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…

It has now been almost 2 months since I had the opportunity to travel to Uruguay. I can honestly say coming home from the trip was extremely difficult. Going into the trip I really didn’t know what to expect, I only knew a few of the students going and I certainly didn’t know any of…

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…

This year I have the opportunity to further my knowledge of sustainable agriculture in the beautiful country of Uruguay. This break is sure to be different and offer plenty…

¡Estoy muy enamorado con la cultura de Suda América! I am very interested in all things Latin: the food, the language, and the culture. It made perfect sense for me to choose Uruguay as my destination for study-abroad. My favorite trip in the whole wide world was my high school excursion to Beijing, China! It…

As we arrived in Atlanta, I immediately missed Uruguay. It was in the 40’s and raining while the week in Uruguay was sunny and 75 degrees. As I start back to classes and work these last few weeks of the semester I think about how grateful I am to have been given the opportunity to…

This trip will be my first time leaving the country (excluding the times of crossing over the border into Canada as an infant). I am not so much as nervous about the actual flight than I am about how long we are supposed to be on the flight. 9 hours. Being a detail oriented person,…
