AIFS Program: Granada, Spain | School: University of Wisconsin - Whitewater | Bio: Hola! My name is Benjamin C. Witkowski and am currently a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater studying international business and sociology. Never would I have thought that I could call Granada, Spain my second home in this vast world. The experience of living in a completely different place among people who speak a different language and enjoy a distinct culture, has opened my eyes to a wealth of distinct perspectives that I now hold dear to my heart. As someone who strongly supports learning day-in and day-out, being immersed into a lifestyle other than my own proved to be one of the best ways to learn more about myself and the world. I encourage anyone that has even the slightest of curiosity to study or travel abroad to go and do exactly that. There are so many more aspects in our world that can’t be learned by merely reading a book and writing a paper based on its contents, but rather information that can only be obtained by living life through another perspective of the world. So why not go discover your second home in this grand world and see what you can learn for yourself?
