Coming home early from my study abroad in Japan was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever had to do. In the short time I was there I met really amazing people that I was looking forward to becoming friends with. While some of those friendships will stay, there are so many I…
Hasta Pronto, Buenos Aires.
There’s not much I can say without simply echoing the sentiments of my fellow students. When I was preparing to depart for the program I wrote about the grand mix of emotions I was feeling. And now that I’ve had to leave, there’s another unique that I’m sure we can all relate to. Perhaps what…
On Leaving My New Home and Family
On February 29th, 2020, I woke up in my Airbnb alone in Naples. I had arrived yesterday and had seen quite a lot of the city before returning to my accommodations in the heart of the Historic District. It was my first real solo trip. I’ve been traveling alone to New York and Washington DC…
One last ciao!
It’s crazy how life can change so much in such a short period of time. I got to Rome, and my life changed so quickly. Then because of a quick change, I had to leave. Everything that I lived in Italy I know that I will carry forever in my heart and memories. I am…
Ciao ciao
Ah yes, the time has come for the final blog post. Unfortunately, it’s come much sooner than we all expected due to COVID-19. Still, my time abroad has added value to my life, and I’m thankful for the time I had. Reading back on my original post, I realize some things were as I expected,…

Final Blog Post
This semester was definitely full of high highs and low lows. As we all know, the semester was cut very short due to Covid-19. I feel very fortunate that CAPA London began in early January so I was able to get in much more time abroad than friends from other programs with later start dates….
Final Blog Post
The day I found out the program was cancelled, I wasn’t even in Italy. My friend and I would travel every weekend to experience the most we can. At the time we were in London having the time of our lives. It was so crazy because we were talking over dinner about how if the…
Back to the U.S.
I can not help to feel frustrated with the crisis the world is facing right now. My semester was cut too short and we are all close to helpless in trying to rectify the situation. In my first post, I wrote about how I found that I did not have enough time to say goodbye…
Goodbye for now, London
Leaving London felt like I was leaving a second home, I truly felt like I became a Londoner within such a short time. I was going to work four days a week and taking three long classes and now I’m doing it all from home. It’s bittersweet to be back, I definitely missed the warmer…
