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…

The most exciting aspect of the trip was learning about the actual daily living experience in Uruguay and not just visiting tourist sites. I did not know what to expect from Uruguay. From the owners of the farms to the street vendors and waiters, everyone we met was kind, accepting and passionate about their community…

While planning my travels, I was a mixture of emotions. I had concerns about what I needed to pack, about what I needed to wear, and about how covid-19 might affect our trip. However, no matter the concern, I had an enormous amount of excitement for the experiences I was about to have. The most…

Well, when people told me it was easy to travel around Europe once you’re there, I had no idea how easy it actually would be! Just a couple of weeks into my exchange, a few of my friends said that they were thinking of taking a weekend trip to Berlin, so I decided to join…

I have to admit, I’m a little sad writing this post. This was the last trip I was able to take during my exchange, and it was the last time I will see many of these friends for a very long time. But first, I’ll tell you how wonderful the trip itself actually was! Since…

Wow, talk about ups and downs! I wanted to take some time to reflect upon the first few weeks of my exchange program in Zürich, Switzerland, because so much has happened already! After my first day of arrival and subsequent jet lag (yes, it is very real) I had dinner with the other UGA students…

From the moment I was accepted to the University of Georgia four years ago, I had always dreamt of studying abroad. In my mind, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, something every college student should participate in, and a coming of age experience. It was finally during my junior year that I decided…

One thing that perplexed me on this trip to Uruguay was the fact that the government had placed “zone restrictions” on this one farmers land. When I think of zoning restrictions in the United States or in Georgia, I think of the zones that state if it is for agricultural purposes, residential purposes, if you…

If you know anything about me, you probably know that I’m a big planner. All of my lesson plans, school calendars, homework assignments, and even journals are color-coded and well organized. So today we found out that we aren’t able to see the school before we teach, so walking into this place tomorrow makes me…
