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 am ready to board the plane tomorrow morning. I am in a unique situation. Since I am an international student, I have technically been studying abroad for the last three years.

After three months in Europe I finally made it back home. I had an internship in Spain after my study abroad in Italy where I was able to continue my summer of learning about wine and wine grapes. It was an amazing experience but coming home has been the best part of my summer. Adjusting…

I spent three months in Europe this summer. During the month of May I was on the Grand Tour, a study abroad experience focused on the gardens and art of Europe. During June and July I backpacked around Europe with another UGA student. I think it’s really easy to romanticize travel, and oftentimes we create…
