T-Minus 3 days until I board a plane to Uruguay…a place that speaks a different language, eats different food, and where its citizens wardrode isn’t mostly jeans, t-shirts and cowboy boots. That can be a little nerve racking, especially for a girl from a small town in Southeast Georgia. I remember coming to UGA and…

As we get closer and closer to the take off date, I have started to feel a bit of apprehension. In just two days, I will be travelling across the world for the first time, and truly making a difference. I am about to interact with another culture, and immersing myself. It is a bit…

Agriculture looks different in each region of the world. I learned this after attending Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in South Georgia before coming to UGA in North Georgia. I can’t wait to see what agricultural practices Uruguay has! I’m brushing up on my Spanish and packing my barn boots as I prepare to dive into…

So, tomorrow I make my very first trip out of my home country in my life. Growing up in rural South Georgia, I remember being excited just to travel across the state line! During my time as an undergraduate at the University of Georgia, I heard about the trips that my friends made to other countries and…

Tomorrow I leave for Uruguay. Going out of the country can be intimidating, especially for someone who, like myself, has rarely been out of the tri state area let alone the country. Tomorrow marks my first flight. Obviously it goes without saying that I am nervous about the departure and the trip. I like to…

Preparing to leave my home country for a study abroad trip demands much preparation and hard work. However, the opportunity to travel abroad is really exciting and will be well worthy of the needed preparation. The building anticipation and preparation has made the prospect of the approaching study abroad opportunity all the more exciting.

Four more days until I, along with 18 other people, board a plane for Costa Rica. To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I’ve been wanting to study abroad on this coffee trip for two years now. I can’t believe the trip is finally here! Along with excitement, I’m mostly just stressed. Choosing to…

Whether you were on a study abroad program, internship or volunteering abroad, we’re thrilled that you took advantage of the opportunity to grow both…

It’s been about a month since I’ve arrived back in my hometown from Ireland, the last country on our tour. However, I still find myself thinking daily about the time I spent there, and not because I’ve been working on a big journal assignment ever since either. When I go to the park to run, when…

The Cortona 2015 Viticulture and Enology Study Abroad program ended on June 2nd. Time in Cortona flew very fast. I wanted to stay one more week to taste more wines and visit more wineries. I think I will miss everything I have done in Cortona. I will miss the sensory labs, eating delicious sandwiches in…
