A Summer Abroad
I've made it back to the United States and am starting to reflect on my past two months in Europe. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to take this journey and learn about other cultures, while also learning a lot about myself. I also met fifteen other amazing people from across the United States. We were adapting to new cultures while also learning about each other.
Combatting Reverse Homesickness
Returning home after traveling abroad has left me with a feeling of reverse homesickness. Here's how I've dealt with the feeling of wanting to go back to my new home.
Best. Weekend. Ever. @ Amalfi Coast
A few of us decided to book a trip to the Amalfi Coast the second weekend we were in Rome. These are just a few highlight clips from our weekend, as well as some of our last nights in Rome. We stayed at a hostel in Sorrento, right on the water. On the first day of the trip, we went to Capri. We had to take a tram to get to the top of the mountain to take in the beautiful sights from the top of the mountain. We took a boat trip around the island and swam in the Blue Grotto.
A Sunset on Paris: An Interview with Me, by Me
Me, walking into a room wearing sunglasses and a sports jacket: Hey, thanks for having me here today, Jacques.
Also me, already sitting in an armchair wearing a turtleneck, with pen and notebook in hand: Of course, Jacques! You know we always love to have you on the show.
Me, sitting down in an opposite-facing armchair in front of a low burning fireplace: Always a pleasure.
Benvenuti a roma!
We have arrived in Rome! Our apartment was about a five-minute walk to Vatican city and centrally located. Our first week started off by taking a guided tour of the biggest sites in the city such as the Spanish steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi fountain. We all threw a coin into the fountain to make a wish that we would come back to Rome. We got to meet our student companion, who showed us around her city and showed us a little bit of the night life.
