Paragliding in Switzerland
This is a story about how one of my most disappointing moments abroad turned into an even better opportunity. When Skydiving got cancelled, my friends and I were so upset, but it opened up the doors for us to go paragliding instead. We floated through the sky for at least 20 minutes, and it was one of the most incredible opportunities ever!

Death in the Royal Family – a Sojourner’s Point of View
It was April 9th. My typical day studying abroad during a pandemic looked like any other; indoors, courses taking place online, and sticking with the same five people for four months. The streets of London were empty and silent as always until the news of Prince Phillip’s death was announced.

Paragliding in Switzerland
My friends and I decided to do something we had never done before. I had never been afraid of heights but I was not one for roller coasters so I knew that this would be an interesting experience. Also, what better place to do so then over the Swiss Alps!!

While studying abroad for Winter Term 2022 in Ireland I not only learned about Irish literature, culture, and history but I learned a lot about myself. COVID definitely affected my study abroad experience but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

My study abroad experience in Italy during winter term 2022 was definitely one of the most transformational experiences of my life. After navigating many Covid-19 Related Challenges, I truly feel that I was able to engage with local culture in a way that I have never experienced before, allowing me to gain valuable perspective and an understanding of cultural differences between Italy and the United States. The trip as a whole really allowed me to have a broader perspective on the world as and pushed me out of my comfort zone in a way that I previously never though was possible. I am incredibly grateful for the experiences that I had, The friends I made, and the incredible memories and lessons that I will take with me through the rest of my adult life.
