When people think of Spain they think of things like tapas and sangria. Much like it is in America, tourists may not think about where the Iberian ham in their tapas came from, or the pride and care put into growing the fruits and vegetables that are in their meals.

When traveling to Spain, Spanish food is probably one of the things most people look forward to. From extra virgin olive oil produced just miles from Granada, and fresh seafood coming in from the coast, the quality and pride surrounding Spanish food is no joke.

I knew that I would want to study abroad at least once during my time here at UGA because of the amazing opportunities it would unlock for me. Not only would I be able to travel to a place I had never been before to learn at a place other than UGA (no hate, we’re…

I am writing this one after returning to the US and have had some time to reflect on my time abroad, and let me say I will remember this trip for the rest of my life. I had written in my previous post about my time in the Netherlands, and after that the remainder of…

The Rijksmuseum was a very enlightening experience for me that really kickstarted my excitement for the entire trip. I normally do not possess much interest in the exhibits that are found in museums. However, the Rijksmuseum was like no other museum I have ever seen. The age of some of the items on display is…

They always say there is a first time for everything, and this trip was definitely full of firsts for me! Although I was not nervous in the days leading up to the trip, when I woke up the day we were supposed to leave the United States, the nerves started to rush over me. I…
