Top 5 Things To Do:

Seville, Spain  

 

1. Dance Flamenco. A genuine southern Spanish art, flamenco performances can be seen in many great venues all over Seville.  And while you're in the birthplace of this beautiful dance, why not try it yourself? 

 

2. Experience Plaza de Espaņa. Built for the 1929 World's Fair, Plaza de Espaņa is one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Don't miss this local favorite relaxation spot, which also has fountains, mini canals, row boats, and traditional Spanish red tile work.

 

3. Eat Tapas. Spend some time enjoying these small-plated Spanish appetizers. If you go to a tapas bar, be ready to socialize- tapas' smaller servings were designed to encourage conversation!

 

4. See the Alcazar. Experience this royal residence for an authentic taste of Spanish history. With amazing architecture, countless rooms, fountains, and beautiful gardens, this fortified palace won't disappoint. 

 

5. Marvel at the Seville Cathedral. Not only is this the largest cathedral in Spain, it's also the third-largest in the entire world.  Venture here and you might be surprised at what you'll find- 80 chapels, artwork by famous artists, Christopher Columbus' tomb, and breathtaking views of the city when you climb the Giralda Tower.

Meet Kelly, Volunteer in Thailand! 

 

During the spring of 2010, Kelly volunteered through World Endeavors as an English teacher in Thailand.   

 

Kelly Alum 

 

"I learned a lot about the possibilities of world travel through World Endeavors," Kelly said, "and I am very happily putting them to use right now!" Upon returning to school after her Thai program, Kelly changed her major right away from physics to international relations. And that wasn't the only way her experience abroad changed her life: it led her to want to see more- to explore the world. After graduating from college last May, she moved directly to Ecuador where she has been teaching English at an Ecuadorian university ever since. Here Kelly has been able to work on her Spanish skills, and takes the eleven weeks of annual vacation to travel around South America.

 

Kelly says Thailand will always be very special to her. And although she lives halfway across the world, she says there is always an incessant voice in her head urging her to go back.

Featured WE Staff Member: Mollie O'Meara, Outreach Assistant 

 

Mollie

 

An eager member of our World Endeavors outreach team, Mollie's love for travel is in her genes. She has a sister who lives in South America, her brother lived in Asia and currently lives in Central America, and Mollie herself studied abroad in Florence, Italy for a semester. She now hopes to move to Europe next year after graduation! She has some great travel stories- just ask about her most recent trip abroad to Honduras!

 

Mollie is an advocate for international education because she says it is an investment that will change your life. "Studying abroad is something I am incredibly passionate about, and to be in a position where I get to talk about it every day is a dream. When I am not traveling, I am either talking about my next adventure or planning my next adventure. This job allows me to help students do both."
