By  Em Barry   This isn’t my first time traveling internationally, but it is my first time in Greece.

This whole study abroad trip has been a roller coaster. There has been a lot that has thrown me off, and a lot has surprised me. For one, I never expected to have eaten 18 gyros by this point in the trip; yet here I am, bloated but never better. With only a week left… Read more »
