I’ve only recently begun to feel the excitement of going abroad because I finally have everything I need to actually go ahead and do it. Starting last fall the thought process began and it’s really insane…

That’s Amore
Capri and Sorrento When one usually thinks of Italy Rome, and the stunning Amalfi coast, are most likely the two pictures that come to mind. Even though I believe I could spend the rest of my life in Roma I was longing to get to the coast as well. So, our program packed up our…
Spring Break in Greece Cont.
After departing Corfu we took a bus (driven by an eccentric old man named Socrates) to Athens. The city itself wasn’t entirely impressive in my opinion.
