I joined AKPsi last fall and it was one of the most life changing experiences of my life. I was able to grow, not only as a professional but as a person, and I made my first American friends through it.
The time I traveled to Queenstown, New Zealand for a long weekend and ended up hitchhiking to get around the town. Something that I will always remember and probably never get to do again!
How my desire to explore and find new spots across the river in Florence, Italy, became some of my most memorable moments and learning experiences of the local culture.
Here’s a story about my experiences with the power cut-offs known as “load-shedding” while I was in Cape Town, South Africa. I also discuss how this is representative of larger socio-economic divisions in the country.
My story is about the time that I took a day trip to Florence from Rome during my study abroad in Winter 2020. Through this trip I was able to become confident in my traveling skills and learn to not worry about every little thing.
This is the story of the time I took an independent trip to Assisi, which is famous for being the site of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. This was such an important trip for me because it was one of the favorite Italian towns of my mother and grandmother.
Ever see yourself taking a ten mile hike in the middle of an Italian beach town? Me neither, but I sure am happy I did. From outstanding paninis, to going off trail, to astonishing views, it was truly a memorable journey.
I am doing my studying abroad at Elon University. The place that I liked the most visiting along my study abroad so far is New York city on Christmas. New York was my top city to go to before I came to the United States to study. I have always seen it in movies and pictures and heard about other people’s experiences in this city, so I wanted to see it myself. But what I never thought I would do is see it on Christmas. Having that opportunity was a dream come true for me.
