So far Rome has been unbelievable. It has definitely succeeded my expectations! It feels like I’ve been here months instead of weeks because of how much we’ve already done and seen! So far I’ve checked off the Trevi fountain, the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps and the Roman Forum off my list….
Japan: A Side 5 – 9
Huh? Five? Where did my four go? And did I even really get to nine? Everything here is backwards and I am already skipping a beat — I’ll chock it off as being usual for someone’s first week starting a new life in an unfamiliar society. Last time I talked to myself about philosophy alone in…
Old Shanghai
We arrived in Shanghai to a hotel near the bund. The morning I woke up I looked out my window to see senior ladies doing Tai-Chi in front of a Starbucks. When I saw this, I truly felt like I had arrived. We ventured into the area of Old Shanghai to explore the area. Old…
Adventure of a Lifetime
This post is a bit late but for good reason! I just got home from the greatest 10-day road trip adventure that I’ve ever had! My friends Ailin and Kelcie and I left Dunedin at 6am last Friday morning to drive up to Kaikoura for a few day hikes and to see some seal pups….
No Bad Pictures
This past week will be one that I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. I don’t think there is a better way to see New Zealand than road tripping with 9 of your closest friends, so thats exactly what I did. I had never been on a road trip like this…

First week of classes
First week of classes is done! I guess I should say half week because I only have class Monday through Wednesday here. I also love all of the classes I am taking and everyone at the school is so nice. So far, I love everything about this place. I walk around and I literally cannot…
London, I’m coming for you!
Hi everyone! In less than a week I will be starting my semester abroad in London and I could not be more excited. This will be my first time in London but not my first time studying abroad… see, I am an international student from Venezuela and I have actually studied in places like Canada and…
Spring Break in August
2 days late – but for a good cause! I just went on the coolest trip of my life. This last week was “Spring Break” (so weird because it’s cold!!) in New Zealand. 10 of my friends and I rented cars and went road tripping! We got to see SUCH cool things. I got to…
Pre-departure to Oviedo
Well the moment has finally come, and I am on my way to Oviedo. I spent my summer in Orlando and it was quite relaxing, hanging out with friends and family, but now I am ready for my semester in Spain. Though I have travelled outside the United States twice, once to New Zealand and…
