Travelling to Pamplona - Corona style

Since this Coronavirus outbreak, I knew that nothing was going to be the same, especially travelling to another countries. Since I was elected to go on an Erasmus student exchange programme in Pamplona, I was so excited to go but also concerned about situation in the world. I wanted to go so badly so I did all the paperwork and documentation needed in order to enroll foreign univesity. Summer passed by so quickly, but situation with coronavirus did not change at all, it became worse.

I was in two minds, come or not to come to Pamplona. On the one hand, I could stay at home in my country where I know the people and language, there would not be problems with transport, buying plane tickets and saying goodbye to my family and friends for four months. On the other hand, I could meet new people and culture, visit new places and have an experience of a lifetime, but with all the measures government is providing. So, I put on a brave face and went for it. Nothing could have stopped me from going. The biggest motivation was that after I finish exchange, I would have a lot of experience to share and stories to tell my family and friends after I come back home.
