Las rubias se lo pasan mejor? Esta es la cuestión. Para averiguar la verdad, me convertí en una rubia. Bueno, en realidad, no completamente rubia. La parte superior de mi pelo todavía es marrón, pero el resto es oro pálido. Ahora lo se que estas pensando “Pero Shannon acabas de cortar tu pelo, y ahora…
Eat, Sleep, Adventure, Repeat
So it turns out that I absolutely adore Ireland with every fiber of my twenty year old being. Do you know what the first thing I noticed was? The grass. I am head over heels in love with the grass here. I’ve never seen anything in my life so green, with speckles and clumps of…
First Post in D.C.
Since I’ve arrived in D.C. everything has been tremendously busy. I don’t think I comprehended the schedule that I would be subject to before I actually got here and started living it. The bustle is not all bad, I much prefer to be busy than be bored. I’ll usually wake up and talk with my…

To be honest, I only decided to sign up for this in the…
Falling in Love with London
I haven’t slept a full night for about two weeks, my feet have heartbeats, and my legs set up every time I sit for too long. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. No sleep means things to do, things to see. Sore feet means endless adventures. Stiff legs means I’ve gotten enough exercise to work off…
Go the Distance
I have now been in Greece for three weeks and am still overwhelmed by the history and personality this country has to offer. My program/life is based in Athens but we go on field trips every few weeks to visit exactly what we have been studying- amazing huh? Two weeks ago we went to Delphi…

¡Hola! Bienvenidos a Oviedo, España conmigo.
Hola a todos! My name is Catey McCray and I am a second year student at Rollins. We were having some issues getting my account set up, typical, but I am excited to finally upload some insight into my trip! Much of the before consisted of packing up the things you would usually bring with…
