This trip to Panama was a first of many. First time at an airport, on a plane, and first time abroad. The nerves were high, but the excitement outweighed all the other emotions. The whole ride there I couldn’t believe that I would be going abroad. Once arriving...

Preparation to travel Studying abroad was never something I expected to do during college, especially during my last semester of senior year. With my degree in Human Development Family Studies, there was never really a set time where study abroad was a feasible...

Many times when traveling, we tend to think about what we’ve already packed and planned to see when we get there, but we don’t always consider what the experience of meeting the locals will be like, and what new sites and experiences that they can...

While I studied my destination to a considerable degree before travelling, what I didn’t fully expect was the difference in the way that Germans choose to live life. They don’t permit their life to be a daily grind of essentially enabling their employment,...

As a student on the UA in Oxford faculty-led program, I had so many opportunities to explore other regions of England besides Oxford thanks to the flexible schedule of the program. When planning for which areas I wanted to take trips to, I knew I had to make it to...

At the end of my trip to Ireland, I didn’t want to leave. All of these new things were beginning to feel normal. Instead of being nervous for activities I began to feel exhilarated. Being out of my comfort zone was no longer as stressful as before. Unfortunately, that...

Upon arrival to Dublin, Ireland, I was underwhelmed. It just seemed like any other city. It wasn’t until I started to explore the city and the landmarks that I realized how unique it truly was. The more places we visited, the more I enjoyed them. Our itinerary...

I had mixed feeling about coming back home. I have been home for a little over a month at this point. When I first arrived at the airport, and saw my parents waiting to pick me up, I was so excited to see them. On the other hand, I was sad that my study abroad...
