While deciding to study abroad may seem like a daunting process with so much information to go over and learn the process is well worth it! As a student who was unsure of everything and did not know many other students who had studied abroad in the past these are some...

Wow, that flew by. Though looking back on just how many memories I have just of these 18 days makes me feel like I was there for months. What a beautiful country to visit and an amazing group of friends to share it with. I can’t speak for future groups, but I truly...

As soon as my plane touched down and the door opened, I could feel the humid air rush through the cabin. Belize is a tropical jungle, and that was apparent immediately. Though myself and the majority of the group likely came to experience the island paradise side of...

As I finish up packing for my faculty-led trip to Belize, I’m taking a minute to write this post. Back in around February this year (I know, last minute planner), I saw an email for a faculty-led research opportunity in Belize. It stuck out to me because the...

The perfect way to start the day is on the beach and that is exactly what we did this morning. We all walked to the beach and got towels from a vendor on the beach. We got some drinks from the beach bar then laid out and enjoyed the water and beautiful weather. After...

I am on a UA faculty led study abroad trip this summer doing the Globalization of Sport program. Last week we were in Madrid touring their sport stadiums and attending a European sport conference. This week we traveled around Barcelona learning about various sports...

The study abroad program I am on is UA Globalization of Sport! This is a faculty led trip which means that I am with UA professors and students. This was the first time I have traveled to Europe, so I didn’t know what to expect. While I am traveling with the...

First Impressions of Belize……..My initial impression upon landing was apprehension and excitement. I was in a foreign country and knew no one. Once I arrived, I was excited to get started and get to our destination. Our first destination was Big Falls in...

My second blog post will be about two incredible excursions we have taken in the last two weeks: Lake Constance and Neuschwanstein. Both of these day trips were huge selling points for the program itself, and I was thrilled to get to see the contrasting landscapes of...

My initial two-week span in Germany to study the German language and culture has been an incredible and rewarding experience. This being my first time out of country (let alone on a flight), I had many thoughts of excitement and anxiety before my arrival: How would I...

When we first stepped out of London Heathrow airport, we were greeted by the nippy fifty-degree air of a British morning. The subway system in London goes by many names, some call it the Metro, some call it the Underground, but most people refer to this complex public...

I chose to study abroad in Austria this Summer as I feel it would be a great experience moving towards my future career and would be a great opportunity to explore another culture. Prior to committing I was nervous about the cost and the expenses of the trip but was...

So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring life in London. The city has captured my heart, particularly charming areas like Notting Hill. I wasn’t fully aware of just how vast and sprawling London is. Unlike the concentrated bustle of New York, London is...

I saw work I only dreamed if seeing while traveling through Italy. I spent so many years studying and analyzing this work, but I never thought I would ever see it in person. Work like Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi or Caravaggio. Seeing the...

Prior to studying abroad in London, I made sure to get a fresh haircut, as I am sure most of my peers did the same. Of course, with my luck, when I went to book an appointment with my usual guy, he was on vacation. So I ventured out to find a new barber, and, well, I...

On our final free day in Lisbon, a group of around 15 of us embarked on a day trip to Madrid, a venture that filled me with excitement for various reasons. Thanks to my mother’s profession as a Spanish teacher, I possessed an unexpectedly profound understanding...
