It’s been almost three months now that I’ve been living in Seville and it’s crazy to think that I’m a little over halfway done with my time abroad! Before leaving for Spain I was told that I would experience culture shock. *Just some quick background info for you: I am a first-generation Brazilian-American, meaning I […]

Hi guys! As Study abroad in Europe approaches and begins, at the top of most students minds is “I’m going to visit as many countries as I can”. This is not a bad goal -We all must take advantage of each day we have. I especially thought I would go to a lot of countries […]

Hola chicos, It is that time to write again and while I was sitting and thinking about what to write, I was also trying to think of what other trips I needed to plan before my return back to Stonington.

Across the country everyone is currently celebrating Semana Santa, also known as Holy Week. Lucky for me, Sevilla is well known for Semana Santa, (and Feria–but I’ll touch on that in another post).

          Before I came abroad, I went out of my way to talk to everyone that I possibly could that had studied abroad. I wanted to get every piece of advice so I could really make sure I made this the best four months of my life. I found that every […]

Studying abroad has been such an amazing experience. I am almost two months in, and I feel at home here. The days keep flying by. Limerick and Ireland are gorgeous, but one of the perks about living here is that traveling to other countries is so inexpensive compared to the states. I went to London […]
