It changed my life... I loved Uppsala from the beginning. It's a real student city, full of young people. My room was in a student house. I liked it very much. It was small, but comfortable. On my second day I rented a bike everybody travels by bike here. It's great. The other students were very nice - it was easy to make friends from all over the world - and the teachers were fantastic. They helped me a lot. The university was beautiful, with a very big library where I studied every day. I needed to work on my final year project. I visited other Swedish cities like Stockholm. I really liked the food. There was a lot of fish, like in Spain - but I missed Spanish omelette! The only thing I didn't like was the weather. I arrived in October and it was very, very cold. In the winter it snowed a lot, and it was dark at four o'clock. Sometimes I was a bit lonely - I missed my family. Uppsala is expensive, but I was very lucky, and money wasn't a problem! Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunications company, offered to sponsor my project. It was a great opportunity for me. When my Erasmus year finished, I stayed in Sweden for one more year. Now I'm back in Spain - but I didn't arrive home alone. My Swedish husband, Lars Åke, is with me! Now it's his turn to learn to live in a new country. Being an Erasmus student changed my life completely - in a good way!
