I am now a little over halfway through my trip and every fear I had went out the window by my second night! When we arrived at the airport, it was so very warm out and the first thing I noticed was the climate. I love warm weather, so I enjoyed the heat. On the bus...

I have been in Tours for a couple of weeks. I’m definitely starting to miss the comforts of home, but at the same time, I’m getting more familiar with the area and the culture by the day. In my host home, there are three other students in my house. Two are...

So many cats!! This one is from Mykonos 🙂 It was my freshman year when I decided to commit to a summer study abroad program in Italy. It had always been my dream to study abroad and I eventually wanted to do a full year abroad as well, but wanted to test the waters...

My plane was delayed by about an hour on my 9 hour flight to Berlin. I was a bit anxious as it would be the longest plane ride I’ve taken. It would also be the first time I traveled alone other than for school. I was nervous to say the least, but my excitement...

During my first week in France, my friend said to me, “isn’t it weird how the French out-drink and out-smoke us but still live longer than us?” There are a few reasons for this that are obvious right off the bat, but spending more time around the...

Cape Town, South Africa. A new home with new meaning. I am currently four weeks out of my six week program and my eight week experience in South Africa. It has been life-changing. My first impressions when I entered the country were a mix of confirmed prior...

This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. Before I left I was concerned about group dynamics and making friends, and worried I might get bored of snorkeling. Neither of these concerns were realized as I enjoyed and got along well with our group and snorkeling...

These past three weeks I have been a part of the Intermediate Macroeconomics (EC 309) trip to Croatia and Italy. The way our program was structured is the first week we took classes Monday through Thursday and then had our midterm that Friday, then the following week...

One of the most important parts of packing for an overseas outing (especially a lengthy abroad experience like my university-sanctioned foray into Denmark) is hashing out the wardrobe situation. Seasoned travelers advise that one should dress as the locals do—but what...

My biggest concern before leaving for my trip was if I’d be able to handle the work-life balance of studying abroad. Because I’m in Colombia to study Spanish, I knew the classes would be important, but the time outside of class would make or break my experience. In...

Yesterday I left the place I have been calling my home for the past two and a half weeks. At the beginning, I was so scared that I wasn’t going to make any friends and that I would be alone, away from everything and everyone I was familiar with. Realizing that...
