Things to See in Sevilla

So, since I'll be living in Sevilla for about 4 months, I've started to make a list of all the things I want to see/do in the city! Here's a sneak peek:

1. Get to know my University, of course!

Universidad Pablo de Olavide

2. Explore the Plaza de España.

3. Visit Catedral de Sevilla.

4. Have a beer at Cerveceria Internacional, which apparently has the largest selection of beer in all of Sevilla.

Beautiful Day in the 'Burgh

What a perfect Fall day in Pittsburgh!

With a yearning for something new and some inspiration from two of my closest friends, this blog happened! My friends, Hope and Holly, both created blogs prior to studying abroad, so I figured I'd do the same. I'll be leaving for Spain in January, so I thought now was a better time than ever to get started!

As I was trying to figure out a name for this blog, I was reading through some travel quotes and decided this was the one: "I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education." -David Rockefeller

I thought it was fitting to quote one of the most powerful American businessmen (is the business major showing yet?).

Here are some other great quotes I came across:

"Travel teaches toleration." -Benjamin Disraeli

"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train." -Oscar Wilde

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." -Saint Augustine

I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.
