When I first discovered that I had been placed at an internship position with Matterport, I didn’t know exactly what to expect as I’d never been very familiar with 3D capture technology companies. Despite this, I was rather excited to know that I would be working with an organization whose clientele hailed from the world…
Month: October 2019
Preamble to A New Chapter
It wasn’t until I found myself staring at the flight details on my computer screen that it hit me: This would be the first time I’d be leaving the United States in over four years. Four years of an exponentially growing wanderlust finally manifested itself in a rush of unfiltered excitement. Colombia was more than…
Fall Break Extravaganza
When I found out that there was no Thanksgiving break, I was very disappointed. However, when I heard that all of the CAPA students get a week off at the mid-point of the semester I was ecstatic. Some of my roommates and a couple other friends decided to travel around Europe during this week. The…
First Few Weeks
My first few weeks here in London have been nothing short of exceptional. I have gotten settled in with my roommates and meet my internship team. I am looking forward to what the next few months will look like. Although I have been abroad before, this time will be a truly different experience, mainly because…
Pre-departure Flight
I believe with my identity I see the world in a more open-minded manner. Being from Colombia but living for America for the majority of my life, I believe I have a more open-minded perspective. I was raised through two different cultures, emphasizing different values and mentalities. These different values help me see the world…
The tube, tea, and travel
The halfway point has come and went for my time abroad. It’s crazy to think that I’ve already been living, working, and studying in London for two months. When everyone warns you that it goes by in a blink of an eye they are not exaggerating. Now that it is almost Halloween, the days are…
Ravenna: my fall break adventure
Ciao a tutti! Something so exciting and amazing happened to me this past weekend! Through a travel scholarship funded by the art history department at Rollins, I was able to travel to Ravenna and see some of the art of my dreams. Ravenna is home to 8 UNESCO world heritage sites and is particularly famous…
Fall Break Trip to Amsterdam!
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel to Amsterdam thanks to the Art History Department Travel Research Grant I received last semester. I received this grant so I could begin my research for my senior honors thesis in the Art History major, which I plan to do on Vincent Van Gogh. My plan…
Fall Break: Paris, Geneva, & Nice
Fall Break abroad is as glamorous at it sounds. Being located in Rome, Italy comes with the perk of cheap travel prices for basically anywhere in the EU. The downside is that when it came to planning out fall break was there were so many options! I was traveling with my friend, Nancy, so we…
At the end of my study break
Its Halloween and it is so strange not being in the states. I’m on a study week break from classes which have been going on about a month and I’ve only had one assignment due! It is so odd not having constant homework but I am enjoying the free time. Since I wrote last, I…
