Preparing to travel had to be the scariest part of Study Abroad for me. Figuring out how much to pack, should I bring all of these supplies, how many different pairs of shoes do I need? It was a lot. I also have a tendency to overpack, and this trip was no different....

I’ve been home from my trip to Cambodia for a couple weeks now, but it feels like ages. It was such a long journey, and I was exhausted when I reached home, both physically and emotionally. Being an introverted person, I am glad to be home. I LOVED my team and all the...
