So much has happened since I last posted. Its been such a wonderful past couple of weeks with a lot of eventful things happening. I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite bands, 5 Seconds of Summer, in concert in Dublin for free with the absolute best seats in the world thanks to…
I’m Never Leaving
This past weekend I traveled to Mount Cook where I hiked the Hooker Valley Track and visited Lake Pukaki and Lake Tekapo. It was one of the best weekends of my life. I have never been so in love with New Zealand as I am now. When I woke up on Saturday, I woke up…
Takarazuka
During Golden Week, I had an opportunity to go see a Takarazuka show. I had heard that the shows were a lot of fun, so I thought that I would take the opportunity to see a show while I was here. It’s also interesting to note that all of the roles are played by women. These…
End of the Semester Blues
As my classes here in Greece finally come to a close, I am looking ahead to finals and wondering where the semester went. Although everyone told me that my study abroad semester would fly by, I didn’t expect it to in a blink of an eye. I sit here and recap all of the amazing…
Dorm Life In Kansai Gaidai
There are many things I want to talk about the dorm life in Kansai Gaidai, especially the Seminar House II which is where I lived. There are a lot of rules regarding things from bringing guests to cooking to cleanliness. Students on the dorm sleep on a tatami mat which is basically a futton on…
Recollection of the first week in Japan
On January 19 I left Nepal and was on my way to Japan for a semester abroad. It was nice to catch up with family in Nepal after almost two and a half years of being in the States for my education. With mixed feelings in my heart, I had to leave. On the night…
Home from Rome
It’s hard to believe, but my three months in Rome are finally up. The last week of school went by so fast. It didn’t help that I spent it studying and taking exams (which were ten times harder than the exams at Rollins). On my last day I was frantically trying to pack my bags…
Galicia con ESN
I believe this was my first trip with ESN Oviedo. There was nonstop rain in Santiago de Compostela (didn’t know it was the rainiest city in Spain). We started straight away with our city tour at the Cathedral of Santiago. This is THE CATHEDRAL of the famous pilgrimage of Camino de Santiago (also known as St.James,…
Italia Part 2
If you plan to study abroad in Italy I am pretty sure you will have the time of your life. I only had about 10 days and couldn’t get enough. We found friendly people everywhere who weren’t judging my attempts at speaking Italian before they attempted to help out. We were also rightly recommended to…
Semana Santa en Italia
I forgot to mention so far that I spent my Spring Break in Italy. I mean really does life get better than this. We flew into Milan and the adventures literally began the moment we stepped onto the plane. I met another American student abroad who had taken some Italian and…
