HOLA, HOLA, Erasmus lovers! ✋
Are you planning to participate in a mobility programme in the Canary Islands, or are you simply curious about what life is like in this beautiful Atlantic archipelago? Check out our latest interview from the ❝ My language learning journey ❞ series!
A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of talking with Martina Sentino, a 24-year-old student from Turin who spent an entire academic year in Tenerife. She has described her entire experience with the word restless, so you can imagine how much she enjoyed it :-)
In an attempt to pique your curiosity, I am sharing below some of her most relevant phrases. ⏬
Do you recommend Tenerife and the Canary Islands as an Erasmus destination? Why?
❝ I absolutely recommend the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife, mostly for the geographical beauty hidden there. You can find numerous volcanoes, crystal-clear ocean waters, white and black beaches, forests, deserts, and historical towns on the island. In this environment, you can experience new activities. In my case, I had the opportunity to try stand-up surfing, participate in nighttime hikes for stargazing, and ‘climbing’ volcanoes. Also, the island has a very international atmosphere, as many young remote workers choose it as their (temporary) home. ❞
Have you tried any Spanish food? Is there a dish you think people need to try?
❝ I did try Spanish food, and I can confidently say that it’s delicious. Of course, in Tenerife, you can find all the main Spanish dishes, such as tortilla de papas, but my favourite one, which I would recommend everyone to try if they like cheese, is a typical Canarian dish called ‘queso asado con mojo’ that is local grilled cheese with parsley or peppers sauce. ❞
