Just a little over a week ago I arrived in France! It’s so hard to believe how fast time has flown. This first week has been the best introduction to France I could have asked for. Before starting our courses in Tours, we stayed in Paris enjoying the culture through...

The first impression I had of Cambodia was what I encountered immediately upon exiting the airport in Phnom Penh – the heat. It was nearly 2AM, and it was still well over 80 degrees with high humidity. Within Phnom Penh, the streets are swarming with motorbikes,...

There’s 365 days in a year, but this one might as well have been a leap year for me. Flying westward from the US to Cambodia, a day is lost in the process. This is but one realization of many that don’t hit you until you’re traveling abroad. Prior to this trip, I knew...

I chose to study abroad because I grew up in a dual-military household and my parents traveled the world. They told me amazing stories about all the places they have been and all the truly awesome things they experienced. My parents always taught me that traveling...

Today is my travel day and it has started off with a huge BANG. First, my flight gets cancelled and I have to rebook. Second, it is Friday the 13th so what else could go wrong? I now get into Stockholm much later than I previously was and I am not very happy about it,...

As I sit in the airport awaiting a connecting flight to Seoul, South Korea (where I will then fly to Phnom Penh, Cambodia), I figured there is no better time to reflect on the pre-departure phase of my study abroad program. Thinking back, I’m not even sure I believed...

Hi everyone! My name is Sawyer Griffy. I am a mathematics major in the STEM Path to MBA. I am about to embark on a fascinating trip to Cambodia for the next two weeks. I have traveled to Europe on three occasions, but have yet to travel to Asia. This will be a...

“Cheers” Cheers is a word you hear a lot in Britain. I’ve heard it used in place of “thank you,” “you’re welcome,” and just a general phrase, but only in certain contexts. I’m not quite sure what exactly it means, but I like it. You will walk a lot. I am...

Street View of Bo-Kaap, South Africa When I first arrived in South Africa, I was not sure how I should feel. I still felt anxious and nervous but excited and curious about everything. To choose what I miss before actually leaving is so difficult when I cannot help...

As suggested, the UA in France: Language and Culture program does involve actual class time. It almost sounds wrong to say I was in summer school because the whole month was so surreal that to call it school would appear to negate the experience which would be a...

So after a very strenuous day of travel we have finally arrived in the beautiful city of Santorini. Santorini is a city full of beautiful white building and an even more beautiful crystal clear coastline. In fact, when you imagine Greece, this is probably the first...
