These photos were taken in Tarragona, Spain. This is a traditional “castell” that is built at festivals in Spain. It’s basically a human pyramid on steroids.

A Taste of Vienna’s Christkindlmarkt

Hey everyone, this is hopefully the first of a regular summary of all things study abroad. For the most part, it will be a round up of the more helpful and interesting posts on The Study Abroad Blog, however, I'll try to include or mention other great articles that may cover topics I don't. The goal is to help you quickly access info on all aspects of studying abroad including academics, travel tips, hostel reviews, emotional stress, culture shock, uncomfortable situations abroad, and everything in between.
