Just over three weeks ago I departed good ole GA and headed to Europe for the very first time. My trip began in Dublin, Ireland a day early but then it truly started once I arrived in Rome to meet up with Dr. Smalley, Dr. van Iersel, and the rest of the group. We immediately…

On this trip, we get the privilege to travel to all sorts of vineyards, which seems like a dream come true. It doesn’t even feel like school to me, but La Baresco Estate in particular absolutely blew my mind. I felt like royalty from the second we arrived and were greeted with sparkling wine, all…

With one week down and a little over half of one to go, my heart is so happy. We spent most of this week in Athens, Greece and it has been nothing short of amazing. The food, the lectures, the tours and everything in between have all combined to help me begin to immerse myself…

I can’t believe the time has come for me to pack my bags, and tomorrow, I leave for an unforgettable experience in the country of Uruguay. I will be completing an internship in Montevideo, Uruguay for 10 weeks and I’m feeling many emotions. I’m excited to learn about the culture and the people of Uruguay,…

The time is finally here! I leave for France tomorrow! Between finals and wrapping up spring semester this trip kind of snuck up on me. Words cannot describe how excited I am for this trip. I am mostly interested in seeing the different forms of agriculture that this trip has to offer. Ever since I began…

Today marks T-1 day until my flight leaves for Italy, and I am both excited and anxious about the journey that lies ahead of me! Traveling to new countries can also be nerve-racking, especially when you know very little of the native language that they speak. Having never taken Italian in my life, this fear…

In two short days, I will be boarding my plane to France. I have spent numerous hours since October planning for this journey but hoped for the opportunity to study abroad for years. I cannot imagine the adventures I will encounter over the next few weeks that will not only benefit my own personal growth…
