Growing up, I loved animated Disney movies. Among one of my favorites, was the Hunchback of Notre Dame. This classic film is set at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. This movie inspired me to visit Paris. I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit the city of lights. It has been one of my favorite cities so far. The ambiance of the city is just incredible. I only had a short 3 days there, but every second of it felt unreal. My friends and I visited many beautiful landmarks and museums , including The Louvre, Arce De Triomphe, Hotel Des Invalides, the infamous Notre-Dame cathedral, and of course the Eiffel Tower.

I like to think that I am a simple, carefree guy. I enjoy the simple things that life has to offer. I love food, relaxing, and wondering with no destination in mind. Because of this, my favorite part of this trip was just relaxing at 3 different sites, each with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower, while enjoying a savory Crepe. Every hour, the Tower displays a 5 minute long light show that is breath taking. I saw like 3 every day.
Sitting down and enjoying the fresh spring air with this view was truly euphoric.

Hello, my name is Edgardo Alaniz Flores. I am currently a Junior at the University of Arkansas. My major is International Business with a concentration in supply chain management. I also am pursuing a minor in Spanish. For the spring semester of 2018 I will be studying abroad at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, Spain. I choose this program for various reasons, but the top two reasons were that they offered many business classes, and the second being that the university was in a Spanish speaking country. To make this journey across the ocean possible, I applied for a few scholarships. The Sam M. Walton college of Business study abroad scholarship. Another Scholarship I applied for was the Gilman scholarship. Without these scholarships my study abroad experience would not have been possible.
