Scotland

This is my first time traveling by plane AND first time traveling out of the country, so naturally, I am a little nervous. Questions started rolling through my head… how do I pack this? what all do I need? what if I run out of clean socks? BUT guess what? All those questions get answered…

I can honestly say that this experience was a trip of a lifetime. I was originally hesitant to apply because I didn’t know how I was going to afford the trip, but I decided to go ahead and apply anyway because this is something that I really wanted to pursue. I applied to many scholarships…

As I have said in my pre-trip blog post, I had never really thought studying abroad was for me, but now I think I am hooked. The adrenaline you feel traveling to such an unfamiliar place so far from home is unreal. You never really know how much is out there until you experience it…

My experience in Scotland has made me extremely excited to see the world in the future. I’ve always wanted to travel abroad, but I never really thought it was an option for me. There was always something holding me back, such as money or being afraid to travel alone or not having time to fit…

Today I noticed that the students at Troqueer Primary School are allowed to go outside by themselves without a teacher. They are also very independent when transitioning from class to class and eating in the lunch room. Children are allowed to sit wherever they want at lunch and they know when they need to leave…
