Zeenia
¡Hola a todos! My name is Zeenia and I am currently studying and working at Camino Barcelona. I applied for the work experience programme which means I have Spanish classes in the morning and I work in the school during the afternoons. I guess that puts me in the great position, as a student and as a member of staff, to tell you about the school, the city and life here in general.
As a student of French, Spanish and Portuguese, I am currently on my year abroad in order to improve my language skills and knowledge as well as further my understanding of the cultures behind the languages. Having been in Portugal and France before arriving here in Spain, I have travelled aplenty during the last fifteen months. However, being in Barcelona really has made me forget about home since it is a city that welcomes anyone and everyone, involves both locals and tourists in several cultural and social activities and simply thrives on the diversity of people, culture and entertainment. As long as you embrace your experience in Barcelona I am certain it is almost impossible not to have an amazing time!
Barcelona has always had a great reputation due to the fact there is never a shortage of activities to keep you occupied. From the breath-taking architecture, relaxing parks, wonderful Mediterranean Sea and long sandy beaches to the mouth-watering gastronomy, numerous lively bars and an inspiring city centre, you will never have to rack your brains for something to do or see! Yet although I knew this about Barcelona before arriving, I was dubious as to whether it were all true or a great exaggeration. Fear not since Barcelona is a fantastic place and I have found all the amazing comments I have heard to be true.
