I can’t believe it’s already here! I don’t know what to expect besides lots of pastries and even more things to see and learn. I’m excited to get to know everyone and come home with some new friends and lots of stories too 🙂

Well the day has finally come. I am headed to Toulouse, France to complete a three week study abroad program. Right now I am pretty torn. I am very excited about the trip, but I am also very sad about leaving my family when I feel like I just got home for summer. I’m not…

Because of finals, I haven’t had a chance to get excited about this trip until today. I can’t wait to be in France! I studied French in high school and fell in love with the language and culture, so I am so eager to finally experience it firsthand. My parents live in North Carolina, so…

It’s 1 am and I have 17 hours until I leave for France! Well… 17 hours until I leave to London because that is where my first stop is, but that’s besides the point. I have 17 hours until I have officially begin my journey into a foreign country, and I am a combination of…

Bonjour!

My trip technically leaves in two days, however I’m flying out in four days because I am a senior and couldn’t imagine not participating in graduation. I am beyond excited to experience this chunk of the world I’ve never been exposed to. My family is Nigerian, and I’ve been abroad to Africa so I know some of…

It’s almost time to leave and there’s still so much to do! Rather than packing I have been pouring through travel books and making lists of all the places I want to see over the course of my exchange. It’s overwhelming to look at what I’ve written down and the number of incredible places I…

I was one of the students who got to stay an extra day in Uruguay! It was so great to hang out in Montevideo and relax. Since I have been back home, I told my dad about the technology that they use to feed the calves and he was very interested! I am so glad…

This place is so pretty! So far the trip has been amazing! My dad is a dairy farmer so I was glad we got to see the dairy farms and the similarities and differences in our farm and their farms here. They had a machine to feed the calves that I had never seen before…
