After a semester abroad, you learn a lot about a new culture and yourself. For me, a big part of studying abroad is also trying to figure out where I would want to live and work in my career. I spent this semester traveling to six new countries Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Hungary, and…

Less than a Month!
The countdown begins till it’s the end of the semester, and everyone flies home. Time has been flying by. It doesn’t feel like November is almost over, and this mostly has to do with this semester being so busy with school and travel. School itself is not hard here, and all professors are very straightforward…
Ciao da Roma!
After being here for 50 days I do not really have many complaints about Rome. Sure the dog that barks every morning starting at seven in the morning till noon or the lady above is who seems love practicing her tap dancing early in the morning can get annoying, but it is worth it. Luckily…
First Month in Rome
I have officially been in Rome for over a month. It has been such an incredible experience. We have our own flat in Monteverde. It is a little bit of a hike uphill to school, but sometimes packing into a public bus is worth it. Everything is very close or easily accessible. People are very…
Roma
My name is Lily Goodlive, and I am heading into my senior year. I am majoring in International Business and minors in economics and Spanish. I am very excited to spend another semester abroad! I am currently sitting at the airport waiting to board my flight to Rome. I spent the fall semester of 2016…
Home!
After 107 in Europe, you don’t realize how much you have learned till you get home. After sharing stories with friends and family, you realize you experienced once in a life time memories with certain people. Before this semester, I have only been out of the country for cruises. Now I know how much there…
Hasta Luego, Spain!
This semester is almost over, and I am just about to start packing for my journey back home. After living in Kansas my whole summer and only being home two weeks in the past six months, I am very eager to return. This past week, I was able to travel around Italy (Rome, Florence, and…
3 Weeks
We have less than three left! The past week was pretty busy for me. I spent my thanksgiving in class and going to an American restaurant In Oviedo. It wasn’t quite turkey and mash potatoes, but I was okay with a chicken burrito and a chocolate milkshake. That weekend, I flew to Munich with my…
Twincation
I was lucky enough to spend the last week visiting Brussels and Amsterdam with my twin. When I read about Brussels, I now know they are not kidding about your diet being waffles, fries, and chocolate. In the past week, I probably consumed about 7 waffles. Brussels had an abundance of chocolate shops that were…
Week number 8
It has been about eight weeks here, and it feels like it has been two. Over the past two weeks, I went to Barcelona and started classes at the University of Oviedo. So far, Barcelona has been my favorite place. Barcelona has something for everyone. Whether you want to see culture, the beach, or site…
