Hola!  My name is Sean Tubridy.  I am a Junior here at Penn State majoring in Advertising with minors in Psychology, Sociology, Business, and International Studies.  I just learned how to use the Penn State Geoblog tool and I am excited to share my adventures abroad with you.

I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which means I love all Pittsburgh sports teams (yes, even the Pirates).  I would consider myself a movie buff.  I enjoy watching all types of movies. I also like listening to music.  One of my favorite things to do is ride rollercoasters.  I love the thrill and f the feeling of flying through the air. Thats just a little bit about me and my hobbies, but hopefully you can find out more about who I am by reading my posts throughout the Spring semester.

I have only been to a foreign country once.  I went to Costa Rica for a week with my high school Spanish Club.  The experience I had over there was phenomenal and is a big reason why I decided to study abroad in college.

I will be spending four months in Barcelona, Spain.  I have decided to do a homestay, which means that I will be living with a host family.  I chose this because I thought it would be the best way to learn the language and culture.  I am very excited to see Barcelona and to travel all throughout Europe.  I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences and looking at my pictures.  Please comment and tell me what you think!
