After my last post full of mishaps and crab-related injuries, I think it’s only fair that I relay some of the far more exciting and positive aspects of my experiences here as of late. One of the best things about studying abroad is not only that I have the chance to make Athens my home…

Greece and Beyond – Roma
This past weekend, I finally left Greece to explore the rest of Europe, with my first stop for this semester being Rome. It was amazing to see the difference between this historic city, and the one that I am not calling my temporary home. I loved everything about it; the cobblestone streets, the ancient ruins…
Technology Troubles and Aegina Island
I’ve always said that technology is my greatest ineptitude. I think that now, in my present situation, you all will very likely agree with me. On my study abroad journey, I write for two separate blogs-this one and one other, and it just so happens that on my last entry date the two coincided. I…
Classes, Adjustments, and Aggressive Children
It’s hard to believe it’s been only two weeks since I last blogged here. The time is passing so quickly, but I’d say that’s a good sign! I have quite a few updates on what I’ve been up to lately (as I’m sure you’re all dying to know). So we’ll start with the entire purpose…
My Not So Spring Break
These past 2 weeks have been full of excitement. Two of my best friends from Rollins, Rosie and Sam, came to visit me for their Spring Break vacation, since mine doesn’t start until the end of next week. I was only expecting Sam to come visit, as that’s what we had planned, but when I…
Londres (London)
Let’s be real, studying abroad in Europe has so many perks. Access to all these neighboring countries is definitely not something to be taken for granted. Who knows when is the next time you will get a round trip flight to LONDON for $100 again. London is not to be taken for granted. Three days was…
Oviedo – Mi amor
Initially, I strongly believe that this study abroad program and Oviedo, as a ciudad(city), in general are completely underrated. In this picture, you have a snapshot of the beauty of Oviedo, and Spain’s architecture.(On a side note I highly recommend taking Arte Historia in Casa Las Lenguas – also counts as an A general education…
The Homestay Option
March 3rd, 2016 I want to talk a little about the process of the homestay, because it is an option for certain study abroad programs and I didn’t know very much about it when I went in. Here in France, I live in a large home that is a little bit outside the city. I…
Soso is in Ruins
These past few days have been hard. The village I visited in Fiji, Soso; which I blogged about in my previous post, was completely destroyed in Cyclone Winston. When I heard about the destruction of the village I had come to love, I was speechless. I saw many of these people, literally days before they…
A Piece of Rollins came to Rome
Hello, looks like I’m due for an update. Seems all of the walking from my Venice trip aggravated my foot a lot as it is now purple! I rest it occasionally but I don’t like to stay in one place for long so it hasn’t fully recovered. My classes are going great and the tours…
