While I studied my destination to a considerable degree before travelling, what I didn’t fully expect was the difference in the way that Germans choose to live life. They don’t permit their life to be a daily grind of essentially enabling their employment,...

At the end of my trip to Ireland, I didn’t want to leave. All of these new things were beginning to feel normal. Instead of being nervous for activities I began to feel exhilarated. Being out of my comfort zone was no longer as stressful as before. Unfortunately, that...

Upon arrival to Dublin, Ireland, I was underwhelmed. It just seemed like any other city. It wasn’t until I started to explore the city and the landmarks that I realized how unique it truly was. The more places we visited, the more I enjoyed them. Our itinerary...

With my duffel bag packed I hopped on the plane with a daunting 8 hour flight ahead of me. I was heading to Ireland for 16 days of study abroad adventure! Although I was nervous, I was very excited. I had never left the country before and the fact that I was even...

I expected coming back home to be easier than it was. I was not abroad for a whole semester, only 6 weeks, so it seemed it would be easy. But, getting back into my routine proved difficult. I was exhausted at the end of my trip and really, really looking forward to...

Now that I have left Europe and have been hope for a month, I have been able to look back at my experience and appreciate what has happened this summer. If you have the opportunity to go abroad for an internship or classes… do it. It is such an amazing experience and...

My first impressions with Lisbon were that it was much smaller than expected, and that it was a super relaxed city. I knew going-into my program that Lisbon was not as major of a city compared to other European cities, but to me Lisbon felt very small. I found that...
