He who have never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. Today we waited until after lunch to become men. We started out the day by going to the Imperial College and then the Temple of Confucius. On our way to the Imperial College and Confucius Temple, a girl on the bus […]

Air Adventures
Hello all! My name is Casey Barton and I am a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point majoring in business administration. I decided last minute that I wanted to get out and explore the world, specifically China! So I applied to go to China on the School of Business and Economics internship study abroad […]
More...Home Sweet Midwest
I’ve been home for a week now and it’s finally settling in that I’m here to stay … at least until December 17 when I cross that stage. 😉 As I was coming back home it truly felt like I was just coming back for a few weeks to visit everyone and then I was […]
More...The emotional array of studying abroad
My time interning in London is coming to an end much more quickly than I would like it to, but with it comes reflection as well. My aunt–who’s only a few years older than me and has a role much like a sister or best friend in my life–texted me the other day telling me […]
More...Prost to my weekend in Munich, Germany
With some mild sunburn, my voice completely lost to the point where I couldn’t even make a sound (pollen was floating around in the air the size of quarters), and a broken romper later (my strap got caught as I was standing up and broke), I really enjoyed my weekend in Munich, Germany. We have […]

My prayers and thoughts go […]
More...On Sunny Days the Tourist Comes Out
After days of rain and clouds, six University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point students walked away from being working interns and turned into high-energetic crazy tourists. Okay, I was the only one that turned into an extreme tourist with my DSL camera hanging from my neck, selfie stick stuck nearby in my purse and my iPhone at […]
More...This isn’t Wisconsin anymore, or is it?
I’m in London, England! With more emotions than I could identify, I arrived into London listening to “Home” by Phillip Phillips. If you don’t immediately know the song I’m referring to, my apologizes, here’s a link to it on YouTube so you can live a blissful life once again. I’m huge into matching music with […]
More...Here comes goodbye
Hello friends! I am filled with an abundance of emotions as you’ll be able to see in my first blog. I have now moved out of Stevens Point, back home to Hatley, and have a week before I leave for my internship with The Route City Wealth Club in London, England. I hope that this internship […]
More...My Top 10 for Study Abroad
For starters, hello to the UW-Stevens Point community! I’m new to the world of blogging and what better way to introduce myself than share about my past few months I spent studying at the University of Valladolid in Spain. Yes that’s right, I said Spain! I am a Spanish major in addition to dietetics, so […]
