Katrina

Esade Law School, Spain

Introduction

Kia ora, and ¡hola! My name is Kat, and I’ll be completing my final semester of my Law and Global Studies conjoint at Esade in Barcelona, Spain.

I was born and raised in Aotearoa, but I have done plenty of travelling around the world. I was lucky enough to sneak in a month learning Spanish in Salamanca, Spain, in February 2020 – right before Covid hit! I’m very excited to go back to a different part of Spain and put some of my Spanish skills to the test.

Heading to Esade is also a great opportunity to put my two degrees together, combining the intercultural skills from Global Studies, while taking law papers at one of the top private universities in Spain. I’m very excited about making new friends and immersing myself in the Spanish student life. But of course, a European exchange wouldn’t be complete without a few cheeky weekend adventures around the continent too!

If you want to hear more about travelling in a post-pandemic world, I’ll also be documenting some of my adventures on my podcast, Great Morning Podcast (and @greatmorningpodcast on insta). Can’t wait to share all my adventures with you!

  • Katrina: A day in my life in Barcelona – Vlog

    Hello again! Today I though I’d spice things up and video a day in my life here in Barcelona. This is a pretty average day for me, a super long day (my classes didn’t finish until 8:30pm!!) but I still managed to get out around the city. I’ll also share some tips about how I’ve…Continue…

  • Katrina: Bon dia from Barcelona!

    Bon dia and hola from Barcelona! I’m writing this after completing my first week of classes at Esade, which has made me realise how quickly the past two months have gone! I left New Zealand almost two months ago and spent the first month trekking around Europe – an adventure in itself! But after visiting…Continue…
