I’m getting pretty excited for my trip! I’m starting to get all of my stuff together and ready for the trip. I’ve purchased the ticket(Delta:D), a new backpack, a new suitcase, some dress shoes(because I’ll be visiting important places, and a...

This will be my second study abroad trip. Although I’m going back to Europe, everything about the trip will be different this time around. Last year I went to Rome for five weeks through ISA. I loved being in a new place with people I’ve never met before...

After thirty-six hours of traveling, I have finally arrived in China. When we arrived at the Beijing airport, our group had two hours to explore before the next flight. So, a few of my classmates and I decided to eat at one of the airport restaurants. The waitress did...

These past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind of nonstop excursions/activities/adventures and I just finished my final paper for my class so I thought what better time to sit down and recap one of the best experiences of my life. We did so much that I couldn’t...

When I first arrived in Berlin, Germany, we immediately went to go explore the city. Although I was tired, I was so excited to be in this new country and I wanted to experience new things. We had a little bit of trouble trying to find somewhere to eat lunch. Either...

Who knew two weeks could change a person so much? On May 31, I got on a plane in Atlanta, completely scared and afraid of what awaited me on the other side of the pond. When my program ended on June 16, I was confident in so many new found ways: in my ability to...

When I first arrived in Barcelona I was terrified. I started wondering why my parents would ever let me do something like this. When I was waiting in the customs line no one spoke any English and I started asking myself ‘what have I got myself into?’. ...

How can anyone ever expect you to willingly leave paradise? Leaving Europe was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. I was virtually in denial the entire day before I left. I looked at the mountains and palaces that surrounded me and just couldn’t...

It’s been 10 days since I first left America to begin my summer adventure abroad, and I have loved every second of it! My mom surprised my sister and I with a family trip to Scotland, Ireland, and England before our actual study abroad session began. I feel like I...

As I sit and stare at the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor I wonder how I could have let this happen. Its 2 am and my flight leaves in 6 hours. I haven’t put one thing in my suitcase. How does a college student from Alabama pack for London for a month?...

Hello! My name is Patrick Steadman, and I have chosen to study abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark for the entire month of July. There will be many posts to come highlighting Copenhagen and any other place I get the opportunity to visit, but this post is focused on another...

So here I am. After months of planning and preparation, I’m an hour into a five hour layover before I set foot oon a 747 bound for Sao Paulo, Brazil. My decision to embark on this adventure has been the culmination of chance, a great history class, and a desire...

It truly is a surreal feeling being dropped off at an airport to leave everything you know for 5 weeks. My boyfriend, my new apartment, my pets, and the food in Tuscaloosa I’ve grown to adore. After 26 hours of travel, I’ll be landing in Sydney, Australia and then...

Three sleepless nights, two over-packed suitcases, and one pre-study abroad beach trip with the family down and tomorrow I head off to Europe. I am studying abroad in Denmark at Denmark Technical University, and am leaving the country for the first time. I am...

It feels weird packing up. For the past four months, all of the people and friends I have met, the places I have seen, and the adventures I have been living will now all be a part of the past. It is hard knowing that Italy is far away from me. Don’t get me...
