I immersed myself in the arts and culture by taking as many guided tours of medieval cathedrals, churches, museums, and cultural centers as possible. I went to language exchanges in Madrid, traveled around Spain on my own and with groups of Spaniards. I sang in choirs, performed in concerts, and performed gigs with other musicians in local venues. I tutored English as a second language to seeing and blinded adults. My experience in Spain taught me to be more independent, confident, resourceful, adventurous, and sensitive to other cultures.
