Adrenaline Rush 03/06/15

“The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast and you miss all that you are traveling for.” —Louis L’Amour These wise words were engrained in my mind as I persevered to the peak of Mount Grappa. Early Saturday morning, my global economics professor kindly offered to drive me to the base of Mount Grappa. I […]

The French Riviera: From Nice to Monaco 03/03/15

My travels led me to Nice, France this past weekend. Let me begin by saying that Nice is more than nice. The French Riviera is gorgeous, enchanting, and glamorous altogether. This scenic region attracts rich tourists from all over the world, so as a poor college student I figured why not experience this area myself! […]

Catalonia Dreaming 02/20/15

It’s crazy to think I have officially been in Italy for one month! Time is flying by, yet moving slowly. I’ve done so many new things over the past four weeks that it feels as though I have been here for much longer. A girls weekend in Barcelona was just what I needed—complete with relaxation, […]

We left campus Friday around 5 p.m. and went to the Venice airport. We flew to Barcelona. Our plane was slightly delayed so we arrived in Barcelona late that night. […]

(Positive) Culture Shock 02/10/15

While preparing to travel abroad, people always warned me about culture shock. They warned that I would feel out of place, uncomfortable and surprised by the way some things are done here. What they didn’t warn me about was positive culture shock. The phrase “culture shock” has adopted a negative connotation. However, after being here […]

Wanderlust 01/06/15

I’m two weeks out from my first trip to Europe. Or 16 days, according to the countdown on my iPhone. Needless to say I am a little excited. Okay, a little is an understatement. I am stoked to begin this journey. When I arrived back at school this past semester, I had an itch. I couldn’t quite tell […]

Fiesta then Siesta 12/16/14

Barcelona really knows how to celebrate. The Sunshine Crew arrived late on Wednesday for the final extended weekend of the program. This city was so lively at night it surprised all of us! The next morning we woke up pretty late. I would never have thought of the lack of sleep I would be getting […]

(Un)Knowingly Loving It 12/16/14

As I finalized the paperwork that would send me to Italy, what I did know is that I would absolutely love traveling around Europe and experiencing the many different cultures that this experience has to offer me. What I didn’t know is that I would make some of the best friends and that I would […]

Prahahaha! The Prague Blog 12/12/14

Never on my experience studying abroad did I think that I would visit the Czech Republic- I am so glad I did. The sunshine crew (Lindsey, Taylor, and my new given nickname) was back in action. We traveled Saturday morning to Prague and let me tell you it was definitely Fall. Near the end of […]
