Study Abroad Girl

Just a college sophomore turned Global Citizen. Follow my adventures abroad (though I'm mostly writing for me)

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

Encountering so many cultural differences--what I call soda, my roommate from the Midwest calls a "pop"

How am I ever going to fit all the crop tops I've purchased here in my suitcase so that I can never wear them back home? #AbroadStruggles

So many amazing historic cities in Spain, especially Valencia, the namesake of my fav Instagram filter

Drinking alcohol is common during meals and isn't stigmatized here as in the US, so in true European fashion I had an AMF w/ breakfast

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

European men (that I've seen on fashion billboards) dress way better than the American men I know (hungover college boys in athletic shorts)

@GuyInYourMFA There's nothing like the coffee in Europe. My dorm's coffee vending machine makes the best k-cup lattes

Today we did as the Romans do and saw the Colosseum. Loved how for the visitor log, you just carve your name into the walls. Very creative

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

Europe is SO expensive, I'm going to be broke by the end of this trip! (but not actually since my mom and dad are funding this whole thing)

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

@GuyInYourMFA So real! The classroom isn't your classroom; the WORLD is your classroom.

Expect a lengthy blog post soon--Just saw my first uncircumcised penis

So beautiful I can communicate w/ host-bro in the same language. He's intensively studied English for 8 years, & I learned how to say "vino"

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

“@TIME: Sorry selfie stick lovers. Another museum has banned them” Good! Now maybe tourists can experience the Mona Lisa like the natives do

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

I am amazed how quickly you can travel here. I flew from Sevilla to Paris in the time it took to mupload my weekly 342 photos to FB

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

European cuisine is fresh and delicious. The @McDonalds is so good here I have it almost daily--really!

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

Amazing all the new, interesting people you meet while abroad--Already made friends from exotic places such as South Dakota and Maine!

@TripAdvisor A5 A half-frozen Skype screen. Long-distance is hard, but our relationship is strong. #TripAdvisorChat #WomensTravel

@buzzfeedtravel refreshing to see a list that' not so "euro-centric" for once! Australia really expanded my worldview

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

I'll write as often as I'm "inspired" which, staring at the crystal blue waters of the Aegean, is frequently.

[Study Abroad Girl @StudyAbroadGurl]

@NatGeoTravel these are cool, but have you explored Europe? You really have to go abroad to expand your worldview. London change my life.

The world is my classroom, and people are my textbook, I tell my professor when she asks for the conjugation homework I didn't do.
