Today we started our day with fresh orange juice and a croissant at Hotel Olympia Universidades before we started our journey back to Barcelona. One of the highlights of my trip was the fresh orange (naranja!!)  juice every morning. We got to the train station early and I was able to get some work done. I got to reflect on the train ride on the trip as a whole and I could not have asked for better scenery to look at. The train takes us through rural Spanish countryside. It was so beautiful to see the rolling hills, farms and mountains. It was refreshing to see so much land after spending 13 days in metropolitan cities. It is so interesting hearing all the different languages being spoken on the train. While in Spain I met people from all over the world, every continent but Antartica actually!  I love meeting new people, especially from different countries and from all different cultural backgrounds. As an International business major it is so important to have strong cross-cultural communication. Exposure and experience with different cultures is the best way to develop this skill. I gained so much academically on the trip but also personally. The visits gave us first hand experience learning about global logistics and supply chain issues. I am leaving the trip with a better understanding of the ports, logistics and LEAN. Personally, I gained better patience and flexibility. With my phone being stolen the first night I had to learn to roll with the punches and just let things go. Typically, I would have been freaking out about a solution but I decided to just relax and work with what I had. I am so thankful for my classmates that were on the trip. We started as strangers but now they feel like family and are my new friends for life.  Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Gourdin kept us laughing and made sure everyone was taken care of, we could not of done it without them! I am ready to get home and apply the knowledge I gained through this experience and I am sure it will benefit me greatly in my future career in the international business world.
