As I was preparing to leave to come back to the US, I couldn’t help but feel sad. On one hand I was happy to have home cooked food instead of eating out and to sleep in a room other than a hotel room. Again my packing cubes came in handy again to get all of my clothes...

The first place I am traveling to is to Paris, France. Paris was awe inspiring. The most fun I had in the city was just walking around and walking into random stores and bakeries. Of course the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Muse d’Orsay were...

Parest, Montenegro Studying abroad in college is such a unique experience that it’s easy to get caught up in your own excitement. While abroad, I wanted to enjoy my time as much as possible, which included spending a lot of money on things that didn’t really improve...

I miss a lot of things about being in France, such as long lunches (which didn’t happen every day). One time, my friends and I stayed at a restaurant for four hours! I also miss the food, especially the bread and pastries. There was a bakery close to the Institut that...

I think that many people would give advice to Future students about what to pack, what to wear, and all of the logistics, but my advice is to make the absolute most of your trip. Fit in as much as you possibly can. I went to 7 different countries in 2 ½ weeks, which...

A short trip of only 27 days to hit everything in Europe seems nearly impossible, but my group and I fit in as much as possible. We stayed in Berlin and Florence, however, took day trips to Paris, Prague, Dresden, London, Venice, Rome, and Pisa. One of my favorite...

I have always wanted to travel abroad, specifically during my 4 years of college, but once Covid hit, which effected the end of my freshmen year as well as my entire sophomore year, I wasn’t sure I would have the opportunity to. Losing an entire summer of a chance to...

I’ve been back in the states for about a month now and I can’t think of a single day that I haven’t missed being there. I look back at all my photos to relive the moments through them. Being back in the states reminds me of all the things I got away...

On my first day back I woke up super early because I was still on Sweden Time. The first thing going through my mind as I do not want to have to make myself breakfast. I just want to be able to go downstairs and get some organic eggs with chicken liver pate and my...

When I first arrived in Stockholm I was instantly taken back by the beauty. The first thought that was running through my head as I can not believe how nice everything looks there is little to no trash in the street. I felt really excited and hopeful for the next two...

I decided to study abroad because I wanted to learn more about different government policies from a first-hand immersion perspective. I participated in the faculty-led Stockholm and Gothenburg Sweden family well-being and child policies. I have just changed my major...

Another one of my favorite things about Barcelona is that it is a big city. I was not expecting to like the city as much as I do but it has turned out to be one of the best parts. I love that Barcelona is alive and that there is always something to do. Constantly...

I decided to study abroad to help broaden my horizon and expose myself to other cultures. I chose to participate in a faculty led program studying international financial reporting standards in Berlin, Germany and Florence, Italy. I am currently completing my Masters...

I noticed almost immediately (and by immediately, I mean before the plane even took off from Charlotte) how little consideration I had given to learning Italian prior to my trip. After slinging my stuff through the narrow aisle and locating my way-in-the-back window...
