Dear FutureMe, Can you believe you’re at the halfway point of your trip?? I’m writing this to you to see how much has changed. At this point, all I have are some expectations of how Buenos Aires is, you on the other hand have been there for about 2 months! I expect that you have…
Amalfi Coast
Last weekend I went to the Amalfi coast, which was one of the places I wanted to go to the most when studying abroad. It was so exciting. We went to Capri, ,Positano, and Pompeii. My roommates and I decided to travel through Bus2Alps so that we did not have to plan every little detail…
Wandering with a Purpose
19 September 2016 Today marks my 27th day in Bremen. Between the last two weeks I have visited three new cities: Osnabrück, Hanover and Paris, France. I have walked, ran and jogged across stretches of streets enriched with culture and history. With over hundreds of miles under my belt, I could not be more grateful…
First Two Weeks in Oviedo, Spain
The first two weeks in Oviedo, Spain, has been great. The first night in Spain, I stayed in Madrid where we meet up with a friend who toured us around. We went on a boat ride, explored the city, and obviously tried tapas. That morning we left for Oviedo where we met up with the…
Oviedo, Spain, Study Abroad

RIP ISP (BTW, MHRA? OMG WTF?!)
So, I made it to Lancaster University, suitcase somehow in hand. I waited a mere ten minutes at the baggage carousel in the Manchester Airport before my blue-tagged, purple bag came down the shoot, and I felt an instant sense of relief. That relief somehow stayed with me as I caught a train to the Lancaster…
Week 2
I have officially been in Spain for 15 days, which coincidentally enough is the same amount of time that my host mom said it would take me to understand her completely. While I don’t think I’m exactly there yet, I feel like I’m getting better everyday and I understand almost everything she says now. Last…
WOW, TIME FLIES!
Today officially marks my first week here and it has been quite a journey. I find myself saying “what is Jordan?” about 89% of the time because this place can be quite confusing. I am in the Middle East, I recognize that. It is kind of hard not to, honestly. I look, speak, act and…
Shanghai, Xi’an, and Wuxi
First month down in China! Phew, I can certainly say it has been quite interesting so far. My trip began with a fellow Rollins classmate, Jonathan, when we flew four days early to China to try to adjust to the jet lag sooner. During that time, we visited an underground market in a subway station…
