My experience of London…. I don’t know where to start. I got to go with a group of some of my favorite people to a beautiful country and study my favorite thing, theatre! We all got to see more than three shows, tour the National and Globe theatre, go on the London Eye, experience riding … Continue reading Spice Girls
I didn’t know quite how to commence this blog but I have to say when I began college, study abroad was not in my future so I thought. I was not ready to leave the country for the first time and venture off on my own in unknown surroundings. Concluding spring semester 2014 a woman … Continue reading Ireland: Giants Causeway
The Study Abroad program to Bonaire was incredible! I have never experienced such magnificent places. Before my trip to Bonaire, I have only ever explored the waters of the Keys. To find a good dive spot here, all you need to do is drive around and choose which yellow stone you wish to stop at. … Continue reading Bonaire Adventures!
We got to capture a Hawksbill sea turtle the first time we headed out. It was a male that had already had a tracker on it. He was feisty. His shell was beautiful.

This has been my first study abroad program and time spent out of the US and has definitely been an interesting and amazing experience. From seeing one of the seven wonders to the world (Giant’s Causeway and Slieve League) to conversing with the different groups of people and locals of Ireland, cannot explain the feeling … Continue reading Ireland: My First Study Abroad Program
As we’re making the final leg of our journey from Belfast to Dublin, I look around at all the amazing people I’ve been lucky enough to now call my friends. I don’t know if it is because we’re in a different country and we are so far out of our comfort zones, but I have … Continue reading Ireland: From One Unforgettable Journey to the Next
They do not call me late Tate for nothing. My flight was scheduled May 7, 2015 at 12:20. I thought the night before I had timed the trip perfectly to the airport from my friend’s house in Miami, boy was I so wrong. I woke up at 9:30 that lovely Thursday morning and was on … Continue reading Always be checked into your flight two hours ahead of your flight schedule!
