Hi! My name is Kellie Leuthold. I am a raising senior at the college of Charleston. I am going on the Paris public health study abroad program. I chose this program because I had never been to Europe before, and it was a perfect fit with my major. Going on this trip I set goals to explore as much as I possibly can and to respect and enjoy France. I…
In mid-October, as I was finally adjusting to my new life here in Chile, a mass movement of protests began. These protests first began by a group of high-school students, due to the rise of the metro prices, which was labelled as “Evade”. However, this was only the spark that lit the fire. These protests have now become a national movement for social change. These manifestations have been conducted all…
During the last month of my time abroad I did more traveling to London, Ibiza, Granada, and two cities in the north of Spain called Logroño and Pamplona. Logroño is Spanish wine country and is a small town whereas Pamplona hosts the “running of the bulls” and a tomato throwing festival called la Tomatina. Throughout my traveling experiences I have realized that you really do not have to bring that…

I began my time here at the University of Hertfordshire (Hatfield, England) on the seventeenth of September, however, I was lucky enough to spend two weeks traveling across Italy and Ireland before my arrival. One thing that has become increasingly clear to my since leaving the states is just how little I really know about the world outside of the places I live. Although we learn about global events though…

My favorite foods so far are the Spanish tortilla (similar to a buttery potato casserole), “angulas” (baby sauteed eels), paella, and peppers stuffed with fish. Another aspect of studying abroad in Trujillo,…

Adjusting to a different culture, food, and time difference is exhausting and hard, but the people here make it so much easier. I think the toughest day for me was the first day of class. A show was being recorded in La Plaza Mayor, the central plaza, and to get to class you have to cut through, but it was blocked off for the show. I gave myself an hour…
I am currently living out my childhood dreams of living on a ship like Zach and Cody. Semester at Sea is a program where I will be traveling to eleven different countries and earning twelve credits that transfer to the College of Charleston. Living solely on a ship is completely different then life in the low-country. A part from the obvious of not being on land, maritime culture was a…
