A Texas Girl Exploring the World
If there’s one thing I would consider myself a pro at, it’s weekend trips. Between my semester abroad, weekend adventures while I was in New York, and our frequent trips to the lake, I love being able to get away for the weekend. And, after several cross-country drives from Texas to New York and back, I’ve become […]
Hey guys! Hayden from Haute Table is here with a guest post. I’ve been wanting to take a trip to Marfa for a while, and her post is only giving me more of a reason to go! This tiny Texas town near the border has become a huge attraction in the past few years, and I’m […]
Recently, one of my Zeta sisters reached out to ask me about studying in Amsterdam. Usually, I respond with, “OMG it was great blah blah blah you’ll love it blah blah blah go do it!” But as we kept talking over Facebook, she asked questions that no one has asked me yet. She asked about […]
One of the biggest challenges when studying abroad, aside from things like making friends, being homesick, culture shock, etc., is trying to fit in all of the travel that you want to do. You only have so many weekends (roughly 16-ish depending on how long your semester is), and there is so much to see and […]
Whether you are spending a whole semester studying or you’re just in town for a few days, the Netherlands has so much to see and do. When I wasn’t jetting off to other parts of Europe, I tried to make the most of exploring as much of the country as I could. The Netherlands is […]
One of the best parts about graduating? Not having to drive alllll the way back to Texas at the end of the year and then alllll the way back to New York. I know it seems crazy, but I couldn’t have survived living on Long Island without a car for 3 years. BUT now that […]
A little over two years ago(!!), I was working on my application to study in Amsterdam. It would be another year before I was there, but since my program was a scholarship program, we had to be considered far in advance. But this did make it a little easier, since Amsterdam was the only program […]
Traveling is stressful, and studying abroad is even more stressful. You have so many questions, a million itineraries to keep track of, and several different currencies clinking around in your pocket. This really isn’t the time you want to be weighed down with any extra baggage like guide books or brochures. Luckily, all you need when you […]
Studying abroad was one of the craziest things I have ever done, yet it was also one of the most rewarding. I learned so much and, despite any pitfalls I had along the way, I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to do it. I had SOOOO many questions before I left, and while I […]
I know some of you already have your Christmas trees up and your holiday Pandora station blasting, but I’m here to tell you to tap the breaks, because IT IS ALMOST THANKSGIVING. I love Thanksgiving and look forward to it every year. It is fall’s last hurrah before Christmas season is 100% allowed to take over. […]
