While my career goals are not teaching oriented, nor had I ever taught before, on the CAES Youth Engagement in Agriculture Scotland study abroad trip I had the opportunity to teach students at Troqueer Primary School, Dumfries Academy, and Laurieknowe Primary School about forensics. Prior to departure for this trip, our group was assigned the…

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. Through the Spain Food Production…

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. While abroad during my Spain Food Production and the Environment…

This Maymester, I participated in the Spain: Food Production, Culture, and the Environment study. It was incredible, and I would highly recommend it! While we were there, a few major differences in culture that I had not expected stuck out to me. The first and perhaps most shocking thing to me was how carefree the…

Last May, I had a layover in Amsterdam while traveling home from two weeks abroad in Greece with CAES. I can remember flying in and seeing lucious fields of grass and tulips from above.

A nice shot from Keukenhof gardens, just outside Amsterdam in the Netherlands the day we arrived for our Flowers and Photography study abroad trip. I’m not going to lie, this day was a bit rough from around the noon mark onward, as most of us had departed Georgia in the afternoon only to arrive in…

I’ve lived in the city of Pamplona, Spain for just over a month now. I feel like I’m pretty good at doing life here now, but that wasn’t always the case. I’m gonna tell a story of how I epically failed in my first few days here. It was just a trip to the grocery…

On May 26th, my study abroad group and I traveled to Giverny, France to visit Claude Monet’s gardens and home. This was definitely my favorite part of the Flowers and Photography in Europe Maymester. Plants and art are two of my favorite things, so being able to see Monet’s gardens and home was all very…

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…

Studying abroad was something that I always wanted to do from a young age. I would see all of these movies with college students having the time of their life and making new friends in different countries. However, I learned pretty quick that college can be expensive. There’s so much that goes into college from…
