PT Boa noite bloggers! Como escrevi no post anterior vou contar-vos a razão para fazer erasmus.
Na verdade não se chama Erasmus mas sim Programa Garcilaso, um programa da Laureate International Universities (uma rede global de ensino superior privado). O programa Garcilaso consiste na mobilidade de alunos entre as várias instituições desta rede para países como Brasil, China, EUA, México, Tailândia, Espanha, entre outros, pagando o mesmo que na universidade de origem.
Sempre pensei em ir estudar para fora quando estivesse na faculdade mas nunca me passou pela cabeça vir parar às Canárias. Foi-nos dada essa hipótese e pensámos "porque não?", um destino diferente, com praia, sol e calor pareceu-nos uma óptima ideia! E assim decidimos candidatar-nos e cá estamos, eu e a minha colega Carolina.
Um dos motivos que também nos chamou à atenção foi o facto de ser um local não muito dispendioso, mas, agora que cá estou, deixem-me que vos diga: viver sozinho noutro país é dispendioso (nunca pensei gastar tanto dinheiro em supermercado!!). No entanto, tal como está na imagem, para mim viajar é algo em que se gasta dinheiro mas que ao mesmo tempo nos enriquece em termos de aprendizagem, experiência e emoção, é como um investimento para a felicidade.
O que posso dizer por enquanto, embora ainda esteja no primeiro mês, é que recomendo a toda a gente fazer erasmus. Pensem bem no destino que querem e lembrem-se que nem sempre o mais óbvio e mais conhecido é o melhor, há todo um mundo para explorar!
UK Good night Bloggers! As I wrote on the previously post I'm going to explain my decision to do Erasmus.
In fact, in my case, it is not called Erasmus but Garcilaso, a Laureate International Universities (a global network of higher education) program. This program consists in student mobility between the various institutions of the network to countries like Brazil, China, USA, Mexico, Thailand, Spain, among others, paying the same as at the home university.
I always thought about studying abroad when I was in college but it never occurred to me to come to the Canary Islands. We were given this option, and we thought "why not?", a different destination with beach, sun and heat seemed like a great idea! And so we decided to apply and here we are, me and my colleague Carolina.
One of the reasons that also caught our attention was the fact that it was not a very expensive city, but now that I'm here, let me tell you: going to another country to live by yourself is always expensive (I never thought I would spend so much money on supermarket!). However, as said in the picture, for me traveling is something that requires you to spend money but at the same time it enriches you in terms of learning, experience and emotion, it's like an investment in happiness.
All I can say, although it's my first month here, I recommend doing erasmus to everyone. Choose your destination wisely and remember that not always the most obvious and best known place is the best, there is an entire world to explore!

SP Buenas noches bloggers! Como escribí en el post anterior les diré mis razones para hacer erasmus.
En realidad no se llama Erasmus pero Garcilaso, un programa de Laureate International Universities (una red global de educación superior privada). El programa consiste en la movilidad de estudiantes entre las diversas instituciones de la red a países como Brasil, China, EUA, México, Tailandia, España, entre otros, pagando el mismo que en la universidad de origen.
Siempre pensé en estudiar en el extranjero pero nunca se me ocurrió Canarias. Nos dieron esta hipótesis y pensamos "¿por qué no?", un destino diferente con playa, sol y calor pareció una gran idea! Así decidimos y aquí estamos, yo y mi colega Carolina.
Una de las razones que también nos llamó la atención sobre la ciudad es que no era un lugar demasiado caro, pero ahora que estoy aquí, les digo: vivir sola en otro país es muy caro (nunca pensé gastar tanto dinero en supermercado!). Sin embargo, como dice la imagen, para mí viajar es algo que vas a gastar mucho dinero, pero al mismo tiempo te enriquece en términos de aprendizaje, experiencia y emoción, es como una inversión en la felicidad.
Lo que puedo decir por ahora, aunque todavía es el primer mes, recomiendo a todo el mundo hacer erasmus. Piensa bien en el destino y recuerda que ni siempre lo más evidente y lo más conocido es lo mejor, hay un mundo para explorar!
