I think that if any of my personal identity aspects will effect the trip it is going to be the introvert vs extrovert. In the states I am much more on the introvert side of the scale. I think many people in the U.S. are more on this side, hanging out in our dorms for…

Kyoto tour: Fushimi Inari Shrine
These are the Torii Gates for which Japan is infamous, and rightly so. This was by far the most spectacular way I have interacted with Japanese traditional culture here so far. You could feel the spirituality of the shrine in the couple of seconds it took you to walk from the street, under the first…
Bricked
Look, I knowwwwwww that I should be so grateful and appreciative to have the ability to study abroad in college and experience a different culture for an entire semester, but wow. Not only have I been bored and broke and probably some other ‘b’ words, but come on London! You have so much history and…
No Hot Cheetos Here…
If you would have asked me how Buenos Aires was going three days ago, I would have responded with an “it’s alright”. Buenos Aires is your typical big city but with horrendous sidewalks. The chip selection is nonexistent, there are probably 4 types of cereal options to choose from and people here love their carbs….
First Impressions of Morocco

My routine involves attending classes, participating in campus activities, and completing the bulk of my schoolwork during the week so I can take advantage of my weekends to travel or get to know the town. I decided to…

One Month Down, and Honey, We’re Doing Just Fine
I am officially one month into study abroad and can now confirm, yes, it rains a lot a here in London. In fact, it even snowed a little last week. That was surprising. Despite the weather not being as sunny as Winter Park, Florida, there are a lot opportunities that I have been able to…
My first month in London!
My first month in London has been filled with trying new things, adjusting to city life, and making new friends. Over the course of my first month, I have had a pretty packed schedule with starting classes, my internship, exploring London’s big sights, and traveling a bit. Living I live in a flat with 3…
Ireland Round Two
Hello everyone! I tried to vlog this time around but I found thats actually much more difficult to do on the letters to america website so I decided to stick with my familiar friend: the keyboard. I have been back in Ireland since the 30th of December, to take my finals for the first semester…
