I arrived in Brussels on Sunday morning after a 13-hour flight. Who knew I'd be energized after sitting in a cramped seat and binge watching "Brooklyn 99"? But I'm going too fast, let me start with my flight. My flight from the ever-busy Atlanta airport was quite exciting. I had the pleasure of sitting next…

After receiving an email stating that the School of Public Affairs was looking for students to participate in a study abroad program in Brussels, I immediately jumped on the application. Now, a few months later, I find myself searching the internet for converter outlets, places to exchange currency and the no-no's of travel. Destination: Brussels.…

Upon my arrival in Melbourne, Australia, I had no idea of what to expect. Yes, I was told many things and was given lots of tips of what to expect before moving here, but when I landed three weeks ago, all the things I learned beforehand went out the window. I had no idea what…

As I entered the cable car at the base of the mountain, my mind was racing with nervous excitement. I signed up for a ski trip to the Alps, and this was my very first time on skis. Lack of experience would normally rule out the slope I was about to attempt, but I decided…

I remember in my freshman year of high school, my teacher has us read "Great Expectations." I'm not entirely sure I understood what Dickens was trying to say at the time, but I do now. Looking at my calendar, every weekend has me jet-setting to a far off land, including Prague, Paris and Berlin, one…

Studying abroad is a very big deal. I'm not only learning how to cope with a new culture in Italy for four months, but I'm also taking classes at a new school, Florence University of the Arts, in places that sometimes take more than 30 minutes to find. Some people thrive faster than others, making…

Three countries, 14 days, 19 new friends and infinite memories describes my study abroad experience in a nutshell. During winter break 2016/17, I was fortunate enough to participate in the Trulaske College of Business South America program, where I could immerse myself in Chilean and Argentine cultures.

I know Mizzou students love to show their school spirit during sporting events, but I think my school here in South Korea takes it to a whole new level. My host school, Korea University, has a rivalry with Yonsei University. Every year, they have a big competition called 고연전 (Goyeonjon) with their teams in baseball,…

This weekend I traveled with my study abroad program to the regions of Normandy and Brittany. I've been to a small part of Normandy before, but I was super excited to go back and see even more of its beautiful landscape. Day one started at the Caen Memorial Museum. It's home to a fantastic and…

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful country of Morocco. This was the first time I'd ever stepped foot in Africa, but it certainly won't be my last. While I spent six days in Morocco, we really only spent two days doing anything besides sitting in an airport or on a bus. That…
