AIFS Program: Madrid, Spain | Bio: My name is Brianna Kraemer and I am a junior at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. I am studying communications and Spanish and that is why I chose to study abroad in Madrid, Spain. I have been learning Spanish for several years and am excited to finally use it in the real world. I am originally from Minnesota but have lived in Pennsylvania and the Virgin Islands too. I’m looking forward to blogging my experiences abroad!
