Why this Erasmus student fell in love with Valencia. Ferenc came to Valencia on the European Erasmus program. A very inspiring interview from an inspiring young man with many talents. Hi Ferenc! Could you please explain what this is and how it led you to being in Spain?
Hi Frank, nice to meet you. Well, there are many reasons for that. First of all, I have always been interested in the Mediterranean cultures, and particularly in Romance Latin languages, so I have always dreamt about living in countries like Italy and Spain. During the last couple of years, I participated in many international scholarship programs which motivated me to expand my horizons and experience new challenges.
You can also do both during your studies, and the best is that, if you decide to continue the university, you will get the same two opportunities for each degree. Since I already spoke Spanish, Spain was high on my list. Private health insurance in Spain. We recommend Innoinsure , they make it easy. More info here. Spartan FX. Buying a house or car in Spain and need to transfer and exchange a large sum of money?
More here. For everyday transfers and exchanges of money from your home country. Nobody should be using banks anymore. How did you end up in Valencia? Is Valencia a common destination for Erasmus students? I did not have a clear destination within Spain at the beginning. I just knew that I preferred to go to a big city with a lot of opportunities.
I have my favourite locations in Europe I could revisit anytime, but I also usually look for something new and I had never been to Valencia. It was actually the only choice because there were no other universities from other big cities of Spain on the list of available institutions. It also seemed to be a reasonable decision because we knew someone from Poland who had already lived in Valencia before, who knew the area and had some contacts, so my girlfriend and I asked for his help and finally the three of us moved to the city together.
