During my second free weekend in France a few of my friends and I had decided that we wanted to do a short day trip. We researched cities near Toulouse and we found many cities that interested us with amazing views and fun things to do. However, there was one place that stuck out to…

I was scared, nervous, anxious, and any other possible synonyms you could think of. I had to travel across the globe by myself, and I only ever flew on a airplane ONCE in my life which was two years ago, so I barely remembered the process we had to go through within the airport. I…

I am officially back at home. What an adventure I encountered while in Toulouse, France. I did not limit myself to just Toulouse either on the weekends, I visited Nice, France on the Mediterranian Sea along with London. I took NINE planes over the course of the 3 weeks. What I would give to do…

My arrival in France was overwhelming. I had a slight case of culture shock. It seemed like everywhere I turned there was something new, but in reality, it was all the same. The hustle and bustle all begin quickly upon arrival. We attempted not to catch jetlag meaning we did everything in our power to…

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.

Let me start this by officially introducing myself; my name is Ashley Sorrow. I am a rising junior at UGA majoring in…

I decided when buying my plane ticket for my study abroad to extend my stay in Europe. I figured if I was going to be paying to fly to Europe I might as well get the most out of my ticket. I could not imagine however, that the class I took would propel me into…

Just over three weeks ago I departed good ole GA and headed to Europe for the very first time. My trip began in Dublin, Ireland a day early but then it truly started once I arrived in Rome to meet up with Dr. Smalley, Dr. van Iersel, and the rest of the group. We immediately…
