Super smart that you guys are planning on finding your own friend groups and having your own roommates! I think you're right it'd be really easy to just latch onto each other and not fully immerse yourselves into the community at school. So excited for you!!

I am so excited, you’d think it was me going abroad. It’s great everything worked out for the student visa

[lovtodance]

So many people think picking London is the “safe option” when looking at study abroad programs and for many it is, but London is seriously the most incredible city that has SOO MUCH TO OFFER!!! I studied abroad there and I loved it so much I want to go to grad school there!! That being said I don’t think you could really go wrong!! Australia sounds incredible and so does Korea! Congratulations!!! What an incredible opportunity!!

[valpatino]

Love your content! I'm also an American who moved to Spain, you will absolutely love it!

[MariaCruz]

Ahh this video brought me so much joy!!! First of all, Barcelona is one of my favorite places in the whole entire world so I’m jealous, but I’m so excited to see your life abroad again because I truly feel like that’s where you thrive the most!! Also really loved the fact that you and your boyfriend prioritized making connections, it will definitely be the way to make the best memories and strengthen your relationship even more.

Pick Australia! You can visit Milan, London, and Paris for the weekend, Australia isn't a weekend trip

[victorgg]

I'm from Spain (Bilbao) and I'm so excited that you have decided to come here😆.
I hope you enjoy it a lot.

[LaliiBazzinga]

Im moving to Barcelona too to get my masters degree this fall, hope to see you one day!!

[agejevlana]

Katie, you seem so mature. You're also radiating such positive energy. I'm happy for you and I think you'll have a bright future.🌟

[mycobacteriem]

i'll be moving to spain hopefully this coming year to do a teach abroad type program. ive been working and wasnt entirely sure where i want to actually settle down at, so a year abroad getting to learn a new skill in teaching while also getting to study spanish and catalan will be great. hope your program is also going amazingly despite all the uncertainties with covid!

[dandiiiful]

So excited about future videos! And I think it’s awesome you guys will be living separately because you’re so right... this experience will only happen once and it would be a shame to not fully embrace this time!

[lindseym]

studying in London was by far the best 6 months of my life; I’ve been itching to go back ever since and have always considered grad school in London or even working there (highly recommend!!)

[MZy]

I don't know if you've ever been to Switzerland.. but it's gorgeous. Definitely consider it!

[leonoregerner]

I'm a student at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam and I can definitely recommend it!! Amazing teachers and we have a lot of guest lecturers from all sorts of companies.😊

[mnd]

This is so exciting! Looking forward to more vlogs! These are definitely the right decisions, not moving in with your boyfriend and continuing your education. The program sounds amazing! Good luck

[JennyferRoss]

I would recommend Rotterdam! I went there myself and it was an amazing city, great people and great universities.

[schadeichsage]

So excited for you! I loved lived abroad and am excited to again at some point post-pandemic. It's so nice to watch someone who shares that passion! ❤ can't wait to see where you go for your semester abroad, I'm from Sydney and it's great but I have also lived in London and that was honestly so amazing, Paris would also be the dream! The great thing is I'm sure you could find a job in the future in any of those countries with your qualifications so there's always an opportunity to travel there postgrad ❤😊

[irenechen]

I think Korea or Japan would be really good options because there are a lot of marketing internships + co-ops available there and it could also be cool to spend more time in Asia!

[SamElle]

I'm so excited for the next part of your journey!! I'm so so excited for your barcelona vlogs!
