Hola! Today marks the last Monday I will be spending in Spain (at least for a while). It’s a little bittersweet feeling. This country has for sure stolen a piece of my heart. But along with the feeling of never wanting to leave, I am excited to get home to see...

Eleven days and counting. The time is approaching where I have to think about packing and going home, but I don’t want to. Spain has become my home base in Europe and it breaks my heart even thinking about leaving this wonderful place and not knowing when, or if, I am...

Studying abroad in Germany was not at all what I expected. For instance, we were able to shadow a classroom at the JFK Institute in Berlin and I was shocked when the professor started speaking in english. The classroom has a more relaxed feel to it and the students...

From There to Here I am currently about halfway through my time here in Florence, Italy. It feels both as if I just arrived here yesterday and like I have been here for years. Before this experience I had never been to Europe. Now it feels just as familiar as my...

The Places Today I walked past Santa Maria del Fiore (Il Duomo) after my last final. It previously stood as the pinnacle of where I wanted to be. Now, it is a pin on the map of my life. I will miss walking past the remnants of the Renaissance and living within...

Studying abroad has always been something I aspired to do. I always told myself that no matter what I had to study abroad in college or else I would always regret it. However, it seemed like every opportunity that arose before this one just would not have worked out...
