This year, I spent the month of January living in a completely new country, learning Spanish from scratch.

The land of beer and bridges.

Everyone in France has a fix for either.

As I settle back into a community I will be with for the next 1.5 years, I want to pay homage to the places and people who have hosted me this past year.

Saying goodbye to the year and the country.

It's not all that they said it would be.

For the student-athlete considering going abroad -- I say go for it.

Guess who's studying "abroad"!

Two years ago I took my Spanish 101 final -- now I'm studying for finals at a Chilean university.

I was studying the downfall of democracy in Chilean politics when I checked the polls for the first time on Election Night.

With a busy class schedule, study away paperwork, and some new jobs, I've managed to keep myself very busy this semester! As I get ready for my study away program next semester, I try to recap my study away application experiences.

Study abroad has made me think a lot about the word "home."
