It’s been officially one month since I returned from participating in the UA in Oxford faculty led study abroad program. An evening of High Table at Worcester College with some of the most fabulous people. (Funny side note: I don’t like champagne LOL)...

While I loved every minute of my time in Oxford, I also enjoyed traveling on the weekends to see new places. Oxford is only a 1-1.5 hour train ride from London, so that made traveling to London easy. Also, the train system in the UK can get you practically anywhere...

I’m finally home from my three-week study abroad trip to Belgium, and although it’s great to be back, I can’t help but miss the routines and memories I made while abroad. On the last full day of the program, we traveled by metro-our last metro ride,...

One of the perks of studying in Oxford is the proximity to amazing cities! I was lucky enough to travel each weekend of my study abroad program entirely by train. I was so impressed by the efficient railway system in Europe and wish that the States had something...

I never would’ve thought I’d be so hesitant to go home to the states, or so ready to go back to Belize. Travel withdrawal is a real thing. Really though, I’ve found that even my busy days at home feel unproductive compared to how I was living abroad....

One thing I love about Italy is how easy it is to travel within the country. You can easily buy tickets for a train and travel wherever you want to go! Figuring out the train system was a little intimidating at first, but after you use it a couple of times it is very...
