Welcome back to my blog again! In this post I am going to share my experiences as a CIEE Global Scholar and what it entails to be in a program that allows students to choose three countries to study in, focusing on the living situations in each country. In Madrid my first location I lived…

What Kind of Semester Has It Been?
After an entire day flying back home and almost a week battling the sludge of jetlag I’ve finally fully returned from my semester abroad in Sydney- and what a semester it has been. It felt like this semester was the missing piece of my time at Pitt. It took everything that I have learned academically,…
Weekend in Wuhu
Hi Everybody, I just got back from a trip to Wuhu which is in the Anhui province. I would think that almost all Americans have never even heard of this city. It is a city without any tourist sites, it’s not particularly large and there isn’t a ton to do. So the question is why…
Thank You Sydney
As I look back and reflect on my time in Sydney, it’s hard for me to explain how awesome this experience has been for me. I have made relationships and friendships that are going to last a lifetime and made memories that I will never forget! When thinking back to the first day, when I…

Much like my semester abroad, I waited until the last minute to really plan and pack for my trip. Two nights before my intended departure date I booked the cheapest flight that I…

Life in the Paris of the East
Hey Everybody! Things have been fantastic in Shanghai, but definitely staying really busy. I have always heard that study abroad would be a fun trip with more of a focus on having fun then on the studies, but it seems my adventure is the opposite. The school aspect has been pretty manageable with my…
My Trip to New Zealand
Before leaving for Australia I would have never guessed that I would be traveling as much as I am. It’s crazy to think about. I’ve seen so many much of Sydney, swam in the Great Barrier Reef and had a spring break in Bali. But the most memorable trip I took happened towards the end…
