Welcome dear reader, it is a pleasure to share with you a very special experience for me, an experience full of thousands of moments and situations that make it unique and unforgettable. My name is Leonardo Cabrera... and I'm an Erasmus student!

My Erasmus experience began at the time in which I found the advertising of the scholarships on the website of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos. I can still remember the tingle that ran through my body while reading the document and from that moment I knew I wanted to take this challenge and would do everything possible to maximize this opportunity.

Since then, every moment was full of intense feelings. There were some very nice moments but there were also difficult ones. Happy times but also sad moments. Fun coupled with responsibility. Social moments and moments in solitude.

In short, a very enriching experience where reflection, patience, decision making, responsibility, internationalization, respect and curiosity were the elements protagonists.
