 I, like the majority of Americans, am not from here. Parts of my family came on the Mayflower in 1620, and another part came in after World War II, as well as at various times between those years.

Once upon a time, there was a journalism student who chose to study abroad in Marburg. Ready to travel again, she packed her bags for the adventure of a lifetime. Not knowing who or what she would encounter along the way, she prepared herself (or tried to anyway) for anything and everything! Little did she…

As someone who has lived in Germany before I was unsure of what to expect this time around. The first time I was here was in 2017, which was pre-Corona and I was living with a host family. Now, being here in a time of corona and mostly on my own, there are plenty of…
