On Wednesday morning, we went to the Granada coast and toured a local farm where we sampled the farmer’s fresh fruit. During the afternoon, we traveled to the coastal town Salobreña.

Before going to Spain, I had heard about the amazing fruit from multiple people. They went on and on about how it is one of the top foods I need to try while studying abroad. However, I had never realized that fruit could be this amazing and tasteful. Luckily for me, our study abroad planned…

I am, by definition, an introvert. I would rather be by myself than with a group of people any day of the week. In high school, I had my set group of friends, but spent most of my time studying, alone. When I decided to attend UGA, my mother thought it would be a great…

Nestled in a valley approximately a mile from the coast of southern Spain sits a produce farm where you can find the best fruit you will ever eat. As we traveled up the winding road to the farm, my study abroad group talked about our excitement to try the fresh mango, bananas and avocados. Spanish…

Spain was a major culture shock from the first time I set foot on the foreign soil. One of the first things that I noticed when we arrived to Spain was the insane amount of olive trees that covered the landscape from the airport to Granada. It went on for miles and miles and miles,…

Over the course of three weeks, I travelled to Italy, France, and all around the United Kingdom. And I loved all of the places I got to visit. Each city and country had so many things that were unique and amazing. But, overwhelmingly, my favorite place I visited was Edinburgh, Scotland. First thing in the…
