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...

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...

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...

As of today, I have spent an entire week in Belize. This experience has been one of my life’s most challenging yet also most incredible times, and I’m so excited for the rest of the trip. When I arrived on Tuesday, I was able to get through customs with...

I am currently writing to you from Athens, Greece, going on 25 hours with no sleep! This is the first stop of many on my study abroad trip. I will be taking an International Financial Reporting Standards class over roughly 2 and a half weeks. As previously mentioned,...

I will be departing from the US in two days to begin my professor-led abroad program, and I am both excited and nervous. I have never traveled to Europe, so I cannot wait to immerse myself in the beautiful, historic cites of Athens and Paris. Research has been a large...

Being back home has been a conflicting experience. On one hand I was feeling slightly homesick throughout my trip, while on the other I began dreading the idea of leaving such a surreal experience. Studying abroad in Belize fulfilled every desire I had imagined for...

So, you know you want to study abroad but you are having trouble choosing a program – let’s be honest it can be a bit overwhelming! This was definitely one of the most grueling parts of the study abroad application process, but having just completed my...

It’s a little over a week until I leave for Belize, and I am counting down the days! I’ve already acquired a pair of flippers and booties from a family friend, but I have still yet to pack any of the items I’ll need. There is a challenge in packing...

For months, I was eager to study abroad. Family and friends raved about their own travel experiences, and each new story spurred my desire for adventure. I knew the next 5 months were going to be some of the best of my life. Then, about three weeks before I was set to...

Still living the dream! I have been in Dubrovnik for a month and a half and it has exceeded all my expectations. One of my favorite things it being able to explore Eastern Europe. I have visited countries such as Bosnia and Montenegro, places I would have never even...

When overseas, a lot of things can deviate from what you’re used to. The most obvious of these is language. While in many Western countries, English is a common second language, you can’t necessarily depend on the very person you’re trying to...

Many times when traveling, we tend to think about what we’ve already packed and planned to see when we get there, but we don’t always consider what the experience of meeting the locals will be like, and what new sites and experiences that they can...

While I studied my destination to a considerable degree before travelling, what I didn’t fully expect was the difference in the way that Germans choose to live life. They don’t permit their life to be a daily grind of essentially enabling their employment,...
