48-Hours in Berlin

Early this Monday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - may be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

There’s about one month left here in Granada, give or take a few days. The countdown to my flight on the Delta app haunts me.
In trying to pre-emptively reflect on my time here, I am constantly thinking about what I’ll take back home with me from my time here. Too many clothes, yes, improved Spanish skills for sure… But also a greater sense of independence. I lived in a foreign country! For months and months!
