Leaving Toulouse is bittersweet. I have enjoyed my time here. The trips to quaint villages near Toulouse, meeting and interacting hardworking farmers, learning about the way french agriculture is in France, as well as eating lots of amazing food make me sad to say au revouir (goodbye). France has been beautiful, and I have been…

I can’t begin to describe the feelings of watching the flight-tracker on my 9 and a half hour flight when we crossed over the Georgia state line. After a month abroad, I was ready to be home to my family, my bed, and Chick-Fil-A sweet tea. It’s been wonderful being home for a few days.…

Over the past three weeks in Toulouse, we have been on numerous field trips to local farms. I have loved having the opportunity to discuss the differences and similarities of American and French agriculture. My favorite trip that we took was to a beef farm about an hour outside of Toulouse. Growing up on a…

Since I left the United States, I have had the date June 4th stuck in my mind. That would be the day I would arrive in Atlanta, exhausted, souvenirs in hand, hopefully greeting my family. When we left in May, it felt so far away. And now that day is here. Here I am sitting…

Following our arrival into Rome, the other students and I boarded a bus to the city of Cortona. It wasn’t until we could see a city at the top of a huge hill that I had an idea of what the city looked like. As our bus maneuvered up the tight winding roads, we got closer…

Since returning home to Atlanta, GA from Romania, I’ve found it very difficult to adequately describe my experience abroad. If asked a specific question about something that I did or saw, I can go on and on, but when someone asks, “How was Romania?!” I am almost at a loss for words. I did so…

France France France, what an experience it has been! We spend most of our days at ENSAT but don’t be mistaken, we have done our fair share of exploring and visiting nearby towns in our free time. As our study abroad in Toulouse is almost over, I am very grateful to for all of the…

With just one day of class remaining, the time has come to start packing and prepare to depart from this dynamic city and program. I have to say it is with mixed emotions. Just as much as I’m going to miss Toulouse and the friends I have made through this program, I miss home and…

When your grandmother gives all the kids two pound blocks of cheese for Christmas one year, you know your family might like cheese a little (or a lot). Needless to say when I found out that one of our all day field trips in France was to visit the Roquefort cheese caves, I (and my…
