By: Abby Stanley Tuesday we took our last group excursion here in Spain. We took a ferry boat to Puerto de Santa Maria, where we toured the castle that Christopher Columbus stayed in for a little while and a bodega filled with wine/sherry! We were able to sample several different sherries, some in which you just had to acquire a ...

By: Abby Stanley Bonjour Friends! I spent my weekend in the beautiful city of Paris, France! We got three full days in Paris, and let’s just say that is not near enough time to experience everything you need to see in Paris. However, we did get to see a lot of the high points and some other interesting things happened, ...

By: Taylor York Hello again! I’m now halfway through my time here in Paris, and time is flying! I’ve visited so many amazing places and made so many new friends. Not to mention, the classes are great, too. It’s so cool to learn about something like the Notre Dame cathedral or the Sainte Chappele and then walk by it on ...

By: Abby Stanley Hola, everyone! Just wanted to update you on our last excursion! We traveled to the mountains of Ronda Sunday. It took us a good 3.5 hours to get there by bus, but it was well worth the drive and the wait! Ronda was gorgeous. We got to see an actual bull fight arena and went on a ...

By: Abby Stanley I passed my final exam for my first class here in Cádiz! I was so nervous about the oral and listening sections of the exam, but I ended up doing just fine! Both professors, Inma 1 and Inma 2, had very nice things to say, so I felt much better about my episode on Tuesday.  Professors here ...

By: Rebecka McAleer By now, you’ve heard me talk about all of the many people I work with. So many names, how do I differentiate them all? Who ARE these people? What makes up an A/V crew? Never fear, dear readers—the answer to that question comes now. Skippy: Skippy is the CEO at GNTV. He’s been working in the business ...

By: Taylor York Bonjour! I have now been in Paris for a full week, and what an amazing week it has been! I’m not sure how anyone could ever get bored here. So far, classes are going really well, and I have visited some amazing places. I am taking French 1002 and Music Appreciation here in Paris, so my field ...

By: Abby Stanley Hello again! Hoping all of you have had a wonderful start to this week! I have much to share with you guys! We had a five hour drive to Cordoba from Segovia, in which most of us slept the entire way.  When we arrived in Cordoba, we had what seemed like a 30-minute walk to our hotel, ...

By: Gisele Greaux Going abroad can be a little scary–especially when you’re essentially going alone. Yes, I’m with a group of people, but I don’t really know any of them so I felt really apprehensive at first. I’m glad to say that the more I get to know some of these people, the better I feel and the more I ...

By: Gisele Greaux Our first full day in St. Petersburg was just exhilarating. We got to take a city tour with our own personal tour guide named Galina. She has a love for the history of St. Petersburg (in fact she never studied history in school, she was once a hydraulics engineer for the Russian military) and is very opinionated ...
