I traveled a lot last month, so for this time I just wanted to spend time in Alicante and finish my studies there. I took my finals early and spent my time going to the gym, enjoying the great food options around town, and hanging out at the beach with the friends I&#8217;ve made here. I&#8217;m a little sad to be leaving, but I wouldn&#8217;t change anything about my time here. My host mom has so nice and has really helped me with my Spanish as well. It has been a great last month and I&#8217;ve really gotten to enjoy Alicante after months of traveling around. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52959860764_8a68285ff0_c.jpg\" alt=\"Gibson's group of Mizzou students and teacher smiling for a selfie\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">My group!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Looking back at my time here, I&#8217;ve been so lucky to have this experience. I came here wanting to learn Spanish, travel the world, and enjoy a part of the world I had never experienced before. I was lucky enough to travel all around Spain, as well as visit France, Italy, Switzerland, and Portugal. I had a great group of Mizzou students that also made my time here even better. I accomplished one of my dreams to see F.C. Barcelona play, and I even got to a game with a friend from Denmark that I hadn&#8217;t seen in 5 years! This trip couldn&#8217;t have been better, and I&#8217;m very grateful for everything I was able to do during this semester. I&#8217;m so glad I studied abroad and will never forget my time here!<\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52959711991_48e99c8642_c.jpg\" alt=\"Foggy sky over green fields on their walk\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On &#8220;El Camino&#8221; in Santiago, Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52960168908_4a6673c234_c.jpg\" alt=\"The group in ponchos standing in front of an ancient church building\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We finished El Camino!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about this blogger\u2019s study abroad program: <a href=\"https:\/\/mystudyabroad.missouri.edu\/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAngular&amp;id=10025\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mystudyabroad.missouri.edu\/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgramAngular&amp;id=10025\">University of Alicante: ALI Abroad<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last month in Alicante has gone by so fast.
