On our last day in Florence, several of us made the trek up to the outlook to take in Italy’s beauty one last time. We talked and laughed and had a great time. We would need to get up early the night morning to board our flights, but that didn’t matter to us. We...

The past three weeks have been so much more than I could ask for and I am so grateful that I got to do this program. As my first time out of the country, I went into it not knowing at all what to expect. I knew that it would be a great learning experience and that I...

Hi! In case you haven’t read my previous blog, I participated in the European Innovation Academy in Porto, Portugal this summer. This program is one of the many hands-on study abroad experiences that UA has to offer. Rather than sitting and learning abroad in a...

Studying abroad has been such an eye-opening experience. Traveling and going to foreign places has been so fun, but also so confusing. The phenomenon of culture shock is real. Seeing all the things that are different is very insightful, but is also a constant reminder...

For my third and final blog post I wanna talk about all the fun places I traveled to on the weekends and everything I learned while studying abroad. The first weekend trip I went on was to Venice with API. Venice was beautiful and I am so lucky I got to visit before...

Hello! This is my final blog post, and I’m writing it on my flight back to the United States. 12 hours down, 2 to go! Going into this study abroad trip, I knew we would be travelling to quite a few different cities in New Zealand, but I didn’t have a good...

Hello from the South Island of New Zealand! So far, the weather here has been even colder than the North Island (where we spent our first week), so I thought I would go over some of the most used items I brought, and some things I probably could have left at home....

For my second blog post I’m discussing what it’s like to live and study in Florence and travel to other popular destinations in Italy. At first, it was a little bit of a culture shock, but there are so many amazing things about Italy. The people are very kind, the...

My first week in Porto is coming to a close and it has been a long week full of bumpy flights, airport sprints, uphill walks, last minute bus rides, and LOTS of Ubers. My favorite thing about Porto so far, besides the breathtaking views, has been the food! Pastries...

I had the honor and the privilege of having my birthday on my study abroad trip. I turned 19 on July 16th. To get the full story, it’s best I back up. A couple of friends and I went to Paris for the weekend. From the Palace of Versailles to The Louvre, to the Eiffel...
