Coming up on about 2 months left here in this magnificent country. Though I know my heart will shatter as the time comes to leave, I will also be extremely grateful for what this experience has given to me and what I can take away from it. These past two months have been not necessarily…
Traveling out of Ireland
Before I left on my international journey, I promised myself I would travel as much as I could. While this proved to be a little more difficult than I had hoped with my class schedule, at the start of my study break two days ago, I embarked on my most exciting trip. As I write…
Traveling Europe
When I decided to study abroad, I knew that I wanted to travel outside of London a bit to experience other cultures in the U.K. and in Europe. I had hoped to find a friend or two that would like to travel with me as well so that I wouldn’t be in unknown places by…
London and The Theater
Since arriving in London, I have had the good fortune to attend the theatre several times. I have been able to sit in various level seats, visit different types of venues, and see different types of productions. The first play I saw in London was Agatha Christy’s A Mouse Trap. It is the longest running…
To Barcelona (Or Maybe Not?)

You heard me! I am currently attending four different modules and none of them gave me a midterm. I did have one…
A Day in Orvieto
Through the program I am studying abroad with, ISA, I was given the opportunity to travel to Orvieto, Italy. ISA, had organized a day trip to the small city north of Rome on October 18th. So, with a small group of study abroad students I headed out of Rome on a bus. Our destination was…
Thoughts in a Budapest bound bus
Everything has been going by so fast. However, looking back, such a short time has passed but it has been filled with so many emotions and feelings that it feels like it’s been a decade. I remember last time I wrote a post I did not feel my best. I felt like I had been…
Tips For Your Weekend Travels
I have never been a go-with-the-flow person. I love to have all of my days and actions planned out well in advance, especially when it comes to travel. However, my entire, organized world was shifted upside down when I moved to Rome this August. Each of my weekends here thus far has included a trip…
