Roundup: June 15th-30th
By theprofessionalhobo ~ July 1st, 2010. Filed under: links, Spain.
Happy Canada Day! Salutations from Spain, where I’m spending my last of three glorious weeks. After a week’s rest while staying with some friends near Madrid, I’m back at Valdelavilla where I’m volunteering my English chatting skills in exchange for excellent accommodation and meals. (Not to mention the chance to meet some amazing people from all over Spain – and the world). More on that later, as I must find time in my demanding volunteer schedule to write and publish my many stories of adventure and cultural immersion. In the meantime, please enjoy some other articles I’ve written that have been published in the last few weeks!

Study Abroad at High Schools Worldwide in the United World College Network
When I was in high school, I figured that studying abroad was a pleasure reserved solely for the affluent and only available during university years. If only I had known about United World College: I would have had an exciting, fast-paced, intellectually stimulating, and wildly different finish to high school than I could have imagined. And what is most extraordinary is that my study abroad would have been virtually free. If you know somebody who is of high-school age and looking for something different, United World College might be the solution.

To the people that want to travel to Spain and especially Andalucía I give you a good tip. There is a great hostel where you can crash! In the White Nest Hostel in Granada, recently opened, you can find a young international group of like minded people, in fresh vibrant surroundings. You will have a great time to remember your entire life…..Based at the foot of the Alambra, the area is both central and historical. I recommend you to stay in Hostels Granada and experience the life of Albayzin, Sacromonte and the heart of Granada itself. Big
