Glad to find someone who discovered Cadiz.. I was in Uni in London back in the ‘70’s when in agony from constant rain and chill I suddenly went to Cadiz.. fell in love with it.. returned to do a freelance photo assignment I somehow arranged. Found a professor leading students in researching Roman ruins. You really captured the true delight of Cadiz.. really presented the feeling.. sounds, your impressions were such that I felt it deep. Must say you have a wonderful style.. music moves it all along.. your video reveals the inner glow of the city.. honestly I could see you doing this as your life’s work. Editing is on point!! Oh.. you would love learning Tango in Argentina.. I was there during the Falklands War.. at night would visit Tango clubs.. wow.. so full of emotion and beauty. Keep up the beautiful work.. 😎
Hi! My whole family is from Cadiz. Cadiz is a small city in the south of Spain, it is so so close to Morocco by ship. The city is kind of poor but it has a rich history and really beautiful constructions! It is so nice to be there. The air just smells different
I'm actually from Spain and Cadiz is not poor. There is a big gap between the rich and the poor (the rich are really rich and the poor really poor) and then a few middle class people.
I studied at the same university this past June (2019) and did a lot of the same stuff you did. Was missing cadíz and this video brought back a lot of memories, thanks!
I did a week exchange in Cadiz last year and it was incredible! I did the same surfing lesson at the same beach aha! Hope you're having/had a great time! And I struggled so much with adjusting to the meal times! I was constantly hungry 😂❤
I love how you enjoy the little things! I’m so glad you liked Spain so much 😊 I’m actually from Asturias (in the north), where the weather is not that nice but it’s beautiful too and the food is so good 😋
Oh my GOODNESS!! this is crazy but i studied abroad in Cádiz and stayed in El Puerto de Santa María as well about 5 years ago!! it was so great to see the cities again. i miss it so. thank you for sharing 😁
Omg ! I just got my entire life watching your video. I did the same program at UCA back in 2013 and I miss it all the time. I almost shed a thug tear when you literally walked past my host's door (around Plaza de Catherdral) . Even some of the stuff you brought up made me think of soo many memories (Going home for lunch, the helado place in Plaza De Cathedral, and my classes that were right off the beach.) I don't know if you're still there but I wonder if Aki Te Quiero and those other strip of nightclubs are there. I always try to explain to my friends that in Cadiz; the ppl don't go out to the clubs until 1-1:30am . I hope you had a good time and just like someone else said take it all in because I wish they had abroad-work programs for adults lol .
Wow is all I can say, haven't always been here but for the past 4 years i've been watching your videos and I am so proud of you Kiara! Your channel has grown SO much you deserve every single sub. I remember you at your 10k mark, and now you're studying abroad in Spain?!?!! AAAAHH! enjoy your year girly! So happy for you ❤️ make it the best
I lived in Cadiz the past year. So weird to see you there. And also to see the building were I lived, it was Plaza San Antonio. Hope you're gonna enjoy your time there !
I’m Spanish and I have subscribed to your channel for almost two years, so when I saw this video I was super excited! It’s really funny watching my country from your point of view, some stuff that look normal to me are super different for you!! Hope you liked Cadiz 💛
Wow this was amazing to see since I used to live in chipiona Spain and would go to Cadiz all of the time❤️ I miss Spain so much😢I hope you have an amazing time!
I’m currently an English high school student, but once I leave, I wanna study college in Spain. I love Spain and the views. I’m super nervous to go on my own, but it’s what I wanna do :)
My twin daughters went to Florence, Italy on their abroad trip last year. It is very beautiful in Spain, we have been there twice. Be careful there and have fun
Hi Kiara! The Parador hotels are all over Spain. They were part of a public plan to boost tourism in all parts of the country. Normally they are found in old castles and palaces, so they’re really cool. Love from Spain ❤️ P.s. I hope you tried the “croquetas de jamón”, they are the best food in Spain!😍
How do you deal with be far away from your family? I have some anxiety issue and I’m really close to my family but I want to try and be more independence, like do you talk with them a lot?
I hope you had a great time studying abroad and learnt a lot of Spanish 😊 now I’ll write in Spanish once in a while to keep to practicing hahah (español es mi lengua materna) I love that you were using that hotel’s WiFi hahah every time I go on a trip I use hotels’ or restaurants’ WiFis to communicate more and catch up on social - roaming is so expensive and a pain Can’t wait for your next video
I’m from Sweden and my class where on a language/cultural desired in Puerto Real, it’s really close to Cadiz. I think we went to the same surf school as you!
Always LOVE this question. 1.) Go into the conversation having a clear plan. Be able to clearly articulate the costs, the program type, length, location, etc. 2.) Showcase the value of adding this to your educational portfolio. Why will study abroad help enhance your degree (or studies if you are not already in college/grad school). 3.) Show that you understand the current conditions of the country you are interested in traveling to and 4.) Specifically related to costs, outline an itemized fashion, how much everything will cost, and ways you may be able to find opportunities (such as scholarships....you should research these too) to supplement the burden of asking for them to fully pay. The main issues parents worry about for study abroad are safety, cost, and reasoning for why you essentially want to take a break from regular studies to do so. If you are able to clearly articulate the reasons that cover these three main points, you'll have an easier time making the case for why you should be able to go and begin applying to programs.
I want to study abroad when I go to college! I’m a senior in high school atm and I’m looking at applying to so many different colleges. Uni of Oregon is actually on my list. What made you decide to study abroad? Did you have different places you could choose from (besides Spain)?
Hello! Would you honestly recommend living there for an extended period of time (3 years ba)? Or is it better for a short amount of vacation style time?
It takes a certain type of student to undergo a full degree program abroad. I have done both short-term and full-degree programs abroad. You have to be willing to fully immerse yourself into the culture, adapt to the educational system/teaching styles, and build a plan so you can take the most advantage of opportunities for long-term students (i.e. post-study visas). I always recommend students complete a short-term program in a place they think they may want to study in for long before making the longer, more expensive commitment.
@@thestudyabroadspecialist hi! Thank you for your reply!!! Personal update: I am now studying in the UK, starting my second out of 3 years of uni in October 😁😁

Hi Kiara, just want to say I love you Kiara!
Any tips on how to convince my parents to go study abroad.
Always LOVE this question. 1.) Go into the conversation having a clear plan. Be able to clearly articulate the costs, the program type, length, location, etc. 2.) Showcase the value of adding this to your educational portfolio. Why will study abroad help enhance your degree (or studies if you are not already in college/grad school). 3.) Show that you understand the current conditions of the country you are interested in traveling to and 4.) Specifically related to costs, outline an itemized fashion, how much everything will cost, and ways you may be able to find opportunities (such as scholarships....you should research these too) to supplement the burden of asking for them to fully pay. The main issues parents worry about for study abroad are safety, cost, and reasoning for why you essentially want to take a break from regular studies to do so. If you are able to clearly articulate the reasons that cover these three main points, you'll have an easier time making the case for why you should be able to go and begin applying to programs.
