As my study abroad trip comes to a close, one thing I have thought a lot about is how well I did or did not prepare for my time in each city. Luckily for me, the first half of my trip was in London and I got to share the experience with a friend that had already been...

The second half of my study abroad we were in Lisbon, Portugal. We have been traveling non-stop and now are in a new location with a new place to call home until the trip is over. I don’t know how this trip is going by so fast, but we are nearing the end. Lisbon...

I think my favorite part about traveling through London was being able to see Big Ben, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, and so many more places that I dreamed of seeing. Days feel so much longer while in London that we were able to see so much in just one day. Little...

I decided to write this post while being on my long trip home to the usa. I was able to reflect and think about the good and the bad and what I would do if the opportunity arose for me to go abroad again or even more abroad. For starters, I was only in Spain for 2...

While traveling abroad I experienced a lot of culture shock. I spent two weeks in Spain, specifically Madrid and Barcelona. Seeing the different culture was not only eye opening but sometimes confusing or frustrating. For example, Spaniards are extremely touchy and...

I landed in Birmingham after over 24 hours of solid traveling. It’s a lot of work to cross an ocean. I made several of my favorite memories in Barcelona in our last 5 or so days of being abroad. We visited a gorgeous cathedral, an old military fortress, and I...

Depending on where you will be traveling to, public transportation may be a useful way to navigate the city that you will be living in for the foreseeable future. If you have never used public transportation before, it may seem like a daunting and scary experience....

Enjoying the Local Cuisine While you are abroad, there will certainly come a time when you and a few others within your group may venture off to enjoy a meal in your free time. This has been one of my favorite activities on my trip so far. Getting to experience...

My first impression when I arrived in Australia was that I was in an exciting place. I landed in Sydney first, and I wanted to see a glimpse of the opera house from the plane. I knew that I would later get the chance to explore it. I have an extended study abroad with...

I chose to study abroad in Australia to broaden my horizons in the world of international business. I think a lot of business for me can be done in an English-speaking country, and I thought this would a great place to learn more about a different consumer market and...

Upon returning to the United States, I couldn’t believe how much I had seen and done in a short time. I had taken in so much history, immersed myself in different cultures, tried new foods, etc. Coming home was bittersweet. I missed fast food, the comfort of...

Studying abroad has always been an interest of mine during college. I received an email about a scholarship to study abroad in Rome, Italy for a month during the summer. Italy was on my top 3 list of places I wanted to study abroad. This was a perfect opportunity and...

Although the prospect of studying abroad is exciting, preparing for the things you want to do and see on your trip can be beyond daunting. Before leaving for Italy, my TikTok was filled with recommendations for restaurants, leather and jewelry shops, gelaterias and...

Last fall 2023 I heard about a scholarship opportunity to study abroad in Italy. I figured that it was a long shot of me ever winning this scholarship but in life we miss every shot that we don’t take. I had always had dreams of traveling the world and seeing...

When the plane touched down in Rome, I was beyond excited to be in Italy. I felt a bit overwhelmed with how busy it was how different the buildings look, and even the people (how they dress, language barrier, etc.). There were no negative thoughts running through my...

I chose to study abroad for a variety of reasons. I have always wanted to travel the world and experience different cultures, and try new things. It truly fascinates me how people across the world can live so differently than how I am used to in the United States. ...
