Haven’t answered one of your questions in a while haha - I’m planning on travelling to either Greece or Cyprus on my next summer break😊.
@@nothandotshuma OMG LUCKYY Greece is my dream travel destination
@@nothandotshuma just subbed to ur channel and I love it 💕💕💕💕💕💕 can we support eachother?
Spain is gorgeous. I want to visit there so bad. Hope you had fun studying abroad there!! 💛💕
Yes it sure is :) Thanks so much for watching!
I live in Spain and I assure you that the best place to visit are the Canary Islands!
@@luciasaenz1349 Not a bad place, for sure. We're so lucky because we have plenty of amazing places for living but not for working hahaha.
An andalusian from Netherlabds!
When you're bilingual and actually understand every little part of this video, including the conversation in the background about el gato de los vecinos lol love you Kara! I'm always enjoying your vlogs 💜 hope you get to learn and have fun as much as you can!
The cat something the vaccine idk 😂
@@syrupstarlet *the neighbors' cat
The fact that i'm from Cádiz makes this video 100 times better.
wow you're so lucky!!
Holà Isa ! Do you have any tips about Cadíz ? How to get an appartement ? Where ? I will be there next year for my Erasmus!
I was in El Puerto de Santa Maria, for two weeks,(Hace muchos años), the same reason,, studying spanish and hade Dance Classes (4h Spanish + 2h Sevillanas per day) I loved it and will do it again,, soon I hope :)
Glad to find someone who discovered Cadiz.. I was in Uni in London back in the ‘70’s when in agony from constant rain and chill I suddenly went to Cadiz.. fell in love with it.. returned to do a freelance photo assignment I somehow arranged. Found a professor leading students in researching Roman ruins. You really captured the true delight of Cadiz.. really presented the feeling.. sounds, your impressions were such that I felt it deep. Must say you have a wonderful style.. music moves it all along.. your video reveals the inner glow of the city.. honestly I could see you doing this as your life’s work. Editing is on point!! Oh.. you would love learning Tango in Argentina.. I was there during the Falklands War.. at night would visit Tango clubs.. wow.. so full of emotion and beauty.
Keep up the beautiful work.. 😎
Thanks so much for your genuine comment! Glad you had a great time here too :)
It's my birth place and I love it!
This is so beautiful ugh I’m seriously hoping that I can go to study abroad in the fall next year to Spain. You make it look so fun and breathtaking!
WHO ELSE LOVES KIARA
BTW I'm a UA-camr too!
aww thanks 💕

yes I’m still doing this
HEYYYY!
I’m from Spain, and I love your videos about Spain. Ojalá te encante España 💘
OMG!!! Yo vivo en Cadizzz 😂❤️🇪🇸
I did a week exchange in Cadiz last year and it was incredible! I did the same surfing lesson at the same beach aha! Hope you're having/had a great time! And I struggled so much with adjusting to the meal times! I was constantly hungry 😂❤
I studied at the same university this past June (2019) and did a lot of the same stuff you did. Was missing cadíz and this video brought back a lot of memories, thanks!
I’ve always wanted to study abroad, I love learning all about other cultures and places!!! 💕
Spain is wonderful. Have fun studying abroad.
Thank you!
I love how you enjoy the little things! I’m so glad you liked Spain so much 😊 I’m actually from Asturias (in the north), where the weather is not that nice but it’s beautiful too and the food is so good 😋
Hi! My whole family is from Cadiz. Cadiz is a small city in the south of Spain, it is so so close to Morocco by ship. The city is kind of poor but it has a rich history and really beautiful constructions! It is so nice to be there. The air just smells different
I'm actually from Spain and Cadiz is not poor. There is a big gap between the rich and the poor (the rich are really rich and the poor really poor) and then a few middle class people.
And in cadiz are the best hachis because las gomas pasan mucho por hay
....Please take me next time you go to Spain it looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
Spain is sooo beautiful
Ps. I just had my study trip
ahh so fun! where did you go?
@@KiaraMadisen Hampi, Karnataka, India... Its a heritage site😊
Hope you have a great time in Spain! You are a great smart independent young woman! 💞❤️🤩
Omg ! I just got my entire life watching your video. I did the same program at UCA back in 2013 and I miss it all the time. I almost shed a thug tear when you literally walked past my host's door (around Plaza de Catherdral) . Even some of the stuff you brought up made me think of soo many memories (Going home for lunch, the helado place in Plaza De Cathedral, and my classes that were right off the beach.) I don't know if you're still there but I wonder if Aki Te Quiero and those other strip of nightclubs are there. I always try to explain to my friends that in Cadiz; the ppl don't go out to the clubs until 1-1:30am . I hope you had a good time and just like someone else said take it all in because I wish they had abroad-work programs for adults lol .
That's so cool! I remember being so surprised at how late people go out here too...blows my mind lol 😂
Hi! I live in Cadiz, I would like to see you. I hope you enjoyed that experience in my town ❤
I studied abroad this time last year in Barcelona and this video is making me super nostalgic! Thank you for this vid!
Records desde Barcelona!!
Wow, such a beautiful place💕
I was in awe 😍
How do you deal with be far away from your family? I have some anxiety issue and I’m really close to my family but I want to try and be more independence, like do you talk with them a lot?
Oh my GOODNESS!! this is crazy but i studied abroad in Cádiz and stayed in El Puerto de Santa María as well about 5 years ago!! it was so great to see the cities again. i miss it so. thank you for sharing 😁
no way! So fun! 😊
I know right !!! I did the same program in 2013 and stayed in Plaza de Catherdral (Old Cadiz) . This video made me miss it soo much .
I love you soooooo much. All of your content is so entertaining I could watch you for hours and never get bored!
Wow is all I can say, haven't always been here but for the past 4 years i've been watching your videos and I am so proud of you Kiara! Your channel has grown SO much you deserve every single sub.

