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,...

I have been in Belgium for almost three weeks now, and it’s almost time to go home! This time in the program is very bittersweet, as I’m tired (travelling is a lot more work than you think!) and missing home, but I’m also nowhere near ready to leave...

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....
