As I make my way back to the US I am very bittersweet but utterly grateful that I studied abroad in Florence because of the ease and affordability of traveling on weekends. Disclaimer, my affiliate program, API, had several excursions prepared for us on weekends where...

Last Sunday, at 4:15 A.M., I stood in the New Orleans airport waiting to embark on the trip of a lifetime. Tired and overwhelmed, my mind raced through a variety of fears. Would my Spanish be good enough to get by? Would my host family like me? Would I make friends?...

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,...

Heading to Worcester College in Oxford, England was beyond nerve wracking. I really had no clue what to expect. What would the room situation be like? Would the campus live up to the photos I had seen of it? Arriving on campus, my nerves were immediately calmed and I...

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....
