Spain or Mexico for a first time teen traveler? |
Travel Info For a teenage girl who is wanting to study abroad this summer, which do you think is better Spain or Mexico? Her main goal is to improve her Spanish while still having a good and SAFE time. The program she will do is part of an organized school but she will have to be very independent...which place would be the safest? And which city in particular do you reccomend in either Spain or Mexico? Travel Tips Mexico, Absolutely Mexico! You can consider going to the "TECH" university , short for El Technologico de Monterrey, it is a very high ranked university in the world. 2 years ago it ranked just on top of Harvard. It is located in the Mexican city of Monterrey, full of night life and very safe, one of the safest in Mexico. Plus the school is very international open , it is the largest diverse university in the world, it houses students from Canada, U.S, France, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal and many more. The good thing about it is that it's campus is very elegant, the dorms and student live is very pleasing with restaurants on campus and pools. But the best thing about it is that if you complete your studies , your degree will not only be valid in Mexico, but also in the united states ! For example if you graduate as a doctor in Spain , your degree will be worthless here in the U.S and you would have to go back to school, but in EL tech in Monterrey , it is not like that, your degree would be valid in both countries =] plus, they offer classes in english and spanish ! =] here is some information over the city of Monterrey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/monterrey... and some over the university that i suggest: http://www.itesm.mx/ Others MEXICO IS THE ****, STAY IN THE TOURIST AREAS LIKE CABO, OR MATZAVLAN, I HAD HELLA FUN Spain http://www.transitionsabroad.com/publica... http://gorp.away.com/gorp/location/europ... Spain. You can travel all over Europe. I live in Mexico and most places would not be safe for you to be alone. If you do decide on Mexico I would recommend Cuernavaca or Guanajuato as the safest places for you to be alone. If you are going to Mexico, avoid Mexico City. Puebla, Guanajuato, Guadalahara ( very large city) would be better choices. Avoid the tourist places like Matzatlan or Cancun. You won't really experience the culture because they are occupied by tourists, and they are expensive. Also, they can be dangerous. Spain would be my choice. For one thing, you would have the opportunity to visit one or more countries nearby. Either way, you will have a wonderful summer experience to remember all of your lives. I have read some details about Spain and I think trip to Spain would be an enjoyable as well as a learning experience. Some of my college mates are visiting Barcelona and Madrid this summer for art exploration. I think Mexico and Spain have quite different social settings because Spain has been ruled by Roman, Muslim, and Christine rulers. Now Spain is part of Europe, so the lifestyle of people in Spain is similar to the people of other Euopean countries. Finally it depends on what you are looking to explore. Enjoy your stay anywhere you go. Chetumal, Mexico they are on the belize border so there will be some english speaking people around...As in safe I think its great I go every year...I go to my in laws though.I love it! Good Luck and tell her have fun~ |
