I never thought much about being a teacher or what it takes to be a teacher, that is until I got to become one for the Youth in Agriculture Study Abroad in Scotland. After this experience, I have gained a whole new appreciation towards educators and what it takes to become one. Going into this…

Picture this, a rugged landscape, medieval castles, crystal clear waterfalls, and outstanding scenery! It is a place I had only ever seen in TV shows, movies, and pictures, one where I never thought I would get to experience in person.

My study abroad experience was as an Exchange student at a university where I lived in a large flat with lots of other international students. These people very quickly exposed me to dozens of other cultures and practices. They showed me how they make dishes from their home countries and I learned all about places…

During my exchange there were many times that I would make plans ahead of time with friends and go on hikes or go skiing for the weekend (which were great trips, don’t get me wrong), but I can honestly say that some of my favorite memories from the entire semester are from times that I…

Pre-departure was one of the hardest parts of the study abroad experience for me at least until I realized I was worried about nothing. My biggest concern was flying that far away by myself as I was not on the main flight that most of the UGA students were on. I had only been on…
