Hola chicos! I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break and time away from school! I just returned to Valladolid yesterday after 12 days of nonstop traveling. It was crazy insane and I loved every minute of it. First stop was London where I spent two nights exploring the city by myself. I know a […]

With the weather warming up, London is full of new opportunities for the exploring tourist. One of my favorite things to do on a spring day is to visit one of the many famous parks scattered around the city. I am very fond of Regents Park as I live right outside of its gates and […]

As my last college spring break was quickly approaching, I knew that I needed to go out with a bang, and that is just what I did! Through the Outdoor EdVentures group on campus, with the assistance of our “fearless leaders” Ed and Mike, nine students (including myself) were able to have a whirl-wind adventure […]

Before coming to London, I was vaguely familiar with the pop culture sensations of The Beatles, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, but I had no idea how important they were to British culture.

In the midst of this spring semester, as we are conquering our midterm exams, it has been a really busy time of year. Most recently, I have been applying for available marketing jobs. Through this application process, I have realized the importance of branding yourself. A few weeks ago, I created my own business card […]

When thinking about Paris one thing always comes to mind for me, besides the Eiffel Tower, and that’s desserts. Delicious desserts of all kinds! Chocolaty, fruity, flakey, or frosted, you name it and the French make it better than anything you could have hoped for. Part of the Paris experience is enjoying the local cuisine, […]

It’s a common stereotype that the French supposedly are rude to tourists, especially Americans, and after spending the weekend there I can say I didn’t get that impression at all. Even the people I interacted with that could speak no English at all were friendly with me and I was a little bit surprised after […]
