I applied to this program through my university just on the off chance that if I were to… Continue reading What I Learned on Easter Island
I visited Vatican City on a Saturday in the summer during my study abroad program in Orvieto, Italy. While it was incredibly crowded, it was entirely worth the hype - to me, at least. Some people might disagree, but I stand by what I wrote after my visit in 2018: "The only disappointing thing about… Continue reading One Day in Vatican City
