It’s hard to believe that my journey to study abroad is ending, and that in a few days, I’m actually going to be hopping on a plane to Costa Rica. I’m totally in denial. Hanging around in the on-campus apartment that I will be the R.A for next semester, I still think that I’m going […]

Hello everyone, Let me start off this blog with a little about myself. My name is Tiffani, but everyone knows me as Rose, and I am twenty years of age. I am a first generation college student at Salve Regina University studying in my junior year; I have a double major in Art History and […]

According to the guidebooks it is fairly uncommon to see the highly venomous black and white banded sea snake (look up the snake on google images…) in Fiji. I say that is a bunch of @^#&&%$!. In two months I have seen three, each time the snake has gotten closer to me before I even […]

For mid semester break I found myself on the island of Taveuni. Taveuni, known as the “Garden Island” is the fourth biggest island in Fiji. The island has no towns (at least in the sense of the towns that we know in America). The vast majority of the island’s 12,000 inhabitants live in traditional Fijian […]

I have a very unique opportunity studying abroad in Europe because it is so easy to travel from place to place. I can go from Barcelona to a number of other equally unique cities in Spain, as well as all of the nearby countries. I have wanted to explore the world for as long as […]

In other words, the “do not tell my mother list” 1. Probably the most touristy thing I have done since coming to Fiji. We traveled up a river on a small, leaky wooden boat with a 25 horsepower engine and visited a village. We continued up the river to a path, which led to a […]

I’m sure you have all seen the shirts that say,”I left my heart in (insert town here)”. They’re funny, but I never thought I would buy one – until this weekend that is. However, mine would need some alterations, to say, “I left my [bus] in [Quepos]”. After staying in San Jose for an entire […]

If the Beatles were around today and looking for a place to shoot the infamous cover  for their album, “Abbey Road” – San Jose, Costa Rica would not be the place to do so. Lets just say we would have four squished beetles on the road. Throughout  most of Costa Rica, but especially in the […]

Bonjour! I have been living is Paris for two months, and let me tell you, it has been absolutely amazing. I am studying abroad with CEA and I decided to take part in the Early Start program, which meant I came here two weeks before the normal program started. I am so happy I decided […]
