I will be leaving for Madrid, Spain in one month! I can’t even believe it is coming so soon. I have always wanted to study abroad. I am majoring in Spanish, so when I heard about the faculty led program to Madrid where I could take up to 12 hours of Spanish...

I will be departing from the US in two days to begin my professor-led abroad program, and I am both excited and nervous. I have never traveled to Europe, so I cannot wait to immerse myself in the beautiful, historic cites of Athens and Paris. Research has been a large...

I leave in less than 48 hours, and it is all starting to hit me now! The excitement, nervousness, and anticipation are all kicking in. That is why, for my first blog post I decided to discuss why I’m studying abroad, how I’m preparing, my feelings, and my...

Being back home has been a conflicting experience. On one hand I was feeling slightly homesick throughout my trip, while on the other I began dreading the idea of leaving such a surreal experience. Studying abroad in Belize fulfilled every desire I had imagined for...

It’s a little over a week until I leave for Belize, and I am counting down the days! I’ve already acquired a pair of flippers and booties from a family friend, but I have still yet to pack any of the items I’ll need. There is a challenge in packing...

I can’t believe my trip starts so soon! I’ve been planning this trip for so long and it’s finally here. Over the past few months, I have been slowly buying things that I will need for my trip to Greece and France this summer. Most of the things are...

When overseas, a lot of things can deviate from what you’re used to. The most obvious of these is language. While in many Western countries, English is a common second language, you can’t necessarily depend on the very person you’re trying to...

Many times when traveling, we tend to think about what we’ve already packed and planned to see when we get there, but we don’t always consider what the experience of meeting the locals will be like, and what new sites and experiences that they can...

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,...
