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...

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...

Preparing to travel abroad involves a lot of work in advance, but it’s important to gather all that together in the last two weeks as you prepare to fly. Two weeks before my faculty-led study abroad to Italy, I returned from a family trip to India and started...

So many cats!! This one is from Mykonos 🙂 It was my freshman year when I decided to commit to a summer study abroad program in Italy. It had always been my dream to study abroad and I eventually wanted to do a full year abroad as well, but wanted to test the waters...

My plane was delayed by about an hour on my 9 hour flight to Berlin. I was a bit anxious as it would be the longest plane ride I’ve taken. It would also be the first time I traveled alone other than for school. I was nervous to say the least, but my excitement...

These past three weeks I have been a part of the Intermediate Macroeconomics (EC 309) trip to Croatia and Italy. The way our program was structured is the first week we took classes Monday through Thursday and then had our midterm that Friday, then the following week...

As I was preparing to leave to come back to the US, I couldn’t help but feel sad. On one hand I was happy to have home cooked food instead of eating out and to sleep in a room other than a hotel room. Again my packing cubes came in handy again to get all of my clothes...

The first place I am traveling to is to Paris, France. Paris was awe inspiring. The most fun I had in the city was just walking around and walking into random stores and bakeries. Of course the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Muse d’Orsay were...

I think that many people would give advice to Future students about what to pack, what to wear, and all of the logistics, but my advice is to make the absolute most of your trip. Fit in as much as you possibly can. I went to 7 different countries in 2 ½ weeks, which...

A short trip of only 27 days to hit everything in Europe seems nearly impossible, but my group and I fit in as much as possible. We stayed in Berlin and Florence, however, took day trips to Paris, Prague, Dresden, London, Venice, Rome, and Pisa. One of my favorite...

I have always wanted to travel abroad, specifically during my 4 years of college, but once Covid hit, which effected the end of my freshmen year as well as my entire sophomore year, I wasn’t sure I would have the opportunity to. Losing an entire summer of a chance to...

I noticed almost immediately (and by immediately, I mean before the plane even took off from Charlotte) how little consideration I had given to learning Italian prior to my trip. After slinging my stuff through the narrow aisle and locating my way-in-the-back window...
