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...

This is my first time studying abroad and I could not be more ecstatic to leave in just a little over two weeks! In addition to the two weeks aboard with my faculty led program, I will be tagging on an additional two weeks to my trip. I have never been on a trip this...

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,...

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...
