. You may find that depending on were you go in Europe the exchange rate will be slitty different.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hate exchange rates, specifically when I travel to Europe. However, you're lucky you're not converting to the UK pound. Hopefully you enjoy studying abroad- it's an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the exchange rates! I hope they don't change too much when we go abroad. I'm going to Cuenca (hopefully)! We should definitely explore Spain together!
