From the various study abroad programs UGA offers, it can become overwhelming to decide which one to choose, what year to do it, and how to secure your position in it.

Ever since I was a little kid I have been a particularly picky-eater. I am a big supporter of not trying to fix something that’s not broken, so if I know I like it I get it! I understand when people say, “its adventurous to try new things.” Nevertheless, I don’t usually like something. I…

I have always been inspired by those individuals, and I have learned to value and embody the morals that they fought for. Naturally, I drifted towards a military career, and now I will…

The beginning of the best day of the trip started with the bus pulling into El Pariso with horses being saddled. I was excited to see Jose’s breeding program and just what kind of horses they had because I have grown up with horses. I’ve never seen any criollos before, so I was interested to…

From the beginning of any discussion of the trip, we were told, “You need to start eating more beef to make sure your stomach is fine on the trip.” Well, I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me a tad bit nervous. Many questions filled my head making me wonder what the food…

What a wonderful adventure I had in Spain. Lots of delicious food: paella, patatas bravas, seafood and lots of tapas. Lots of cultural experiences: a beautiful Flamenco show and a bull fight. The environment and agriculture: Goat farm, dairy farm, poultry plant, olive oil facility, wine tasting. Nothing better than spending two weeks in Spain…
