Violet Sheehan ✨ : “Before heading off to Prague until December, I’ve been trying to spend as much time with my family and friends as possible. Last week, my family hosted a BBQ so everyone could come by, catch up, and send me off before this next adventure.

As much as I love the communities I’ve found away from home, Oregon will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m so grateful for the people who continue to support me, and I can’t wait to come home from Prague with new stories and memories to share. ❤️”

maya : “It’s hard to believe summer is almost over and I have to start packing soon! Before leaving for the UK, I’ve spent my time enjoying my home state of California. We took a day trip to LA and wandered around the LACMA and the Academy Awards Museum, which got me excited about all the different museums I hope to explore during my time abroad. I also made sure to get Porto’s while I’m home, which has the absolute best Cuban food. Other than trips to the beach and San Diego, I’ve been relaxing at home with my family and my dogs and getting ready for my semester abroad in Belfast!”

yngrid : “Now that summer is slowly coming to an end, I’m taking the time to reflect on my time in D.C. I’ve made some incredible memories with friends, visited New York a few times, and even had the chance to do what I love most: attend a concert! It’s been an incredible summer, and knowing I’ll have to say goodbye soon has truly allowed me to appreciate every moment!”

: “While preparing for Madrid I wanted to reflect on my last study abroad experiences and highlight some of my major tips, tricks, advice that I have developed after two prior study abroads in Colombia and Thailand. Hopefully these can help some first time study abroaders! 🌍”
