Good evening to all of my readers! As those of you who have been following my blog might know (or what you will learn if you are reading for the first time), I recently left the State of Florida to explore the world by continuing my studies at the Queen Mary University of London. However,…
Living in History
It has been over a month since I arrived in Athens, and feel as though I know the rhythm of the city. Though I still stand out as a tourist I’m sure, I feel comfortable (and confident) that I can make it to a new place without getting lost. The food is delicious, and people…
Bonjour, from Paris!
Since October 3 is the National German Day of Unity (basically their fourth of July), we didn’t have classes. That meant we got an extra 2 days of traveling this weekend! We decided to spend the weekend in Paris! We took the bus overnight Thursday. With all the traveling we have done with Flixbus, we…
Celebrating Oktoberfest (in September)
Studying in Germany, I definitely felt obligated to go to Oktoberfest. Since it isn’t actually in October, but rather the end of September, we only had a short amount of time to plan a trip. We managed to squeeze in one day September 22. An overnight bus from Bremen to Munich was about 12 hours…
Blog 2: September in Bremen
I can’t believe an entire month has passed since I’ve been in Germany. I won’t lie, the first week and a half of school was extremely hard and I was even almost regretting my decision to do a study abroad program. It was just such a drastic change and I had trouble finding a constant…

I also got to know…
Blog Post 1 in Australia
During my first week in Australia, I attended the TEAN study abroad orientation in Cairns, which is one of the main tourist cities in Australia known for its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef! We went snorkeling and diving at the reef, held koalas and fed kangaroos, learned about Aboriginal culture, and were taught about…

Llegamos a Santiago de Compostela a las 9:00 mas o menos y fuimos al hostel se llama…
Going to Germany
The few months before leaving for abroad, you go on a rollercoaster of emotions. First, there was happiness. In the spring, when all of your friends who went abroad come back to Rollins and tell you about the most amazing experience they had. Then follows FOMO, or fear of missing out, when you realize that…
The Gospel Truth
Ladies and gents it has been a TIME AND A HALF since we have last hung out! How is everyone? (Hi Nat, Luke and Jack!) I have been dancing through life these past couple weeks in Greece doing super Greek things- so much so that when I look in the mirror I start to see…
