Personal savings Other sources of funding:

I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
As a result of the Euro compared to the Canadian dollar I spent more in Spain than I do in Canada. However, I found food and nightlife to be cheaper thus the costs balanced out. Travel, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
