My name is Kasia, I am a Polish girl who graduated from Aberystwyth University and decided to do an internship in Spain as a part of the Erasmus+ program! After studying Media and Communication I choose to do a Sales and PR internship with Happy Erasmus Bilbao; a student association which organizes events and trips for students on Erasmus and International Exchange in Bilbao.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Barittz-France.jpg\" alt=\"Me doing the standing splits in Brittz, Spain\" width=\"566\" height=\"937\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1289\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bilbao is an adorable city, the capital of the province of Biscay and one of the biggest cities in the Basque Country. Before this internship, I had only visited Spain only once. I really like the Spanish culture and people who are so friendly and helpful. However, before I came here I didn\u2019t know anything about the Basque culture but in time I started travelling and I have discovered much more than I expected!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Gorlitz-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"622\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1291\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Basque culture is a bit different from Spanish. For example, instead of tapas, every bar is full of pintxos. During my travels, I had the opportunity to learn more about Basque history and understand the political situation in Spain. Moreover, I have seen so many beautiful landscapes. It\u2019s hard to describe it in words!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Bardenas-Reales-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"Bardenas Reales, Spain\" width=\"483\" height=\"318\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1290\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/San-Juan-de-Gastelugatxe-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"San Juan de Gastelugatxe, Spain\" width=\"756\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1297\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During my internship, I am mostly responsible for graphic designs and photos from the trips. Therefore, I have an opportunity to take part in trips organized by our office and see many beautiful spots. I also learned more about working with photoshop and customer services.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Barcelona-Spain-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1250\" height=\"938\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1292\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My life in Spain is about travelling and meeting new people! I am working with Exchange students which means I have an opportunity to meet students from all around the world. Even in the office, we have an international team who I love spending time with. We are having fun while working in the office and hanging out after office hours as well. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Castildetierra-Bardenas-Reales-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"289\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1293\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Erasmus motto is \u201cErasmus is not one year in your life but your life in one year!\u201d. Well, I am in Bilbao for only three months, but I feel like I had the best moments in my life during this period. I am leaving this place with work experience, amazing memories, new friends and an enormous number of photos!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/aberexchanges\/files\/2020\/03\/Faro-del-Caballo-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"Faro del Caballo, Spain\" width=\"484\" height=\"484\" class=\"align none size-full wp-image-1296\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
