Yesterday marked the end of our first of two excursions during our program and, though physically exhausted, I feel a newfound emotional and mental revitalization that has brought me out of a slump that, before this trip, I hadn’t even known I was in. During the last six days, I have traveled to both Arica,…
More to London
I can’t believe there are only 3 weeks left of the semester! It has flown by so fast and surprisingly, I’m not ready to leave! London has been an amazing experience for me personally. I’ve learned so much about the city; London is nothing of what I imagined it to be. This city is a…
Filling a Void
I have love and respect for every sport, but boy do Londoners love football! And by football I mean soccer. The sports culture of London is centered around football- from local to national and professional league, it is a sport that pretty much everyone has played or watched- either way they know the game. You…
Spring Break Like No Other
A few weeks ago we had our spring break week. My classmate and I planned a whole week to travel to other countries in Europe. The benefits of living in Europe is being able to easily travel to other countries within a week! We chose to visit Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Rome, Italy; and Athens,…
Three Weeks Left
My favorite experiences I have had in England have to be The Warner Bros. Studio Tour, The Making of Harry Potter, walking on Abbey Road, staring at everything in Harrods, watching Kendrick Lamar in concert, and site seeing the city. But my favorite moments have to be the times I shared with the people in…
Traveling
I’ve been never traveled so much in such a short amount of time than I have abroad. I never left the country until this experience and now I have been to Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and, obviously, England. The first country I went to outside of England was the Netherlands. I stayed in…
Camden Town
I am settled in Camden Town, and I absolutely love it here! Camden is very famous for its street art and music scene. The old MTV headquarters is around the corner from my flat and the Round House, a famous concert venue where countless famous bands have played, is within walking distance. There’s a bar…
Beautiful Disaster: Greece Addition
Ah Greece… Home to one of the worlds oldest ruins, gyros, white homes with blue buildings, and the ocean. What a place to vacation I thought! Only traveling with eight football players maybe an issue. Yes it was tough but it also was a beautiful disaster. Beautiful because we were headed to Mykonos via a…
First Few Weeks
Ciao! My first few weeks abroad have been eye opening experience. We do so many things differently then they do in Italy. The biggest difference for me will be the coffee… I love a large iced coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin Doughnuts. In Italy they drink small hot Cappuccinos or Macchiatos. That is going to…
Only three weeks to go
I can’t believe in about three weeks the program will be over and I’ll be leaving London to return to Florida. It has gone by so fast. Currently I am getting ready for my trip to Dublin, Ireland next week. I am so excited. I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland. Fingers crossed that the…
