How is the life of one Erasmus?

They are looked: new experiences, new friendship, to know places, customs and cities. To submerge in diverse cultures, to soak in knowledge, to devote itself time to one itself …
To learn to value the small things, to get excited before different types of art; to rise, to go down trains that take us to other countries, to tremble on having crossed the border, having smelt new aromas, having played at discovering flavors … sweet, bitter, salty, tart, acid, spicy… but all the new ones.
Requirements: to have desire of passing it well, learning of the life, confronting challenges and adventures.
Indispensable: to trust in one itself and to be left to go …
If you fulfill these characteristics you are, undoubtedly, a student Erasmus. With the time it is increasing the popularity of this term, linked especially to the increasing number of students who decide to be going to deal a year of your university career abroad. Some of them already have finished their career and do the final project in another university or simply they fulfil a master to complement their knowledge. Nevertheless they all have jointly that are out of your native land and share the need to adapt to a new language and form of life different to which they were leading up to the moment.This new way of life is called “Erasmus life ” and consists of taking advantage basically of all the new opportunities that they present in a country not known up to the moment.
The principal objective of the student Erasmus is to be able to finish satisfactorily the course abroad there being the learned one the language of the country in which the year has passed. If this is obtained the pupil was returning to his country with a good curriculum that will facilitate the things to him in the labour world tomorrow.
Definitively, Erasmus is a gift of that it is necessary to to take advantage in the present, without thinking what is left in the native land and that would appear in the dictionary as the synonymous one of Carpe- Diem.

From my point of view is a pretty good article. I especially love the way you start with single words to get hitched in this manner to the public. And the truth is, he does that in the second paragraph explains very well what is necessary to carry out life Erasmus, which for me, letting go is essential.
As for the writing and the cohesion between paragraphs I find interesting the way he has treated Marta, has a set of guidelines to be followed to have a life Erasmus fun and pleasant, then talked about the requirements and what is necessary to be comfortable in the new city of destination; Finally I made a conclusion and has appointed an appointment as Carpe diem to remember how important it is to live the moment.
As critics might say that Martha should have highlighted more fundamental aspects of life in the new city of destination, such as food. The truth is that travel between cities in the world you realize how different they are human beings depending on where we come from and how differently things are done. In Belgium in this case the food is different, especially in terms of ingredients but is quite good too.
On the other hand had not been too bad to mention important issues such as transport or type of house to live in the new country as in every destination that is completely different. Also should have mentioned how difficult it is to live with ue derentes people diferenets countries and cultures at first then once people know everything is more fun
Also Marta could have mentioned some negative point of what life is like Erasmus. It certainly is an unforgettable experience, but if you want a little help prospective students choose the option that Erasmus should bring them and teach them also aware that not all partying and fun.
In the end I quite liked the article but I found an article more sentimental than practical to conduct erasmus life, gives a good overview of what to do to amuse an Erasmus student in your new destination city, but as I said before I would have liked Marta focus a bit more in areas that could serve for another Erasmus student, also based on his experience as “girl Erasmus”
