¡Bienvenidos a todos!
Welcome to my Erasmus in Alicante blog!
The aim of this blog is to help every student who´s planning to going on
Erasmus in Alicante. Based on my personal experience here, I will try
to provide you with different tips, advices, recommendations and all
sorts of information that you may find useful during your stay in
Alicante! :)
The reason why I started this blog is pretty simple – it all began last
summer, when I was about to embark on that exciting journey (yeah, I know it may sound really cliched, but it really is a pretty remarkable experience!!!).
I was
desperately looking for some, even the slightest piece of information
about the very basic and necessary aspects of life in Alicante – such as
prices of rents and the amount of the monthly bills, the good and the
dodgy areas of the city, nightlife, transport, etc. However, finding clear and concise information about all this proved to be a tough task.
I had
to learn everything by myself, which in no way was a bad thing, but I
believe sometimes it´s better to know what to expect when you arrive in a
completely new place, without knowing anyone and anything.
So, here I will try to address some of the most important topics and
issues that you may encounter while being in Alicante. I hope I´ll help
you avoid some of the problems I´ve experienced and thus make your stay
in Spain even more exciting and unforgettable!
Because we all know –
going on Erasmus, no matter where, be it in the most Southern parts of
Spain or in the deep North of Finland, is mostly all about meeting new
and exciting people, learning the language, travelling, studying (to a
certain degree ;) ). Yes, I presume you´ve probably heard all that stuff before, but honestly, it is all true – being on Erasmus is a highly
valuable life experience, which will help you learn a lot not only about
the different cultures that you will encounter while being abroad, but
about yourself, too.
So,
let´s get started!
