I imagined every aspect of this trip being overwhelming, but instead…it’s been over the top rewarding; the places, the people, and the experience. We’ve been able to walk down some of the country’s oldest streets, experience homemade bread at every meal, and talk with some of the most passionate cattle farmers. I look around me…

When I got off the plane in Atlanta, it still hadn’t quite hit me that my time studying in Uruguay had come to an end. Although only a week, this program had an impact that will stay with me forever, and I will always look back upon it with the best memories. The first week…

Whew! What a long day. We spent the day taking a bus tour of the Highlands of Scotland. My favorite part of today was taking a boat tour of Loch Ness. During my childhood, my mother (who is Irish) used to tell us and sing about different folk tales of Scotland and Ireland. I spent…

A mixture of anxiety and excitement overwhelm me, but mostly excitement. Will I forget to pack something? What if I lose my passport? Am I going to make any friends? These thoughts whirl around my head, but they are immediately overcome with eagerness. This is my first time ever going to South America, and I…

As I am sitting here reflecting on the trip to Scotland, all I can think about is how blessed I am to be a student at The University of Georgia. More importantly, blessed to be a student in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The opportunities afforded to the students in our college are…

What an awesome 10 days. From sight-seeing, getting to know the others on the trip, to teaching primary children at Troqueer Primary School. I have definitely grown as a person by being opened to this slightly new culture. I also have a new appreciation for God’s creations and how different the world is from Georgia.…

I was stressed for no reason. This place is beautiful! The 8hr flight was really not that bad and London is fantastic. I have been very exhausted, but the lack of sleep is totally worth it. The trains have been my favorite part so far. They ensure me that I am not in the U.S.…

I have never left the country before so naturally, I am terrified. What can I take on the plane? What all will I need? What is the temperature like? Will I like the food? Will I get sick? Those are only a small fraction of the questions that are running through my mind. I know…

I am now settled back in GA, and beginning classes after my adventures in Uruguay. I must say being back in GA feels extremely different. Uruguay was absolutely amazing and beautiful. I definitely recommend this trip, as I learned a lot and met some great people. The week was full of new and exciting adventures…

I have been waiting for this trip for months! I didn’t really have anything in my mind what I was getting into since I have never been to another country. But, so far I have been very impressed from an agricultural view. We have seen some awesome operations and learned so much from management practices…