Cádiz is diferent , the BEST ... I live on Cádiz capital 💛💙☺️
I’m currently an English high school student, but once I leave, I wanna study college in Spain. I love Spain and the views. I’m super nervous to go on my own, but it’s what I wanna do :)
Heyy omg me too, have you been looking at any good study abroad programmes? i'm from England too!
@@aria6709 not yet! I’m still looking into it!! Wouldn’t it be amazing though, such a great memory to have! Spain is so lush 🥰
Ive been thinking of studying spanish online! Its like an extra smthg I wanna try this year without telling anyone

I don't know how I ended up in your channel, but you literally passed by my home haha. I hope you had a great time in Cádiz, la tacita de plata
Ahh that's so crazy! UA-cam suggestions must be very accurate haha! Cádiz was amazing :)
Loved this vlog and I love Spain! I was just on holiday in Calella it’s more up north but stunning aswell🥰
Wow this was amazing to see since I used to live in chipiona Spain and would go to Cadiz all of the time❤️ I miss Spain so much😢I hope you have an amazing time!
Omg im from Cadiz and it has been so fun to see all the places I go to in your vlog haha I hope you liked my city ☺️
I loved it! You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!
Hola yo quiero conocer cadiz pero no conozco nadie
Yes I liked it
Hii laussan .and one Thing face is soooooo cute sister your so pretty
Can you accepted me as your friend 😍😍🥰🥰🤩
I'll talk you through the timing of surfing if we're ever in the same city again!
Andalucian food is the best in the world!! why show curries and gelato
haha I love curry though!
Any tips on how to convince my parents to go study abroad.
Always LOVE this question. 1.) Go into the conversation having a clear plan. Be able to clearly articulate the costs, the program type, length, location, etc. 2.) Showcase the value of adding this to your educational portfolio. Why will study abroad help enhance your degree (or studies if you are not already in college/grad school). 3.) Show that you understand the current conditions of the country you are interested in traveling to and 4.) Specifically related to costs, outline an itemized fashion, how much everything will cost, and ways you may be able to find opportunities (such as scholarships....you should research these too) to supplement the burden of asking for them to fully pay. The main issues parents worry about for study abroad are safety, cost, and reasoning for why you essentially want to take a break from regular studies to do so. If you are able to clearly articulate the reasons that cover these three main points, you'll have an easier time making the case for why you should be able to go and begin applying to programs.
Loved this video so much! I was so excited to see what you were up to in Spain 😍
Yay! So glad you liked it!
I have an exchange student in my class from USA and I don't know what to do to help her, sometimes she looks bored or idk
I live there and im really happy to see this 💕
Yaaay! I was literally about to shower, but guess what!? I’ll have my laptop just outside the shower so I can watch and shower. Talk about multitasking😂❤️
omg I love this dedication!
I love the music that you use in your videos!😍😂!!

