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...

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...

When I first saw an email with the subject line, “Principles of Macroeconomics in Croatia,” I was perplexed. “Of all the subjects in all the places, why would it possibly be advantageous to study macroeconomics in Croatia?” Well,...

Even though I am a fairly anxious person, I prefer to do my packing last minute. I feel like the adrenaline rush provided by the idea that I might miss my flight really helps to expedite the otherwise lengthy process. As a result of my packing philosophy, on the day...

After our rigorous, month long study abroad program in Copenhagen, my lab partner, Gabi, and I decided that we needed some rest and relaxation. Thus, it seemed like fate when the cheapest flights home had a layover in Iceland, thus we thought it necessary to extend...

The ride to Shanghai Pudong International Airport happened on a restless Friday night when the city was lit by looming skyscrapers all around, a testament to how such a city can come more alive at night than during the day, and that was when the lingering feeling...
