(Written on 10/4 sorry for internet issues) I’ve been at Maynooth University in Ireland for about three weeks now and a lot has happened. Orientation was interesting, but from the very beginning I noticed that there is a clear difference in communication style between Rollins and Maynooth. Everything has been “they’ll tell you later”…

Traveling Europe/France
One of the things I was excited about the most about studying abroad was having the opportunity to travel to places I have never been to before. Not only being able to travel and experience cool new places, but the people you travel with too are what make the trips all so special. Since I…
2 Months Abroad – UK
My daily routine while studying in London seems pretty typical and I feel like I have gotten the hang of how native students spend their days. I have lived in Manhattan several different times so navigating a large city came fairly easy to me. I start my day by commuting to class where I take…
Pre-departure
During the pre departure orientation, we discudssed different situations, in which one, being from America, would most likely react differently to someone being from Europe. In many aspects, I believe I have a certain advantage over many people since I grew up in a “french” (kind of) and venezuelan household. I have traveled to visit…
Exploring the Region
Having spent a considerable amount of time in northern and southern Germany, I must say that the nature of the south is indisputably more beautiful. This conclusion, with which I am sure others can concur, I reached after partaking in two unforgettable experiences. Almost immediately after orientation at ESB Reutlingen, i was informed of two…
Embracing a New Culture
Growing up in a hispanic background with european and French cultures all in the same household was interesting to say the least. I always loved induldging myself in french culture as a kid as my father is French. I believe it helped me grow as a person and helped me become the man I am…
To me, this is how you live a life
Coming up on about 2 months left here in this magnificent country. Though I know my heart will shatter as the time comes to leave, I will also be extremely grateful for what this experience has given to me and what I can take away from it. These past two months have been not necessarily…
Traveling out of Ireland
Before I left on my international journey, I promised myself I would travel as much as I could. While this proved to be a little more difficult than I had hoped with my class schedule, at the start of my study break two days ago, I embarked on my most exciting trip. As I write…
Traveling Europe
When I decided to study abroad, I knew that I wanted to travel outside of London a bit to experience other cultures in the U.K. and in Europe. I had hoped to find a friend or two that would like to travel with me as well so that I wouldn’t be in unknown places by…
London and The Theater
Since arriving in London, I have had the good fortune to attend the theatre several times. I have been able to sit in various level seats, visit different types of venues, and see different types of productions. The first play I saw in London was Agatha Christy’s A Mouse Trap. It is the longest running…
