Trevi Fountain – Benson Knowles My whole life, I have always been interested in traveling to different places and learning about their culture and history. I chose to study abroad because I wanted to take advantage of where I am in my life right now. Being young...

Here’s to the beginning of something new and I think the hardest part of this process was picking which program I wanted and which country I wanted to study in. The rest of the hard decisions were left up to API, the affiliate program I chose. With API making...

At this point in the trip, our time in Germany was coming to an end. However, I was not looking forward to what was to come. We had planned a 16 hour coach trip from Berlin to Florence, breaking another personal record of mine: the longest I’ve traveled in a day. I...

I could not be more excited for my flight today. It is hard to imagine that at this time tomorrow, I will be in Italy. I have always wanted to travel, so as soon as I was presented the opportunity to go abroad, I did not hesitate to start the process. My primary...

I can’t believe I leave for Italy in less than twelve hours. Just one sleep and two flights and I will be in Europe! Like the procrastinator I am, I spent the entire day packing and making last-minute purchases, although I probably wouldn’t recommend this method. I am...

Growing up near Saint Augustine, Florida, I am no stranger to historical monuments. But North American old and European old are two completely different things. To put it in perspective, Castillo de San Marcos is 350 years old, while the Colosseum is approximately...

Preparing to travel abroad involves a lot of work in advance, but it’s important to gather all that together in the last two weeks as you prepare to fly. Two weeks before my faculty-led study abroad to Italy, I returned from a family trip to India and started...

So many cats!! This one is from Mykonos 🙂 It was my freshman year when I decided to commit to a summer study abroad program in Italy. It had always been my dream to study abroad and I eventually wanted to do a full year abroad as well, but wanted to test the waters...

My plane was delayed by about an hour on my 9 hour flight to Berlin. I was a bit anxious as it would be the longest plane ride I’ve taken. It would also be the first time I traveled alone other than for school. I was nervous to say the least, but my excitement...

As I was preparing to leave to come back to the US, I couldn’t help but feel sad. On one hand I was happy to have home cooked food instead of eating out and to sleep in a room other than a hotel room. Again my packing cubes came in handy again to get all of my clothes...

The first place I am traveling to is to Paris, France. Paris was awe inspiring. The most fun I had in the city was just walking around and walking into random stores and bakeries. Of course the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Muse d’Orsay were...

I think that many people would give advice to Future students about what to pack, what to wear, and all of the logistics, but my advice is to make the absolute most of your trip. Fit in as much as you possibly can. I went to 7 different countries in 2 ½ weeks, which...
