Hi! My name is Louise Knight and I am an upcoming senior at UA. Similar to many people my age, I tried to go abroad the past two summers, with both possibilities being cancelled. So, as I was approaching my last summer as a student here, I knew this was my last chance...

So many cats!! This one is from Mykonos 🙂 It was my freshman year when I decided to commit to a summer study abroad program in Italy. It had always been my dream to study abroad and I eventually wanted to do a full year abroad as well, but wanted to test the waters...

My plane was delayed by about an hour on my 9 hour flight to Berlin. I was a bit anxious as it would be the longest plane ride I’ve taken. It would also be the first time I traveled alone other than for school. I was nervous to say the least, but my excitement...

During my first week in France, my friend said to me, “isn’t it weird how the French out-drink and out-smoke us but still live longer than us?” There are a few reasons for this that are obvious right off the bat, but spending more time around the...

One of the most important parts of packing for an overseas outing (especially a lengthy abroad experience like my university-sanctioned foray into Denmark) is hashing out the wardrobe situation. Seasoned travelers advise that one should dress as the locals do—but what...

Hi everyone, I’m finally back in the U.S.! It was a crazy trip home running through three different airports just to finally get home a full day later. From Paris, I arrived in Toronto and went through customs in Canada before arriving in Chicago, then finally...

This past Saturday, my classmates, professors, and I traveled to Segovia, Spain. There we were able to see the beautiful entrance to the city that was built during the Roman Empire. Fun fact about this wall of arches is that it was made without any cement or any other...

I have been in London for a few weeks now and am enjoying it immensely! I thought I might share some things I wish I knew before coming, namely how to prepare for a long, international trip. Pre-departure: Firstly, getting all your ducks in a row as early as...
