Starting my blog, starting Erasmus

Hi everyone!

I'm starting this blog, in which I'm hoping to tell you all about my Erasmus experience as a student in Bremen (Germany), telling you about the trips that I go on around Europe during my stay, giving advice and stuff for other Erasmus students, recommending cities and places to visit... anything I can think of!

Before anything, I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Andrés, I'm 19 years old and I'm from Murcia (Spain), although, I study architecture at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena. Since I was small, I've always loved travelling and getting to know other places, so I have always been certain that I'd want to do a year abroad with Erasmus. I decided to come to Bremen to learn (or at least to try to learn) German, also the city drew me in quite a lot, because it's a city with a great student atmosphere, it's relatively cheap for Germany and it's strategically situated in the middle of Europe, which greatly helps travelling. After a lot of paperwork, an infinity trying to find accommodation, a few headaches, a German course and a Ryanair flight, I landed in Bremen a little over a month and a half ago.

This past month and a half has been very intense, full of parties and discoveries. Little by little I have felt more at home, forming what is known as "your Erasmus family. I have been Discovering this beautiful city by day and its magnificent nightlife every night, learning how everything works and trying not to die along the way.

As I continue to write this blog, I will tell you a little more about me and my life in Bremen. I have decided to divide this blog into two sections:

• The 10 commandments of Erasmus in Bremen: here, I will be explaining different important aspects of the Erasmus experience in this city (from finding somewhere to stay to recommendations for nights out)
• Eurotrip: here, I will tell you about the different trips that I will be going on and I will be giving advice about what to do in each of these cities.

Also, I'm trying to capture the trips that I will be taking through photos and I will be putting some on Instagram, so I'll leave you the link to my Instagram here if you're interested.

Until the next post!
