First things first, I haven’t been as sad as I thought ‘d be returning home. Honestly, it’s probably because I’ve spent the last 2 days laying in bed completing the last of my assignments and sleeping. I haven’t had much time to think about how much I miss Ecuador…but now that I’m sitting here reflecting on…

I don’t want to come home at all. So serious. Just thinking about leaving Ecuador is too much. I’ve been here for less than a month, and I’ve fallen in love. The complete disconnect from the States has been great. The people, the essence of time, the language, the culture. For adjusting back to normal…

Less than a month, actually. I still can’t believe that I signed up for a study abroad trip that goes to five countries in eighteen days. As I prepared for the Art and Gardens Grand Tour, I was honestly a little nervous. I was nervous about what to pack, because I have never travelled this…

From hiking in the beautiful rainforests to swimming in huge waterfalls, there were so many great moments on my trip to Costa Rica with Avian Biology. However, there are two moments that stick out to me the most. The first moment was in a cloud forest in a place called Monteverde which means green mountain.…

I have been very blessed in my life to visit several countries with my family and UGA study abroad programs. I have fallen in love with traveling and experiencing other cultures so the decision to go on the Costa Rica Avian Biology Trip was a no-brainer for me. This is a more physically intense and a much longer trip…
