Another Study Abroad on Paros Wraps Up

Posted June 10, 2022 by vhooton

By Thomas Lewis As another summer study abroad on Paros wraps up, I am really delighted that this group of students was able to rise to the challenge of putting together an ambitious set of beautiful films. For whatever reason, we ended up with more films on our docket than we typically do, with some… Read more »

A Bittersweet End

Posted June 10, 2022 by vhooton

By Jasmine Martin Today is the day we present our projects to the citizens on Paros. It is difficult to believe that we started these projects 3 weeks ago. Albert and Thomas told us that this trip would feel like we have been here for a very long time as well as if we hardly… Read more »

A Second Home

Posted June 10, 2022 by vhooton

By Virginia Hooton I have only spent three weeks on Paros. Three short weeks, and it has felt like I’ve only been here for a few days, it also feels as if I’ve been here for years. It’s so hard to describe my time here in a way that makes sense. I have had an… Read more »

The Language of Joy

Posted June 7, 2022 by vhooton

By Jason Peercy There is a special feeling here on Paros. I have met many people that I will not forget and that I hope to return to see again. Each meal is a time for love and reflection with family and friends. Walking through the streets, I am greeted by the people I have… Read more »

This Experience is Truly Something Else

Posted June 6, 2022 by vhooton

By Em Barry To be truthful, I did not expect to have the opportunity to write another blog entry. At this point, I’ve gotten a little over two weeks of the Paros experience and nearing completion of my main project. Paros itself is a beautiful island, but I can totally get the “tourist-ification” of the… Read more »

The Best Things in Life, the Very Best Things Happen Unexpectedly

Posted June 6, 2022 by vhooton

By Miranda Prowse Being in Paros has taught me a lot more about myself than I ever imagined. It has allowed me to clear my mind and live in the moment. I have gained a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities over the past few weeks, and I have this opportunity to thank… Read more »

Sunshine Daydreams

Posted June 4, 2022 by vhooton

Jake Bertram Spending nearly a month on Paros has been an unforgettable time in my life. I came on this trip not only for the experience of a lifetime but also for an enlightening, soul-searching endeavor. I don’t know what it is, but there is something about Paros that is just going to stick with… Read more »

What Does it Mean?

Posted June 3, 2022 by vhooton

Lauren Drang What does it mean that I have memorized these streets, and they’re now stored in my muscle memory? When I feel comfortable getting breakfast by myself on the coast, what does it mean? When I have made so many jokes about moving out here when I know they aren’t really jokes, what does… Read more »

Where’d All the Time Go?

Posted June 2, 2022 by vhooton

By Jennifer Blohm   We’re about a week or so away from the end of the program. It’s very bittersweet. I love this island, the people, the culture, the food… everything. I’m going to miss it. On the other hand, I cannot wait to go home. I miss my bed, cooking, friends, partner, and family…. Read more »

Life is Short, and the World is Wide

Posted June 1, 2022 by vhooton

By Miranda Prowse Before coming to Paros, I was incredibly nervous. I had never flown out of the U.S.A before, never worked with cameras, and was worried that I wouldn’t find my fit within the group. I have been on Paros for 2 weeks now, and every day gets more amazing than the next. There… Read more »
