This was my first time traveling with others who weren't family members. I was a bit nervous only because I had no idea what to expect. However, I got the opportunity to see things people only dream of, and the chance to do things people work their whole lives to do. Not only was I able to study and learn from people whose culture was vastly different from my own, but also be able to apply what I had learned right away.
During my time in Spain I got the chance to see the cities of Madrid, Toledo, Córdoba, Granada, Sevilla, Ronda and Cádiz; In Morocco, I was able to see Chefchaouen and Tétouan. I got to learn from professors, locals, business men and women whose world view was entirely different from my own. It was a truly beautiful and educational trip and I only wish I could go back to relive the experiences and the memories I made.
Classes taken:
COM 3520 - Design Communication Strategies
COM 4310 - Research Methods Communication Arts
COM 4900 - Directed Independent Study in Communication Arts
COM 3110 - Business And Professional Communication

This trip was very insightful as there was a lot I didn't know about the Muslim's way of living. I was blown away by the beauty of the city buildings, the mosques, the culture and the kindness of the people I met. Being from the US, there were certain perceptions I had about Muslim countries, but getting to experience the beauty of the Middle East, all perceptions I had prior were shattered.
During my time in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) I got the chance to see the cities of Dubai, Sir Bani Yas Island and Abu Dhabi; In Oman, I was able to see Muscat. I experienced eating food with my hands, sang in front of a European audience on a cruise, tried on traditional Muslim clothing, heard the Muslim call to prayer 6 times a day and visit the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifah.