I lived in Cadiz the past year. So weird to see you there. And also to see the building were I lived, it was Plaza San Antonio. Hope you're gonna enjoy your time there !
Aww that is my fav plaza! So cool!
MY WIFE... MAMI... KIARA MADISEN... MISS YOU... MAHATMA GANDHI....
MY WIFE... MAMI... KIARA MADISEN... MISS YOU... MAHATMA GANDHI....
Can you please talk about your experience applying and how you chose this program?
Yeah I'll touch on it more in the next video :)
I’m from Spain and I’m really happy you enjoyed it 💜
That's so cool!
It would be cool if you did a video in Spain and it’s entirely in Spanish!
ahh I'm the worst at Spanish so i could never haha
its so intresting to me (from iceland) that you guys dont have cooking classes in middle & high school since we have 2 a week.
Ahh we need to get on this! We have it as an elective class but it did not fit into my schedule!
Was waiting for an update spain looks beautiful! !
Aww thank you!
Hey Kiara
I'm from spain. I hope you liked my country
I sure did! Thanks for having me!
i hope you had an amazing time here in cadiz 💕
Thanks I did!
I was just there a week ago. I love that I recognize where you are. It’s an amazing and beautiful place
You should totally come to Holland. It rains even more here! 🇳🇱😂 Love you ❤
I would love to! I heard it's beautiful!
I’m curious to know... Are you fluent in Spanish?
Adele Hattrup nope I’m like at a 3rd Grade level but I can understand quite a bit :)
Kiara Madisen That’s still very impressive 🙂
OMG im from theree
So lucky :)
what was the name of your school?
Hi Kiara, I don't want to be mean but please tell me that you learned how to pronounce Cádiz correctly. I know that it's probably difficult for you but once you learn it it's fine. Love your vids, kisses from Portugal!
Yes I did :) I just pronounced it the more American way as I was speaking english!
Kiara Madisen oh ok, I didn’t think about it that way haha :)
@@martadurao8835 ella pone el acento en la "I". Lo correcto es poner el acento en la "a". Es decir, CÁdiz.mais no sotaque andaluz pronunciasse Caí dezaparecendo a "d".
I want to study abroad when I go to college! I’m a senior in high school atm and I’m looking at applying to so many different colleges. Uni of Oregon is actually on my list. What made you decide to study abroad? Did you have different places you could choose from (besides Spain)?
wow I'm from San Fernando, a city next to Cádiz capital and this is so exciting😂😍😂😍 I hope you're having fun❤❤❤
Ahh yes I almost went there! So beautiful 😍
@@KiaraMadisen aww thank you❤
I grew up every summer in Cadiz and whenever i go to Cadiz i have no american friends lmao so if u go back to Cadiz hmu, @zemjata (insta)

I have never been in Spain but I hope that I'll ever look there! ❤️ Your fan from Czech Republic❤️
That's so cool that you're from Czech Republic! Thanks for watching ❤️
My brother just got back from an exchange program to Prague!
I’m so dumb, I was so confused whenever you said Santa Maria. It took me a while to realise you were talking about El Puerto🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
You're so cuteee
Mariana Alves aww thank you 😘😘
I hope you had a good time during your study abroad!! ❤️ It’s truly a one of a kind experience
Thank you! ❤️
Kiara Madisen You’re welcome! ❤️
Wow! Spain looks so beautiful! I really want to visit the US.... Disney!!! No Disney here in Australia 😓
Ahh yes Disney is a MUST. ❤️
I love the variety of sunglasses 😂 Cadiz looks beautiful. Good for you
Where are those gorgeous black geometric-looking sunglasses from?!
You are going to have Gelato withdrawals 😂 💕
oh I already am!
Where exactly did you live and how much did you have to pay? :)
I lived in Càdiz about a block up from the
Water in a host family’s apartment and I
Believe the program without the plan ticket was about $5k for 3 weeks!
Hello! Would you honestly recommend living there for an extended period of time (3 years ba)? Or is it better for a short amount of vacation style time?
It takes a certain type of student to undergo a full degree program abroad. I have done both short-term and full-degree programs abroad. You have to be willing to fully immerse yourself into the culture, adapt to the educational system/teaching styles, and build a plan so you can take the most advantage of opportunities for long-term students (i.e. post-study visas). I always recommend students complete a short-term program in a place they think they may want to study in for long before making the longer, more expensive commitment.
@@thestudyabroadspecialist hi! Thank you for your reply!!! Personal update: I am now studying in the UK, starting my second out of 3 years of uni in October 😁😁
@@martina6107 Amazing!!!!!!! I did both of my grad degrees in the UK. Adore that place. Hope all is well over there. I know you're happy you got in before covid kicked off :-). Good Luck with the rest of your studies.
@@thestudyabroadspecialist Thank you sm!! Best of luck to you too❤️
