Out of the blue, I decided to book a 3 day trip to Morocco through BeMadrid, a popular exchange student website. The trip cost $230, and included transportation there and back, visits to a few popular destinations, and best of all, a camel ride. Going there, I had no idea what to expect. The trip took us through 2 cities, Tangier and Chefchaouen (better known as the Blue City). Unfortunately the weather was extremely gloomy during my visit, which led some crazy raveling conditions, but Morocco was definitely a one of a kind experience.We landed in Tangier. In Tangier, we got to see unbelievable views from a cliff slide, explored the caves of Hercules, and rode a camel.

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.
