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...

The first country I visited on my study abroad trip was Vietnam. We arrived in the capital city of Hanoi on May 9th and visited many interesting sites inside the city and in the rural countryside. My favorite experience was visiting a college located outside of Hanoi...

One of the most exciting days while abroad included time spent wandering the Palace of Versailles. As a first-time traveler to Europe, this was high on my list of must-dos, and it surely did not disappoint. After overcoming some minor bumps in the road there (i.e....

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...

Coming to Florence has been so much fun and every experience has been so worthwhile. We landed in Rome and took a train to Florence which was cool because we got to see the countryside and all of the poppies that were growing on the side of the tracks. When we got to...

Having been in Athens, Greece for a week, I noticed many things that are different from normal customs in the United States: walking to places is more common, meals at restaurants take longer, and public transportation is more efficient. However, I think my favorite...

Since coming to Stellenbosch, I have had a variety of amazing experiences. During our first week, we had an accelerated course examining the political history of South Africa with one of Stellenbosch’s best professors. Because the class size was so small, we...

A beautiful smooth trunkfish! Since my last post, we’ve since arrived at the Blue Marlin Resort on South Water Caye. The caye is located farther north than the caye we were at previously (Lime Caye), and there have been variations in species while snorkeling. On...

Hallo from Stellenbosch! I am enjoying my time here so far, and have been to some wonderful places. The BAMA study abroad story was so impactful that it made its way to the local news, which gave us an incredible feeling of accomplishment. We are now more excited than...
