Like I have mentioned before, I have been on two exchange programs. One to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and the other at The University of York in York, United Kingdom. Just by their location alone, I am sure you ...
Friday night I walked from Brandenburg Gate to the Fernsehtrum (television tower with a view). On the way I saw so much amazing architecture and they looked even more beautiful in the evening with less people there. When I got ...
London is home to many different neighborhoods, each with its own unique identity. So far one of my favorite places to go, day or night is Shoreditch. Now Shoreditch is what one may call a hipster hub of some sort. ...
Appreciation for culture in Europe is much deeper than in the United States. Art, music, history, science and architecture are celebrated and considered as a critical part of every city´s and country’s identity. That idea is clearly emphasized by the ...
Hello from Korea again! So for this post, I wanted to talk about the other Korean-foreign groups. The first groups I wanted to mention are Glitters and HOW (Hanyang One World). They are different groups of Korean students who plan fun events open to both Korean students and foreigners alike, Glitters being one specifically catered ...
“To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.” -Tony Robbins One of the many things I was looking forward to prior to coming to London was the opportunity to live in an environment ...
So here it is. My final day in the UK. As I sit here in terminal five at Heathrow Airport, I can’t shake the fact that I am actually leaving. This semester will truthfully go down as the or one of the best semesters of my college career. In middle school I talked to one ...
4/3/2018 I remember being 10 years old and the most distance I ever traveled was for a trip to Disney World. I remember waking up early in the morning right as the sun began to peek through the clouds. I had to aid my Dad with packing all of our heavy luggage and each time ...
Ok the title may be a little misleading since I’ve only seen three places, but that’s good enough in my book! Before I left York, my floor mates opened up their homes to me for a couple day stay if I wanted to (I know I know they are great mates!). The first stop was ...
This post is a combined one of trips and experiences along the beautiful Rhine River Valley in Germany: Marksburg Castle in Braubach, a historic fortress in Koblenz (Ehrenbreitstein), and the impressive monument in Rudesheim (Neiderwald). I will also share some reflections about living in Vallendar, a small town along the Rhine River, and studying abroad ...
When I look back at York, I will reflect on all the adventures I had, the places I had the fortune to see, and the people that will stick with me for a lifetime, but as I was writing this reflection I felt like I was leaving a huge piece of my journey behind. I’ve ...
Hi everyone! Seeing as this is my first blog post here in Korea, I figure I should start off with an introduction. My name is Cat and I’m a third year biology student at Drexel University. I decided to study at Hanyang University in Korea right after my fall-winter co-op and I have been here ...
A few days before I had to depart this beautiful country, I had the luxury to visit Hampton Court. Now I know you have no idea what that is (neither did I), but it is one of Britain’s many treasures. Here’s why! Back in the good ole times of the 1500s, this man named Cardinal ...
“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life” – Samuel Johnson I’ve only been here for almost 2 weeks and I already feel as though I have been here for much longer. After adjusting and settling into my new home in Kensington, I have had a some time to explore the ...
