Embarking on a journey to a foreign place is often filled with unexpected twists and turns. My adventure to Porto, Portugal, for the European Innovation Academy began with a delay and a minor hiccup. However, despite the initial setbacks, I found myself embracing the...

It’s hard to believe I have been studying abroad for over two weeks! While I love Oxford, having the opportunity to take day trips outside of the city to places like London has been incredible. This post will detail my trip to Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s...

The amazing thing about Europe is the endless routes and possibilities of travel. As someone who had only been out of the country once before, I wanted to take full advantage of Europe’s trains, and see as many places as possible. Here is a list of a few of my...

Wow! It has been a really fun few weeks in the UA in Colombia program. We are on the final two weeks of our program right now, and I think now is the perfect time to reflect on the amazing memories I’ve made, as well as share some advice when it comes to...

Hola! I’ve been living in Madrid for almost three weeks now, and it’s taken a bit to get adjusted to a different way of living. After a week of 3-hour long siestas (just adjusting), I’ve started to become accustomed to the different lifestyle. For starters, I walk or...

As I get closer and closer to my departure, I find myself more and more nervous. Generously, I would say I got about 4 hours. Non-consecutively, of course. I tend to be an anxious person anyway, but for some reason I thought that the idea of leaving the country for an...

Voy a hablar sobre mi viaje a Cartagena! That means I am about to talk about our trip to Cartagena, Colombia. Cartagena was our second trip as a group, and it took about 2 hours from Baranquilla, where were staying now. We were told we were going on a city tour,...

The next stop in our trip after Vietnam was to the beautiful country of Cambodia. In my last post, I discussed some of the things I loved most about Vietnam, and I will do the same here for Cambodia! Our first host city was Siem Reap, home to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is...

Traveling to Guatemala Week one in Guatemala was filled with so much from class to adventure, and even to my birthday. We arrived in Guatemala City on a Friday afternoon and from there we had to take a bus from the capital to a small town called Antigua, which is...

During my time in South Africa and now since returning home and getting readjusted to the American society, I realize one of the biggest beuaties that I took for granted was right in front of me the entire time…the mountians. While they are everywhere in South...

I have never mastered the art of small talk, and I likely never will. As a lifelong introvert, the concept of forcing chatter and filling awkward silences terrifies me. The copious amounts of...

Hi everyone! I am about halfway through my study abroad program in Madrid, Spain, so I thought it was about time to tell a little bit about what life has been like so far. When I first arrived in Madrid, I was excited but terrified. Before this trip, I had never been...

These past four weeks in Colombia have been surreal. I am a bit disappointed that there are only two weeks left in the program because there is still so much to explore. However, I have enjoyed my time here and have loved exploring the city of Barranquilla. During the...

I have just begun my third week in Madrid. I am having so much fun and learning so much about Spanish history and culture. I have also made many new friends. Some of the things I have had to adjust to are having meals later (lunch at 2 and dinner at 8!) and walking...

At this point in the trip, I’ve spent a week in Paris, followed by three weeks of studying at the Institut de Touraine. I only have one week left here in Tours before I am off to the United States. All of the students from Alabama got split into different host...
