Taking off...

22 Feb 2011, 23:07 -

Certainly it was 6 months ago, the August 23rd when i took off from Madrid Barajas Airport to Stockholm. It was in that way as I started one of the biggest experiences in my life. What am I doing here? I am finishing my degree in journalism. I am an Erasmus student.

Something to start? Firstly I recommend you to stop thinking about your Erasmus destination, just imagine Sweden. You do not trust topics as the cold, the snow or the darkness, either the Swedish impassivity. It is a extremely contrast experience as I lived in Spain but human are adaptable to change, so we can do it, at least I could do it as well as my Erasmus friends.

Today I will give you some advice, the best and the worst things in Stockholm:

NEGATIVE: Prices (here everything is quite expensive and the euro is too much devaluating in comparison with Swedish Koron)

POSITIVE: The huge experience came from Swedish Society in all the senses. Here I learned the true meaning of “be European”.

See you ;)

Yes, it is right! But some universities in Spain give you the schoolarship depending on your destination! i guess it is a very good idea!

Positive: Stureplan's heels and miniskirts!

I agree! Sweden and especially its capital, main city Stockholm is really expensive, even compared to other huge city of Europe such as Paris for example.Thus, once you get used to that, you now learn how to use wisely your money, what is a good thing for your future,isn't it ? :)

Yes, i agree. I think Stockholm is a very good city to Study in and it is a very good point for our CV.

Prices changing is a constant in most places people go on Erasmus. Sometimes we can find cheaper things than in our country but learning to manage your own money is a good skill that your future employers would have taken into account.
