There are so many things to talk about; I’m really not sure where to begin. I applied for this trip several months ago, not really expecting much of it, but remaining hopeful. The main idea was to expand my horizons and try to step out of my bubble of familiarity, which I think it’s safe… Read more »

My experience on Paros has been better than I had expected it to be, even after having such elevated expectations from the discussions I had with Albert and Thomas before the trip. I have friendly interactions with strangers back home, but not as frequently as on Paros. I feel like I have been friends with… Read more »

After almost two weeks of classes here on the island of Paros, I can only imagine what it would have been like not to take on such an incredible journey. I picture myself sitting at home reading or out in my hometown searching for a summer job. How oblivious I would have been to such… Read more »

I have made unforgettable memories every day so far, and writing about them makes this trip even more real and genuine. The traveling portion should be another blog in itself for each of my peers; we practically wanted to kiss the ground getting off the plane here in Paros after all of our peculiar “adventures.”… Read more »

A typical day in Paros thus far has begun with a morning walk to the Archaeological Institute to start our work for the day. Today, however, began quite differently. Rolling out of bed admittedly more tired than usual, we gathered as a group outside of the Villa Katerina and began a different kind of adventure…. Read more »

The start of this trip was absolutely horrendous. After a really rough travel experience, I was beginning to lose hope that things would get better. My flight to Greece was changed at the last minute due to a delay, and my luggage was lost for six days upon arrival. It was like I was cursed… Read more »

  I truly love what I do. I love working hard and learning new things about video production and sound design every day. I love experimenting with the equipment, learning the software, and working with the people who are involved with it all as well. It’s extremely hard for me to find the perfect balance… Read more »
