It’s hard to believe the life I’ve had these past three months. Even though I’m a day removed and back across the Atlantic Ocean, everything seems so surreal, as if I’ve been describing a dream. The details seem so vivid now but I know they will eventually fade into memories, emotions, and sights melding together [...]
How strange it is to be back in the English-speaking world! The past five weeks on the continent have been a whirlwind of fun. I’ve experienced so much new life in different languages, meals, and sights! We have such little time left abroad and I cannot help but feel that I am ready to [...]
I don’t know what to share about Belgium, mainly because we spent a grand total of two days in this small country. It goes to show how little time we spent that our group leader didn’t even tell us what language to get used to – lucky for us, they all speak English just as [...]
Guten Tag from Germany! The weather is a sight colder than in Italy but now it feels like Autumn and the prospect of some relaxation was a welcome treat.

Time is flying by too quickly, and I rarely am given these spare moments to write about my travels. I am now in Italy and it is probably becoming of my favorite places we’ve visited so far. There is so many new things to see (and eat!) here and, since this is my school semester [...]
I don’t have very much time to give an update, since I need to be packing for my next venture to Italy, but I thought I needed to share a bit about Beaune, France. After leaving the busy metropolis that is Paris, we drove off for the French countryside and have spent a few lazy [...]
Bonjour from Paris! I am sorry for the delay in posting this, but I have been so busy the past few days running all around the city that I’ve been far too exhausted to do anything but my required journal entries. Luckily I’ve been snapping lots of photos to share here. Coming to [...]
All good things must come to an end, and today marks my last day of living in Oxford. I cannot believe I have been here for six weeks; it is the ultimate paradox of time, for it feels like I just got here yesterday and at the same time feels like I have been [...]
