Hello and welcome to my blog about Seville!
My name is Payton! I'm actually still a highschool student, but I'm finished will all my classes and am graduating when I get back home. Still have till April before then, though!
I love traveling, although I've never been outside of the United States, which is part of why I decided to do this program. I also really want to learn Spanish (duh?) so taking language classes and staying with a host family made perfect sense to me. That is one thing CIEE did totally right - I absolutely love my host family! I've got three sisters, only one of whom lives at home, and then a retired mom and dad. I also am writing this post while sitting on my bed with the family dog, Grey (yes, Grey in english).
Here's a picture of him on the roof. Side note: most families won't have dryers, so all clothing gets hung after being washed. It was an interesting adjustment...
So far, its been about a week since arriving in Seville. Unlike most people, I got here a little early to explore the city with my dad, which was super fun. It also meant he could meet my host family, which has made my parents feel a lot better about me living in a completely different country! Overall, everything has gone well and I'm excited to have more to post about!
Adios!
