Food Photo Blog: My Top Ten!

One of my favorite aspects of the semester was all the food I got to eat! It was fun to be able to find my favorite places and types of food. My favorite was definitely the baguette sandwich that I ate each day, but I had friends that would eat Kebab any chance they got! My favorite food destination was Rome. I consider pasta to be one of my core food groups, so it was safe to say that I was in heaven. While I missed American food, I loved getting to explore an entirely different culture of eating, and it was interesting to adjust to the French customs of dining.

Falling in Love with Life and Italy

I just got back from my last big weekend trip of study abroad. Here’s how it went:

 

Saturday, April 29 – Venice

We got the 04:05 u-bahn to Praterstern, then got on the 04:15 S7 to the airport. We got through security, went to our gate and got coffee. We had a short flight and arrived in Venice before 08:00. We bought tickets for the Alilaguna water taxi to the island. We were on it for about an hour (the blue line) and got off at San Marco.

My Guide to Meeting Locals

One of the greatest challenges of studying abroad is meeting locals. You’re surrounded by other exchange students, and from the beginning, you live with them, go to dinners with them, and have classes together. Exceedingly, these other exchange students are from your home country. I noticed many study abroad students make friends within their program, get comfortable and don’t seek friendships in their exchange country. During my first month in Sydney, I had a difficult time meeting people outside of the program because class was not the best way to meet people.
