The top item on my list of things to see in Scotland was a Scottish Highlander, since they are one of my favorite cows. Marlyn and I were able to see a few from the window on the train ride to Scotland, and I was super excited about that- probably too excited. We were able…

We landed in London around 7:00 a.m. We got to see the sunrise as we got off the plane and onto a bus that took us into the airport. We took the underground to the hotel to freshen up after being on the plane for eight hours. After we took our stuff to our rooms…

What is flying like? What should I pack? Should I pack two jackets or five? Where is my passport? Should I wear my UGA shirt to the airport? These are all questions I asked myself at least once before heading to the airport to leave for London. Before this trip, I had not left the…

Goodbye America… Those are the two words I never thought I would say less than 365 days ago. It seems like just yesterday I was a classic case of the student who really wanted to study abroad, but did not think they had the means to do so. But yet, with the help of…

The experience of being able to teach elementary school kids in enough counties was like nothing else. All 15 of the UGA students were divided in groups and each group was given a topic that they were to teach to the students. My group had the opportunity to teach sound which turned out to be…

So, besides going to the primary school and teaching the children, this was probably my favorite day of the trip. On Monday, not everything went as planned with the school due to the virus (they just needed to sign some new paperwork) but we made the best of it and visited a castle and we…

I decided to go on this trip mainly since it was youth engagement in agriculture, and I am an agricultural education major. I also am friends with someone that went last year and it seemed like a really cool experience. When it was time to apply for the trip, I had just transferred to UGA…
