@_kpopsimovova_ spent her semester abroad in Portugal🇵🇹 and shared with us the 3 best and 3 worst parts of her experience✨
3 Best:
✨School - NOVA SBE, was basically on the beach, which allowed me to learn how to surf and enjoy the coastal lifestyle.
✨People - I met so many inspiring people from diverse backgrounds, which inspired me to broaden my horizons and embrace new ways of thinking.
✨Travelling - The opportunity to travel was amazing, I visited Spain, the Azores, Morocco, and explored much of Portugal. Weekend trips were the absolute highlight.
3 Worst:
✖️Weather - Colder than expected; it was cold, windy, and rainy for the first three months, and even locals were complaining about it.
✖️Mold - A big surprise, my belongings, as well as my flatmates’ items, got moldy (jackets, shoes, suitcases, doors, tables, towels, etc.).
✖️Strikes/Public transport issues - From the end of April, there were strikes or constant changes to schedules; public transport often didn’t show up, arrived very late, was overcrowded, or routes were changed with no notice. It caused a lot of inconvenience.
