On one of our first nights here we took a walk down to the river. It was a gorgeous night out and the entire group went. While walking we could see these plaques in the road with what looked like clam shells. They were sporadic but they were all facing the same direction. Come to … Continue reading Spain – El Camino de Santiago by Tanya Shinksy
Rome is a city that holds a lot of history. Looking back at our trip to Italy, I remember our last day at the University. I have to say, I got really attached to it. We had our final lunch at the cafeteria, and we went back to the hotel to get ready for the … Continue reading Italy HS – So much history! by Stephanie Lytle
I cannot explain how quickly our time has flown by. It’s sad to think we only have one week left to embrace the culture of Salamanca, Spain, to spend with our new friends, and to complete our course. Right now is one of those moments that you wish you had a time machine. I wouldn’t … Continue reading Spain – One week left by Hannah Stephenson
This trip was absolutely amazing!!! It honestly was so much fun and life changing. From the university to walking around Rome we have all changed in some way or another. I feel we all come to think we love traveling and eating real Italian pizza. I also feel like we all came together in some … Continue reading Italy HS – I wish for everyone to experience something like this by Kaitlin Dement
Again, this experience has been so amazing and I am thankful and fully appreciative of all of this. The teachers and students have made this experience the best that it can be. After a long day of flying, the group got home. I already miss Italy but am glad to be home to see my … Continue reading Italy HS – Coming home by Corey Yeung
The Gallery of Maps The Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel were my favorite trips, by far. The museum was difficult to believe. The art in the Vatican are the pieces you read about and hear mentioned your entire life. The works are unintentionally drilled into your subconscious, living as computer screensavers and referenced in … Continue reading Italy HS – Feeling Small by Brae Elliott
I can’t believe its been a week and half already. It feels like I just got here. Salamanca is a beautiful city and people are so friendly…. for the most part 🙂 It seems like everyone is willing to help you better your Spanish, whether it’s correcting your grammar or pronunciation. Whether it’s hanging out in the … Continue reading Spain – Time flies! by Arianne Pantin
So far this has been a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to everyone considering visiting Spain. Not only do you get to try a variety of foods but you get a real feel for the Spanish lifestyle while meeting interesting people in the process. There are also countless pictures to take of all … Continue reading Spain – I would recommend it to everyone by Kristopher Santa Lucia Santa Lucia
Our final day in Rome covered all the areas in which our trip had been lacking. It was slow-paced, provided us with some time to explore on our own, and was completely relaxing after a whole week of sprinting around from tour site to tour site. We slept in, had breakfast, and enjoyed an easy … Continue reading Italy HS – I had an inexplicable feeling of connectedness with Rome by Karissa Barrera
What a relaxing day! We spent the day at the park and went to one of the tour guides hometown. At the park, I had a great time rowing boats (obviously needing practice) and walking around the park. I also got to do some more shopping near the hotel, getting some nifty shirts and souvenirs. … Continue reading Italy HS – I am appreciative and thankful for this trip by Corey Yeung
