The trip home was an adventure in and of itself. The plane that was supposed to take us back to Atlanta from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, had to leave Atlanta first. Unfortunately, there were terrible storms in Atlanta, which caused it to be delayed. Consequently, this caused our flight to be delayed leaving Quito.…

I can honestly say that this experience was a trip of a lifetime. I was originally hesitant to apply because I didn’t know how I was going to afford the trip, but I decided to go ahead and apply anyway because this is something that I really wanted to pursue. I applied to many scholarships…

My most favorite part of the entire trip was the visit to the Galapagos Islands. This was what I had been waiting for throughout the entire trip, honestly, because I had always dreamed of visiting, since I was a child. We flew into San Cristobal, where we stayed in a hotel with a beautiful view…

As I sit here in the international terminal of the Atlanta airport typing my last blog entry, I can’t look back without realizing how blessed and grateful I am for the opportunity of a lifetime. Without the gracious support of my scholarship donor, the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and my faculty professors, none…

I can remember, like it was yesterday, my first college tour of UGA. They gave me several really interesting brochures of all the available options offered to CAES students for study abroad trips. Little did I know that three years later I would be given the opportunity to take advantage of this and immerse myself…
