After three flights, two delays and a total of thirty-nine hours of traveling I am finally back home in Florida. The last time I made a post was right before I took my language pledge for a month and I’m now finally free to speak as much English as I want, so please excuse me…
Heading Home…
Having survived finals week in a completely different testing system, my study abroad experience has come to an end. The past three months in Ireland have been unimaginably fantastic! I have learned so much, met plenty of intriguing people and successfully immersed myself in the Irish way of life. There are so many things I…
Leaving
Hey Friends and Family, just checking in. Today is my last day here in Athens and it’s one of those stereotypical bitter-sweet moments. I will miss the excitement of being abroad and having a new city to call home. Athens is a beautiful place full of some of the most amazing people I could have…
The Last Group of Blog Posts
I will write something mushy about how much I love Oviedo soon, but here is the last chunk of posts from my personal blog. Click here to read on my personal blog. My flickr with all my photos is here. These are in reverse order. Our Great Italian Adventure: Part 4: There and Back Again, or…
Coming to an end
Words cannot describe how amazing the past four months have been. As I am writing this there are only two more days left before I end my journey in Italy. I remember just boarding my eight hour flight to fly across the world to come here, and how I was filled with nerves and excitement…
It’s not goodbye, its ¡Hasta luego!

I’m Ready to Leave
I have less then a week left in this country and I can’t wait to go home. Don’t get me wrong, I more than enjoyed my time here in the United Kingdom, but I miss the United States, with the exception of the politics. I miss my pets, my family, my friends, Rollins, my job…
The End is Nigh
It is amazing how quickly this three-month semester is coming to a close. That famous saying of “time flies when you’re having fun” was completely evident with my study abroad experience because three months were gone in a blink of an eye. But I did so much, met so many great people, and made so…
GOOD-byes? Are you serious?
As the end draws nearer all I can think of wanting for the holidays is not having to leave Ireland. I don’t want to leave my friends from all over the world, I don’t want to leave my ultimate Frisbee team that’s really become a family, and I don’t want to leave the country that…
