Holiday Availability: All IES Abroad offices will be closed on Dec 24, Dec 25, Dec 31, and Jan 1 as we take some time to celebrate. During the weeks of 12/22 and 12/29, our team will be smaller, so responses may take longer than usual. Thanks for your understanding—and happy holidays!

Sifting Through Moments and Dreams
Hello~! Hola~!こにちは~!I know it's been a while, but it took me some time to get my footing down, but now that I have, I can retell the many stories I have accrued while not exactly going to too many of the big name places just yet.
Weekend Trip Essentials
As a forgetful yet anxious packer, these are some essentials I bring on weekend trips:
1. Passport
Remember that your US driver's license means nothing to Italian law enforcement officers, so bring your passport with you everywhere. You could be stopped and questioned for identification at any time when traveling, so keep it with you at all times. I’d also suggest getting a passport holder. I bought one on Amazon to keep my credit cards, cash, passport, and an AirTag all together while traveling.
Jeonju Trip!
As part of the IES Seoul Program, we did an overnight trip to Jeonju, a Hanok village in the Southwestern part of South Korea (a hanok village is a traditional Korean-style building). When we first got to Jeonju, we started off by getting lunch. The speciality food in Jeonju is bibimbap because it’s an agricultural area where a lot of vegetables and rice are grown. The meal was absolutely delicious! Then, we dressed up in hanbok, which is traditional Korean dress.
