I feel that every single person should find some way to be able to visit another country and experience another culture. I know that for many it is not financially feasible, as it had previously been for me, but it was an invaluable experience. The things we were able...

One of the most meaningful part of my trip to Spain was to be able to connect with my heritage. My mother was born and raised in Spain, however, she married my father who is American and moved to the US when she started having kids. We didn’t grow up super wealthy so...

I’ve been in Athens, Greece for a little over a week now, and I already know that this is going to be a lifechanging semester! My classes are fun, the town I’m living in is beautiful and completely walkable, and public transport makes traveling to other...

During your study abroad, orientation you will probably be told about the emotional curve that is associated with students’ feelings during their study abroad trip. I remember looking at this chart and being surprised by some of the feelings the chart includes and...

I can recall scrolling through Pinterest for hours typing the words “London Summer Fashion” repeatedlyin the search bar trying to ensure I had the right wardrobe to fit in. Thousands of worries plagued bymind everyday about the unknowns of the unfamiliar country I was...

This summer, I participated in multiple study abroad programs, back to back. One was in Florence, Italy and the other was in Copenhagen, Denmark. When preparing for these programs, I had to pack clothing for both countries and climates. Italy in June is very warm and...

While I was studying abroad this summer in Florence, Italy, my friends and I loved to travel on the weekends. We knew that we had to make it to Rome, and decided to go there on our three-day weekend since there was so much to do and see. We traveled there by train on...

This summer, I had the opportunity to take the Unit Operations Lab for chemical engineering majors at Denmark Technical University in Copenhagen. The Unit Ops lab is very well known as one of the most challenging parts of the chemical engineering major, but I thought...

Wrapping up accounting study abroad in Europe, we took a day trip to Bruges, Belgium, from Paris. It is a beautiful city, we took a bus there in the morning and had to get out and walk around the city. It is surrounded by water, and there are no cars in the city. We...

Now that I’ve had time to fully reflect on my time abroad and recover from my study abroad “hangover” I can say that my experiences were more than anything I could’ve ever hoped for. I went on the Spring voyage of Semester at Sea this past semester and really went...

As soon as it began I was in awe, and what a time it was. From the 2nd of July to the 26th of July I was in Oxford, England. The most important area of concern before the trip had even begun was that I had packed enough but not too much. And somehow I managed, the way...

Today marks the first day of my study-abroad trip to London, England! I’m taking a class in Econometrics at the London School of Economics (LSE) this August, and I just arrived in my dorm room where I’ll be spending the next three weeks. This trip came about for a few...

It was finally time for me to depart Europe. I made my final journey to the airport, dragging my suitcases behind me on the cobblestone walkways. Next thing I knew, I was in the air on my way back to the United States. The flight was an eleven-hour flight to Atlanta,...

Today was my final day at the London School of Economics, and truthfully, it was a sad one! My three weeks in London went by far too quick, and while I saw everything (and everyone) I had hoped to, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a subtle feeling that there’s more to...

One of the neatest experiences I had in Portugal was when I signed up for an all-day excursion to the Peneda-Geres National Park. Since I wasn’t staying in downtown Porto I caught an Uber to the Imperial McDonald’s where I was then picked up in a white...

An Unexpected Adventure I have just arrived back in the states after a 3-week study abroad trip in Porto, Portugal and there is just so much to unpack (however, not physically, because my luggage is still lost)! I could sit here and type another post about tasty food...

When you’re about to study abroad or cross any sort of ocean, there’s an implication from others that you come back changed. After all, you’re visiting parts of the world with different histories, cultures, cuisine, customs, and more. Studying abroad...
