Hola a todos! We are two business students from Stenden university in Leeuwarden and we are currently living in Spain for 5 months. We are here in order to study at a different university, get to know a new culture, new people and of course learn and improve our Spanish. We want to share our experiences (good and bad) with you and we hope you enjoy it! Hasta luego!

Out of sight, out of mind....

This is our blog, our story. We can share good experiences, but of course we can also share bad experiences. When you go overseas it is important to have a thick skin, you will be alone, thus you need to be independent and mature enough to deal with the new situation. The beginning is always the hardest, you do not know anyone and your friends and family are miles away. Nowadays, people move several times from place to place. People come and go in your life and don't try to hold on to people who do not want to be in your life. It is essential to move on, not only physically but also with your mind.

While we have been in Spain, we have realised, who good friends are and who we can rely on during times of need. Many people want to know how you are, but only a handful of persons actually care. And from many people you never hear a word again; everyone wanted to visit and come over, but in the end nobody turns up. People are fake, they pretend to be someone they are not. Hence, do not be disappointed in the end if people turn out to be different than you expected and some things change in your life. And you can be sure, there will be changes! We are really tired of fake people and especially of the ones who think they are something better.

You realise you can only rely on yourself and your family; these are the most essential aspects in your life. Your family is always there for you and will support you no matter what. Keep the people close who love you the most and actually care. 



We do not want to be negative, but we just want to speak the truth and what we have experienced over the past months. Remember nobody is ever too busy, if they care they will take the time!

Now, we are approaching the point of time again where we need to leave this "home" and find a new place for us, new apartment, new friends, new surroundings and everything starts from zero again. This is life and it might go on for a while, but we are happy to have each other and our families, as they have been the best!
