Lime Caye was the full island experience; small, remote, and tropical. Activities included fishing, hammocking, volleyball, and lots of snorkeling. There was always something to do between snorkels, meals, and class, even if it was just sitting on the beach watching...

When I first arrived in Stockholm I was instantly taken back by the beauty. The first thought that was running through my head as I can not believe how nice everything looks there is little to no trash in the street. I felt really excited and hopeful for the next two...

Another one of my favorite things about Barcelona is that it is a big city. I was not expecting to like the city as much as I do but it has turned out to be one of the best parts. I love that Barcelona is alive and that there is always something to do. Constantly...

Getting Ready for Take Off When going abroad, whether for the first time or the fifteenth, we all have ideas in mind of what to do in advance. Buy luggage, pack extra socks, maybe study a few essential words in a language- all good things! What stands out to me most,...

My name is Bailee and I am a junior (3 credits away from being a senior) majoring in psychology and minoring in women’s studies and African American studies. Since elementary school, I knew I wanted to participate in a study abroad program in college. The perfect...

I noticed almost immediately (and by immediately, I mean before the plane even took off from Charlotte) how little consideration I had given to learning Italian prior to my trip. After slinging my stuff through the narrow aisle and locating my way-in-the-back window...

Why Costa Rica? My answer tends to go like this: I wanted to practice my Spanish, and Latin America was cheaper than Spain (and more off-the-beaten-path, more authentic – more on that later). Within Latin America, the programs in Costa Rica were the most...

The best part of traveling is the friends you make. There are always a lot of great people you meet, but sometimes you find a friendship where everything just feels easy. In the past couple weeks I have realized that those people for me on this study abroad are my...

To pack… or not to pack? There is only so much you can pack for a 6 week trip to another country. It is important to pack smart and strategic. Over the course of my journey in France, I have noticed the items I have gotten the most use out of and the items I...

I have hoped to study abroad in Spain since my freshman year, as many Spanish minors dream of, and I feel and I am so thankful that I am able to before my graduation in August. Madrid has been my home for about a week now, and I could never have predicted all that I...
