If you're heading off on a study abroad program, you're probably already excited about all of the fun traveling you will be doing. Especially if you are participating in the EU program because it features a lot of travel time included in the program. However, to get there , you first have to make it to Germany and then to Freiburg. Your flight to Europe will most likely not only be your biggest trip expense but also your longest and most stressful.

Bags are packed, flights are booked, and adventure awaits!

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!

I’ve never been the kind of person who has a hard time making decisions.  I was able to make my college decision relatively scot-free.  I always have an easy time picking my classes each semester.  I love making plans for different excursions with my friends, and I’ve even known for a while now that I’d like to work in the theatre industry.  My decision to study abroad was nothing different.

Hi y'all! And welcome to my first blog post! Over the last couple of weeks, I've been spending my somewhat extended break(which was an extra study abroad perk) tackling visas, budgeting, flights, and all the minuta associated with studying abroad. However, after cracking down on all of the paperwork, I think I can comfortably say that I'm ready to fly off. It hasn't all been just grinding away though. I've also had the opportunity to visit and explore a little bit within the U.S.

Hola chicos y chicas - bienvenidos to my blog! My name is Emily and I am one of the lucky few studying in Granada, Spain for the full academic year. I fell in love with this beautiful city on a high school trip with my Spanish class, and from that moment on, I set my heart on studying abroad here with IES Abroad. 

There are so many accurate clichés I could use to express how enriching my study abroad experience was. Ladies and gentlemen, the travel brochures are right. Yes, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Yes, it was a semester I will never forget. Yes, I do feel like it has changed me as a person.

I thought that maybe this year I would be able to say new year new me and actually mean it, becoming one of those motivated people who keeps their new years resolutions for more than a day.

My name is Bo Shimmin. I am 21 years old and am a junior studying Vocal Performance at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. I live in Tucson, Arizona with my dad and sister and am currently soaking up as much sun as I can, before enduring the Italian winter... I am a virgo, a dog lover, I am addicted to spicy foods especially Hot Cheetos (which I heard are impossible to find in Europe...), I'm a huge fan of Lana Del Rey, I am half Native American/Half White, and I love travelling to new places.
