I’m a couple weeks in on my trip and this is the time where you’re finally starting to get adjusted, where you’re getting past the initial excitement and should be settling in, and I have felt that settling in but also a overwhelming wave of...

Saturday night I took an 8 hour flight to London and left the United States for the first time in my life. I boarded a bus to Oxford University and have spent the last three days exploring the beautiful campus of Worcester College, and city of Oxford. I have been...

At this point in the trip, our time in Germany was coming to an end. However, I was not looking forward to what was to come. We had planned a 16 hour coach trip from Berlin to Florence, breaking another personal record of mine: the longest I’ve traveled in a day. I...

I could not be more excited for my flight today. It is hard to imagine that at this time tomorrow, I will be in Italy. I have always wanted to travel, so as soon as I was presented the opportunity to go abroad, I did not hesitate to start the process. My primary...

I can’t believe I leave for Italy in less than twelve hours. Just one sleep and two flights and I will be in Europe! Like the procrastinator I am, I spent the entire day packing and making last-minute purchases, although I probably wouldn’t recommend this method. I am...

I get it: we all build up our study abroad trips in our heads as perfect, flawless adventures. However, in reality, there will be bumps along the way just like any other day. This was definitely true for me. On the plane ride over, I couldn’t sleep the entire...

I was so excited to go overseas. I had been to Budapest, Hungary in 2018 for a missions trip during which we held an English camp for Hungarian students. This trip was going to be completely different! This wouldn’t be with a lot of students I already knew, but...

Growing up near Saint Augustine, Florida, I am no stranger to historical monuments. But North American old and European old are two completely different things. To put it in perspective, Castillo de San Marcos is 350 years old, while the Colosseum is approximately...

There’s a maxim in language learning that claims that no one has ever learned a language in a classroom. This, of course, goes against the hours and hours Bama students spend in BB Comer studying conjugation, vocabulary, and pronunciation. For years, I have been one...
