Before this trip I considered wine an interest; now I consider it a passion. Something about the unique science behind wine, the way it’s grown from fruit and transformed into alcohol, captivates me. I’m in love with the multi-culturality and history of wine-the way it brings people from all generations and all different countries together.…

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 Braccesca Estate in particular absolutely blew my mind. I felt like royalty from the second we arrived and were greeted with sparkling wine, all…

As I zipped my suitcase shut, it finally hit me: I am going to Greece! It is so unreal that I am going to be able to walk the historic streets of three amazing cities over the next couple of weeks. The professors have an amazing study abroad planned for us and I absolutely cannot…

Getting my ducks in a row before I leave for France has been more work than I expected! I’ve got one word for anyone wanting to study abroad: money! Get it in order, now. This has two components: funding the trip, and international monetary accessibility. Studying abroad can be expensive, no doubt, but it doesn’t have…

It is days before my departure and I can only help, but feel like how I did freshman year when I was packing my bags to leave my hometown for Athens. I feel like I am somehow over-packing, but also not packing enough and mixed with emotions of joy, excitement, anxiety, and the unknown. I…
