Callie : “One of the many fun things that my program did was take us to the Warwick Market in Durban. This market consists of countless stalls selling anything from clothes, food and medicine, to haircuts and IT services. It was a great place to buy souvenirs and try some of the local food!”

: “A few photos of the lovely people and places I got to know in Granada

.shea : “Trekking through Sapa, Vietnam was an amazing experience! Learning about their local traditions and villages which differ significantly from the rest of Vietnam was so interesting. Moreover, a home cooked meal with her family was so much fun!”

: “I’ve always documented my life through a film camera. However, the film camera I was using at the beginning of the semester broke very soon into it. Only recently did I take the time to acquire a new one. While film can be tedious and test my patience, there’s something so special about receiving the surprise that is your developed roll, a little bit after the trip/documented event has ended! Here are some quick snapshots from my trip to Budapest, Vienna, Prague. I totally recommend you acquire a cheap digital camera or point and shoot film camera for any and all adventures you take!”

.n.desta : “The last few weeks of my time in Seville were very bittersweet. While I was excited to spend time with some relatives and eventually make my way back home, I found myself getting a bit comfortable in Spain. I had gotten accustomed to the slower lifestyle, the beautiful weather, and the life I had built for myself. After my trip to Rome and Paris I had participated in La Féria, a holiday celebrated only in Seville. After that, classes started to wrap up and we all spent a lot of time together outside of the classroom to reminisce. Currently I am in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK to spend time with family. While my time in Seville is over for now, something tells me I’ll be back someday”

: “For my last trip in Ireland, I decided to head out to the same place i went for my first one, Howth! I took a boat tour around Ireland’s Eye in hopes to see some of the famous puffins. Unfortunately, the day we went it was extremely windy and we couldn’t sail around to see them, but the views were still amazing from the water! 🇮🇪”
