Alright so, it’s truly Fall now, but it’s been cold here in Northern Germany since early-mid September and man is it hard to go from the endless Southern Summers to real seasons again. I feel like I’ve been traveling every weekend, which I kind of have been: Berlin,...

By Indya Price | July 5, 2024 Studying abroad never came to mind until I went to the study abroad fair in fall. Seeing all the places you could go really made me take a major interest in it. I’ve never been out of the country so I felt like this would be a great...

It always feels good to return home, no matter how wonderful the experience abroad was. I know for a fact I was ready to sleep in my own bed and pet my kitty, Honey (pictured below). However, after being abroad once, I have the urge to go abroad more. This experience...

When I arrived in Rome, despite the long day of travel, I was so excited that I didn’t feel tired at all. After being picked up from the airport by someone from API Abroad Experience (an organization partnered with the UA Abroad program) and taken to a hotel where I...

Now that I’m back home, a lot of thoughts and feelings are running through my mind. Walking through the airport when I first arrived felt a bit surreal. By the end of my trip in Rome, I was definitely ready to come home—not because I didn’t enjoy my time there, but I...

Arriving at Marco Polo Airport in Venice, my first impressions of Europe was that it was not nearly as humid as Alabama. I was relieved when I finally landed, I had been restless on the plane ride from Atlanta. It was over 12 hours long. We had to take a boat to our...

When I arrived in Denmark for my study abroad program, one of the first things that impressed me was the public transportation system. Taking the metro from the airport to where we are staying was very easy. The trains are driverless and run so smoothly. Everything...
