We arrived in Dumfries two days ago and today is our first day of fighting food insecurity. It’s an incredible experience how great this country is. We are putting together the last details to conduct interviews with the people involved in fighting food insecurity issues here. I am falling in love with Scotland; excellent food,…

All I have to say is wow! We have been at the UGA campus for a total of 6 days, but it feels like I have been here for at least 2 weeks. The amount of knowledge I have gained is incredible. We have been to many local coffee farms where the owners has given us a “down and dirty”…

It’s 1 am and I have 17 hours until I leave for France! Well… 17 hours until I leave to London because that is where my first stop is, but that’s besides the point. I have 17 hours until I have officially begin my journey into a foreign country, and I am a combination of…

Bonjour! I am currently sitting at my laptop browsing through websites in a frantic attempt to learn French, trying to think of anything I may have forgotten to pack and intently watching An American in Paris (one of my favorite movies) for the 10th time today trying to observe everything I can about French culture-…

I was in Beauvais, France for three months from February until May. I knew it would be cold when I arrived there, but I didn’t know just how cold! I wore my long winter jacket until the week before I left. Along with all the other challenges– language and culture included, the weather was quite…
