Hi people! So, last week I did not really do much TBH… It was kind of the “restart week” for the CAPA program since we just came back from break… Side note, doing laundry after one week of traveling in a 4 people-flat that only has one washer and two drying recs was a challenge….
Finding Love in Paris
Starting this last week our independent study projects for SIT have started and we don’t have a structured schedule anymore of classes and excursions. This is the time where we get to travel and explore Europe a bit, so I took a trip to Paris! It was amazing! The cheese, the views, the architecture, the…
A Weekend In Paris
Earlier this semester, I ventured with several CAPA peers to Paris on CAPA’s Paris Weekend. I was so excited to explore Paris, the city I had so long dreamed about, that I’ve seen romanticized in books, movies, and TV. The highlight of the weekend was definitely going up the Eiffel Tower. I was surprised by how…
10 Best Things To Do in London
I’m lucky enough to have friends who had studied in London before me, and the feedback I’ve unanimously received is to really take advantage of time in the city.

dont send me back to reality
I only have a few more weeks left in London, but sometimes it feels like I only just arrived. I have my plans for winter break and classes for next semester set so it all seems too real. Going home is coming up too fast, and soon it will be back to reality. Last week…
Earthquakes & Travelling
I experienced my first earthquake in Italy! At first I thought it was just my imagination, but when one of my roommates ran into my room in a panic, I knew it was real. It only lasted a couple of seconds but it was really scary! The frames moved and the windows shook. My mom…
Can’t Believe It
I’m currently in denial that I have to hop a plane in a few hours to go back home to the States. This has been the greatest 5 months of my life, and it’s hard to believe that it flew by so fast. Also can’t believe that this is going to be my last blog…
Welcome Home
Ok, so I am not really sure how to do this. But, here it goes. I am back in America. I had to leave Jordan early due to medical circumstances. The fabulous people at SIT are letting me complete my semester with full credits from here in the US because the circumstances were emergent. But…
Japan: A Side Final
Hello and goodnight! I didn’t get to post before Halloween, before my Tokyo trip. To be honest, that weekend I wanted to call the whole trip off. But I didn’t, and the reasons and the carnage and the life changing events that ensued afterwards will have to wait for Japan: B Side. So to end…
2 DAYS TILL I LEAVE TO GO HOME!
I write this with a lot of mixed emotions. I just finished my last final of my study abroad experience. A lot of my friends have been done for a while now, but I had my hardest final to date today. Don’t get me wrong – I am elated to be done with class, and…
