After sleeping and sweating through the overnight train from Roma to Syracuse, the Sicilian beaches were a welcome comfort. In the first three weeks of the trip, we enjoyed busy days filled with sightseeing and monuments, we saw the remnants of history and were able...

Learning outside of the traditional classroom also comes with the challenge of professors designing a course different from the typical format of lectures, homework, and exams. While this is not to say the workload will be any less than an on-campus course, it was...

I feel that I have to start by saying that this is inevitably going to be one of the best experiences of my life. I’m over halfway through my trip now and It’s been everything I imagined and so much more. When I first arrived in Belize I was hit by heat,...

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...

My view from my window seat on the plane to London. If you would have told me a year ago that today, I would be sitting in the airport waiting to board my first international flight to Heathrow Airport in London, I never would have believed you. Ever since I took...

One of my favorite parts about studying abroad is being able to travel to other places easily. I have traveled almost every weekend since studying in Barcelona. Since I also do an internship here, I have to be back for work on Monday morning which makes my weekends...

Here’s to the beginning of something new and I think the hardest part of this process was picking which program I wanted and which country I wanted to study in. The rest of the hard decisions were left up to API, the affiliate program I chose. With API making...

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...

I first decided, about a year ago, that I was going to commit to making studying abroad a reality. I’ve been interested in going abroad for much longer but didn’t feel that It was possible financially. I eventually reached a point where I was determined to...

Getting Ready for Take Off When going abroad, whether for the first time or the fifteenth, we all have ideas in mind of what to do in advance. Buy luggage, pack extra socks, maybe study a few essential words in a language- all good things! What stands out to me most,...

I have hoped to study abroad in Spain since my freshman year, as many Spanish minors dream of, and I feel and I am so thankful that I am able to before my graduation in August. Madrid has been my home for about a week now, and I could never have predicted all that I...

Since I knew my plan was to go to college, the one thing I had completely been sure that I was going to do was study abroad. Little 9th grade me in high school would dream about roaming the streets of Rome or walking across the Champs Elysée with a baguette in hand or...

Having left for Cambodia straight from campus without a chance to go home first, it was a relief to finally head home. But at the same time, before I even got on the return flight, I knew I’d be missing this experience. I already miss experiencing so...

There are some countries which you have an idea of what they look like from media such as movies, but Cambodia is one I had yet to catch a glimpse of – the only popular cameo of the country comes in the first Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie. The photo on the left...
