Believe it or not, March 28th is technically the last day of my program. I know, weird. But, as I’ve mentioned before, SIT programs are laid out a bit differently from a normal semester in college. The first week once you arrive in the country is reserved for orientation and getting to know the city …

Granada, City of Views
Before coming to Granada, Spain, I knew very little about the city. I knew that Granada was located in the mountains, as well as the beautiful Alhambra, but it did not hit me how mountainous the city actually was until I arrived. The city is filled with 360 panoramas. Every time I think I see …
Staying Local: Exploring La Coeur de Riviera
Before coming abroad, I intended to travel to as many different countries as possible because it’s so easy. Every weekend I planned out ideas of where I wanted to go and I didn’t intend to stay in Nice much on the weekends. However, after living here for almost 3 months, I’ve realized that I actually …

A day in my life
Contrary to popular belief, I hate to report that every day while abroad is not a crazy adventure.

My program plans two activities each week for us to take advantage of if we choose to do so. These activities range from active adventures to casual events. For this …
“I actually really like geopolitics”
If you’ve read my other blog posts you would know that I’m known for writing these at the most inopportune times. Currently, I’m sitting in a 2.5 hour lecture on Swiss culture and politics. But, seriously, name one person who can sit through that long of a lecture and concentrate the whole time? It’s for …
Life on the French Riviera
I can’t believe it’s already been a month since I arrived here on the French Riviera. It’s crazy how fast time flies! Needless to say, this last month has been nothing short of a dream. Sometimes I can’t even believe that this is my life. While I love being able to easily travel to other …
Passing Time!
These past couple of weeks have been full of lots of passing time. You are probably thinking “Duh time always passes.” but what I mean is not every moment is super exciting and social media worthy if you will. Lots of my time is spent just passing mundane moments. (Don’t get me wrong it is …
