I had to submit this blog early because I’m off to Rome for the next few days! This weekend begins my next phase of traveling! In the next few weeks I will also be visiting Barcelona and Edinburgh. Just like I wrote in my last blog, I have found myself concentrating more on academics than…
Return from Fall Break
Happy Election Day! I’m over in France, terrified about the state of the world in the next twelve hours, as is every other study abroad student at my school. What a way to celebrate. Let’s not think about that. In other news, I have just returned from Fall Break, a ten day pause in life…
A Native Floridian’s First Snowfall
Yesterday, I saw snow for the first time that wasn’t the fake soap kind Orlando theme parks like to use for effect. As you can imagine having never lived outside of Florida, I became overly excited when it happened. At first, I was confused and thought to myself, “Okay, this is either really tiny hail…
Is it really the second half of the semester?
Hello hello!!! Sorry for not posting last week, it was CAPA’s break week so I didn’t really pay that much attention to my computer since I went to the Netherlands for a week! I know you guys have fall break at Rollins way earlier than us, but our break week just ended, remarking that we…
Island Time

I had been planning to head to Rome to visit Elexsa, Paula and Andrea studying there this semester. Needless to say, I ate a ridiculous amount…
Beginning our tour of Italy!
The past two weeks have been more academic than entertaining for me. I had one of my first assignments due last week, which is weird since we are practically halfway through the term at this point. Coming into the program, the professors who gave speeches during orientation told us that the workload might be difficult…
Spain Study Abroad Update
So this last two weeks I have explored to Ribadesella, Spain and Brussels and Amsterdam! Ribadesella was a trip I took through Rollins and it was absolutely beautiful. It is almost hard to believe how beautiful some of these places are that are practically in my backyard. My twin and I ventured to Brussels and…
Madrid and Toledo
These past two weeks I spent traveling to Madrid and Toledo. Before my travels, I was unfortunate enough to get sick and spent almost a week trying to recover. By the time I got to Madrid, I met up with friends and made sure to get plenty of sleep that night so I would recover…
