I’m Setting Sail!

Jul 15, 2021
Megan
Come July 17th, I will be officially in my happy place; on the open ocean setting sail for a new adventure. Now that cruising is back (well sort of), my family and I could not wait to get back on board. While this may not be the make up Europe cruise, we had planned for 2020, I am just thankful to be taking my first full week vacation since 2019! It is long over do.

How Study Abroad Changed My Life

Jul 12, 2021
Katie
When I was 20, between my junior and senior years of undergrad, I was fortunate enough to join about ~100 other students from my college on a month-long study abroad. We spent two weeks in France, primarily Paris, as well as two weeks in London, England. While there, I finished my capstone class to graduate, but more importantly, I had an adventure that changed my life. These are just a few of the things, outside of advertising campaigns, that my study abroad taught me.

That Time When… I Voluntoured in New York

Jun 21, 2021

I was a sophomore in college when Hurricane Sandy devastated New York. I had seen hurricane damage in Florida, but we’re prepared for hurricanes here - this was something entirely different. So much damage had been done, with thousands of houses flooded. When my RA shared that the UF Hillel was organizing a volunteer trip to help out, I knew I wanted to give back - plus, it meant a free trip to New York.

We’re Going to Ireland!

May 17, 2021

Ireland was the first international trip that Tyler and I took together. We flew to Dublin in December 2016, spending a week there before making it home just in time to celebrate the holidays - unlike subsequent years. We stayed in a tiny hotel on the “wrong” side of the river, but we had the week to explore and fall in love with the country; I swore I’d be back soon.

What to Do When An Airline Changes Your Flight

May 10, 2021
Katie
Our research and trip almost came to a halt when I got the email two weeks ago that the airline had changed our flights. Every single leg of our trip had changed, and we lost several hours in San Francisco - while gaining several hours on a layover in LAX. We had to decide what to do, figuring we had three options to choose from.

That Time When… I Fell on a Cactus

We had to hustle over to Brown's Mountain after her shift to make sure we had time to get up to the top and back before sunset. Our timing was slightly off, so it was darker than we would have liked as we made our way back down the mountain. This, combined with my knack for falling, had unfortunate results.
