Probably the first thing I noticed upon my arrival in Alicante was how hot it was. It was nearly 10PM, and it was as hot as the hottest days at noon back in New England. 90 to 100 and humid. Flying in All I could see were a few lights, noting to remark at; but […]
I’m Going on an Adventure.
I guess that the first thing I have to say about this whole experience is that I’m more terrified of the first day of school than I have ever been. Seriously. Exactly one week from the day of my writing this, I will travel the I will embark on a journey that will take me […]
Costa Rica Here We Come. Week One Done!
I know I’ve been a little late posting this week. So here it is! When I woke up this morning I saw a post from one of my study abroad friends, Oleg Chuchin (NJ), who has described our study abroad experience so far as: “Studying Abroad can get quite difficult. One must figure out how […]
El Primer Día En Costa Rica
After a tiring 8 hours of traveling I finally reached my new home of San Jose, Costa Rica. My favorite part about this country, so far, has got to be the mountains. The whole town is surrounded by them. My house mother, mi mamatica, is very friendly and hospitable. However, she does not speak any […]
Here We Go….
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 […]

Sea Snakes
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 […]
Twin Waterfalls of Taveuni
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 […]
The Year of Airports.
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 […]
Life after two months.
It is officially two months since my first post in Barcelona. That is such an incredibly long time for it to still feel like it was just yesterday I was lugging my bags down what was then random cobblestone streets. I don’t understand how so much time has passed. I heard time and time again […]
