Meet Makena V.

"As cliché as it sounds, my study abroad experience in Valencia was hands-down the best thing I have ever done. Since I returned to the U.S., a day has not gone by where I don't wish I was still living in Spain. Not only did I meet some of my best friends, but the independence of living in a homestay allowed me to thrive independently and truly feel like a local."
