Roya Moussapour

<p>Hi! My name is Roya Moussapour and I&#39;m a physics major and teaching minor at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME. I&#39;m super psyched to be studying engineering for the first time in Madrid. I&#39;ve made it to 23 countries while traveling with my family and hope to make it to at least a few more this spring. I&#39;m enrolled in my first Spanish class this semester since junior year of high school, so get excited to hear about my attempt at language immersion! When I&#39;m not working on physics homework up at Bowdoin, I&#39;m usually either in a cappella or orchestra rehearsal, so expect to hear a good bit about my experiences finding music overseas. &iexcl;Mucho gusto!</p>

While I attend school pretty far up in Maine, I took a visit all the way to Oslo at a latitude of 59.9139° N, the farthest north I´ve ever been.

Goodbye jetlag, hello Madrid!

My trip to Madrid started with a turbulence-filled airplane ride from London and ended with my first trip to 100 Montaditos!

¡Hasta pronto, Madrid!

I'm leaving in a little over a week for my semester! I've been packing furiously while researching and planning things I want to do in Madrid in the first month...
