Your Costa Rica Study Abroad Survival Guide
Bienvenidos amigos! I’ve already written a blog about things you must pack for Costa Rica, but I thought I should go more in-depth with things I wish I had known before coming here, as well as things that will make your time here much easier! Money Costa Rica’s currency is the Colon. Before I go ...
5 Things to See When You Visit Tamarindo
Over one of the weekends since being in Costa Rica, I took a trip with a group from the program to Tamarindo in Guanacaste. We embarked on a six-hour journey via public transportation from San Jose, costing only $13—an absolute steal, in my opinion. Nestled along the Pacific Coast, Tamarindo greets you with a palpable ...
Reflection on My Time Abroad in Florence
My time studying in Florence, Italy, has been truly incredible, and I have seen and experienced so much, not only in Italy but in countries across Europe. I could not have hoped for or imagined a better semester. Although it is difficult to say in words all the things that I learned, I think it ...
Day Trip to Lucerne, Switzerland
For my second day in Switzerland, we took a day trip from Zurich to the city of Lucern, only about an hour by train from Zurich Central Station (HB). The tickets were about $27 each way, no train transfers necessary, and be arrived before we knew it! With no real plan, we wandered around the ...
Enjoying the Season in Switzerland
In Italy, you are perfectly located near so many awesome countries. Right above Italy is Switzerland, known for its Swiss Alps, chocolate, and cheese. My friend invited me take a trip to Zurich, Switzerland to check out the Christmas markets, and I decided to go last minute! I took a FlixBus, a super affordable way ...

A Daytrip to Ancient Fiesole
In Florence, you are constantly surrounded by beautiful Renaissance buildings, narrow streets, and busy shops. However, for those wanting a change of pace from the bustle of the touristic city, or those interested in another aspect of history, Fiesole is the perfect little village to take a day trip to. I recently visited this ancient ...
Heidelberg or Heaven?
Only a 15-minute train ride from Mannheim, there’s a ridiculously charming touristy town called Heidelberg. Because it wasn’t a hub of transportation or an industrial stronghold during the 1900s, (luckily) the U.S. Army didn’t feel as though it was remotely necessary to bomb it during the second World War. It is because of this that ...
The End is Here
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela Hello hello, everyone and welcome back. Today marks the last day of the Drexel Paris + London program and it is a bittersweet feeling to think that the end has arrived. I have had such an amazing time ...
