I’m in amazement at the amazing experiences I’ve had so far as I sit here thinking back on my once-in-a-lifetime trip to study abroad in Athens, Greece. Every moment has been a treasure mine of discovery, whether it was touring the picturesque town of Oia...

The halfway point of my semester in Madrid has now come and gone, and I thought it was a perfect time to think about how things have gone in the past two months. While it has not always been easy transitioning into a country with a different language and culture,...

I chose to study abroad for a few reasons. My family and I have traveled around the US my whole life, so I thought it was only necessary to take this opportunity and travel Europe. I have family and friends who have studied abroad, and I’ve never had a conversation...

After a 13 hour plane ride ( and some tears) I arrived back at LAX. The past four months came and went so quickly as if the whole thing was an elaborate dream. My adventure coming to an end is extremely bittersweet. I’m excited to be home for the holidays with family...

My Final week in Rome had to be most chaotic yet. While wanting to fit in as much as I possibly could, I was also faced with finals. I got to go to the Sistine chapel, the catacombs, and walk once more past the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, and I got to study...

I had never done a travel journal until this trip, but I am happy I started one. Traveling prior to now, I usually just try to take pictures as a means of remembering my travels. To a point that has worked, but in time the little moments that I once thought to be...

In addition to cars, trucks, vans, and buses like we are used to here in the United States, motorcycles are very common on the road in Thailand. Motorcycles I have seen in Thailand include scooters, Harleys, dirt bikes, and racing bikes. Many Thai people use scooters...
