In just one day, I will be leaving the United States for the first time in my life. Some people may travel to other countries regularly, but as someone who has spent their entire life in rural Alabama, it feels surreal. At this time tomorrow, I will be headed to...

I cannot believe that in a less than two weeks I will be on a plane traveling across the country. Studying abroad and traveling the world has always been something I wanted to do. However, with the pandemic hitting second semester of my freshman year of college, that...

During my ten days spent in Greece, I found that the best way to maximize my time there was to embrace and try to experience the new differences this country had to offer. For example, I discovered so many new foods that I have come to love such as the traditional...

The International Financial Reporting study abroad program I am currently on spends one week in Athens, Greece and another week in Paris, France. Aside from our days of class and days booked with excursions as a class, we have a handful of free days with the freedom...

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely anxious about how my study abroad trip was going to go, especially since I did not personally know any other students going on the trip as well. I am partaking in the International Financial Reporting study abroad...

It has been an incredible few weeks. I feel like the world just became a lot smaller after taking the global business course. I know I am going to miss all the people and places I visited. I already have an itinerary for a return trip. My favorite part of the course...

The international business class that I am taking abroad covers three different countries including Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. My favorite place so far in the countries that we visited is Siem Reap in Cambodia. It has been incredible to visit several different...

I chose to study abroad in Asia because I thought it would provide me with an immersive experience in Southeast Asia where I would have otherwise never been. It helped me earn credit towards my masters degree for an international business class. When I was preparing,...

One foot in front of the other, they say. It will be easy, they say. It is not that steep, they say. These statements were all said as we trekked through the cemetery to begin the tiki trail. Sounds friendly enough? WRONG! As soon as we begin, I face a steep climb...

I believe I have fallen in love with Italy! The city is beautiful, the people are friendly, the food is amazing, as you are constantly surrounded by beautiful works of art. I came to Italy on a faculty led study abroad interior design course. I am an upcoming...

My time in Italy was truly the best. I can’t imagine how much guilt I’d feel if I didn’t go because everyone on my trip from students to instructors were amazing and I loved meeting all of them. Our last day was split between Capri and Sorrento and they were such...

Rome was so much fun despite the very little time we had here. We got to see the Vatican and the Colosseum in the same day. I will say this has been the longest day by far (we were up and moving around 6 am) and I’m just now getting back to our hotel at 10 pm. I think...
