Elizabeth Kallies
Participated in 2023
When I was in high school I had the chance to travel abroad for a week with my Spanish class. We went to four cities in Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, and Zaragoza. Ever since then, I knew that one day I wanted to go back. I have been studying Spanish for seven years and knew that living in a place that spoke primarily Spanish would be the best way to help me practice my skills.
