The subject of this blog is going to revolve around why you should put in as much effort as you can with the locals on your year abroad. I think that anyone who you talk to about their Erasmus experience will tell you that you meet many internationals studying abroad, no matter where you are
After a year of research and planning, I finally handed in the YARP. It was like a huge weight off my shoulders. The obligatory photo of a dissertation hand in isn’t quite the same when it is an online submission, but the feeling was just as uplifting
I’m no longer writing from the French capital as I’ve moved down South to the city of Grenoble. This blog post will be about my experience leaving somewhere and starting new in another place. It’s not very common for a Southampton student to split their Year Abroad, as Erasmus and British Council placements last the whole year, but so far […]
Hello again, The main subject I want to write about is the contrast of studying here in Galway compared to Southampton. The one thing that differs from Southampton, is the number of modules that you have the choice to take here. Essentially, there are endless opportunities

Since coming to Germany, the greatest struggle I have faced is homesickness and missing my loved ones from back home. It hasn’t been easy moving to another country and being taken away from the support system I have grown accustomed to at home
When I first started my internship here in Paris, I didn’t really know what to expect. After an initial introductory meeting on the first day including some basic information about the job, we went straight to work. Within the first three days, I was already making phone calls in French, creating contracts, and using almost no English whilst at work […]
I can’t deny that I was extremely excited leading up to the Christmas holiday. Finally, a chance to go home and see my friends and family, and be able to understand and communicate with people, without having any language issues
After spending 2 ½ weeks in England for the Christmas holidays, I found it quite hard to get back into the swing of things. One of the main struggles for me was getting used to using Spanish again, as after barely using it over the holidays it was all over the place, and I’m still getting used to using it […]
