  • Day 19

    Travel Journal from Spain Barcelona, Spain | Sat Jan 28, 2012 | Views: 871

    Breakfast was at 9 today, and by 10:30 Gloria was gone to visit her friend. My roommates are on a trip to Valencia with their program this weekend, and almost everyone from my program went to Zarragoza this weekend, so I had both the day and the apartment to myself. The original plan was to go out and take some pictures today, but it was raining and cold, so I …

  • Pre-Departure Jitters

    Travel Journal from Australia Newcastle, Australia | Fri Jan 27, 2012 | Views: 18

    So here is it: My first ever blog post!  I'm hoping to make this blog a "vessel of reflection", recounting my experiences as I set out on a journey across the globe. You see, I have decided to embark upon a semester abroad (many thanks to my friend Andrea for convincing me that this was not an opportunity I wanted to skip).  Where, you may ask, am I going? Well, for my first extended trip …

  • Addiction

    Travel Journal from Spain Barcelona, Spain | Fri Jan 27, 2012 | Views: 44

    A few days ago I mentioned how I had begun to notice just how many people smoke here, and it got me thinking about addiction. I don't know what it's like to be addictied to nicotine, or any drug besides caffeine (thanks, college!), but it's common to be addicted to things other than that. I know what it's like to be addicted to a relationship, positive or negative, or what …

    So yesterday marked the one month from departure date and I'm getting so excited to be leaving.  Just some background info on me:  I'm 19, a student at the University of Alabama, my major is Chemical engineering, I play rugby, and I will be traveling to New Zealand.  I really am trying to go into this experience with few expectations this way I can really take in everything once I …

  • My first few days in Cusco

    Travel Journal from Peru Cusco, Peru | Sat Jan 21, 2012 | Views: 255

    I will start by saying this week has been hectic. I`ve had little sleep and just came down with a cold, and I think I may purchase some vitamins because my immune system is struggling with the change in nutrition, among other things. However, the altitude hasn't affected me much. I had a headache Thursday and Friday, but it was nothing a little ibuprofin couldn't fix. I took my Spanish placement test yesterday …
