Here’s to the beginning of something new and I think the hardest part of this process was picking which program I wanted and which country I wanted to study in. The rest of the hard decisions were left up to API, the affiliate program I chose. With API making...

At this point in the trip, our time in Germany was coming to an end. However, I was not looking forward to what was to come. We had planned a 16 hour coach trip from Berlin to Florence, breaking another personal record of mine: the longest I’ve traveled in a day. I...

I can’t believe I leave for Italy in less than twelve hours. Just one sleep and two flights and I will be in Europe! Like the procrastinator I am, I spent the entire day packing and making last-minute purchases, although I probably wouldn’t recommend this method. I am...

I get it: we all build up our study abroad trips in our heads as perfect, flawless adventures. However, in reality, there will be bumps along the way just like any other day. This was definitely true for me. On the plane ride over, I couldn’t sleep the entire...

I was so excited to go overseas. I had been to Budapest, Hungary in 2018 for a missions trip during which we held an English camp for Hungarian students. This trip was going to be completely different! This wouldn’t be with a lot of students I already knew, but...

Growing up near Saint Augustine, Florida, I am no stranger to historical monuments. But North American old and European old are two completely different things. To put it in perspective, Castillo de San Marcos is 350 years old, while the Colosseum is approximately...

Ljubljana, Slovenia – The last picture I took in Europe 🙁 As I got my suitcase from baggage claim when I arrived home, there was only one thing on my mind: sleep. My journey had begun at 4 AM in Croatia, or about 9 PM local time in New Orleans, when the taxi...
