Cheers

I embarked on a journey nearly 4,000 miles away from home for over four months. Spending the spring semester of my junior year in Manchester, England was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After applying through Cornell’s CALS Exchange Program, I was elated upon receiving my acceptance letter to study abroad. While home,Continue reading “Cheers”

How I Almost Failed a Class While Abroad

I woke up like this. Flawed. I’m directionally challenged, but hey, that’s Kea. On the morning of April 29, I felt prepared to deliver my 15-minute solo presentation. While in the Learning Commons, I printed two outlines for my professor and fellow marker; after logging into MyManchester to see where my assigned location was, myContinue reading “How I Almost Failed a Class While Abroad”

Copenhagen + Stockholm

~ What a time, to write a blog. Another note, a travelogue. ~ It’s been a while since I recapped my European adventures and as I’m in the midst of procrastinating—I mean preparing—for my last final exam, I figured I’d recount the last two stops I made during my break. Nyhavn Copenhagen, Denmark was aContinue reading “Copenhagen + Stockholm”

London (Again)

I left Granada, Spain and flew into London—Heathrow Airport to be specific. I planned to meet up with a friend for dinner and needed to take the Tube to Leicester Square. With my Oyster Card in hand, I went to top up…and then accidentally shoved my debit card into the slot for notes. Wow. MyContinue reading “London (Again)”

Granada, Spain

Pics or it didn’t happen, right? Wrong. Some of my best memories from Granada aren’t pictured here. Trust, I went out to the club after 2AM because that’s when it’s poppin’. Don’t even think about arriving earlier. I received the best massage of my life at the Arab baths and submerged myself in the watersContinue reading “Granada, Spain”

Clutch: Italy

I landed in Milan with a mission: metro, transfer, Megabus to Padua. On this mission, I had to constantly remind myself, “Thou shalt not judge.” But people still befuddled me. While on the train, a seemingly-sober man sat in front of me, coughed several times without covering his mouth and then took a nap byContinue reading “Clutch: Italy”

Amsterdam

In my last post, I briefly mentioned the importance of avoiding the following situation: being alone and lost in a foreign country at night. Long story short, after I flew into Amsterdam, I accidentally took a train to Rotterdam Central Station instead of Amsterdam Central Station. I know I’m not the only person who hasContinue reading “Amsterdam”

Dublin

March 18th was unlike any other morning I’ve had abroad. Waking up with mixed emotions, I tried to keep the thought of Easter Break in the back of my mind and instead focused on my Marketing midterm. Knowing that only this and the final exam determined my grade for the class, I had prepared inContinue reading “Dublin”
