My name is Jared and I'm 20 years old and this is the first blog I have ever written, so don't judge me too harshly. It is also the beginning of my First Adventure Abroad. I am traveling to Granada, Spain to study at the University of Granada for five months starting at the end of January 2014, and then traveling through Western Europe for five weeks. I will be traveling with my girlfriend of 3 years; Shelby. The reason why I started writing this blog is because I want to document my travels and experiences, as well as help out the next traveler. I have never left the country before... Ok, thats a lie I've been to Canada when I was younger but I can barely remember it. Shelby has traveled to Mexico a couple years ago and to Europe when she was younger. There is our travel experiences for you, as you might have guessed we are not that experienced in traveling on our own but we quickly plan to change that. We have taken a few trips by ourselves before. Our biggest trip was to Portland, Oregon from Spokane, Washington for three days. Not that it was big a trip, but it was our biggest up till now. A little about us: We are sophomores at Eastern Washington University and we are both Business and Marketing majors. Shelby is considering going into marketing while I plan to work specifically in the hotel industry either in the sales and corporate side of the business, or to possibly move up in management at the current hotel I work at.
