As part of the Comenius programme, I took part in an exchange trip to Murcia in Spain. Me, Miss Malik, Miss Burns, and Sarah Kelly left England on Friday morning and returned on the Wednesday night.
When we arrived, we met our hosts, and we went on to spend the weekend with them. My host was a girl called Miriam, and we got on really well and became really good friends. Sarah’s host was a girl called Blanca who I also got on well with. The other exchange students were also really friendly, and we spent a lot of time over together as a group over the trip.
Over the weekend, we visited Cartagena (which is a beautiful city near Murcia with a lot of history and lovely scenery), went to a disco with our hosts, went shopping, and spent time with the host family. The host family were really welcoming and friendly. Monday to Wednesday we went to the school where we took part in a range of activities such as volleyball, salsa class, and music class. We also helped out in English lessons, which was really fun.
We got a chance to try lots of traditional Spanish food, learn some Spanish, teach some English and see what life is like for someone of our age over there. On the last night, we all went shopping and bought each other gifts, Miriam’s mom gave me lots of Spanish food to bring home and give to my family.
I had an amazing time, and made friends who I am still in touch with on a daily basis; I am even considering going to stay with them again in the future!
