She’s baaaaaaack!

After studying three months abroad, herewith Stephanie Vegliante’s last piece. Thanks Ms Vegliante. Based on all the students who came and talk to me about your experience(s), I know I am not the only one who enjoyed this!
My trip to study abroad began just over 3 months ago in Boston. It was a huge culture [...]

Our girl made it to Rome

Stephanie made it to Italy (eventually). She and her cousin were going to go during their equivalent of our spring break. But, then the volcano hit the fan! Here’s her story (with gorgeous pics, as usual!)
I took a 4-hour boat trip from the island to Athens with my cousin on our way to Italy. We [...]

No Rome for Stephanie, yet!

Stephanie and her cousin planned to visit Italy during their break. Instead, because of the volcano eruption in Iceland, this is the message that I got. It pays to keep one’s cool and have a sense of humor. If they do manage to get to Italy, I will post her report before I leave in [...]

More happiness from Greece

Another installment from Stephanie who is studying in Greece this semester. Y’all read this and tell me whether she is having the time of her life or not? So, when are YOU going??
Easter here was unbelievably crowded. Tourists started coming in the week before and all the cafes were finally opened. The streets were painted [...]

Greetings from Greece!

Only this morning a student asked whether I had heard from Stephanie … well, here it is, her first posting from Greece (together with her very own pics … great stuff, so she was taught well in the School of Communication!)
We flew into Heathrow, had a 12-hr layover (overnight), got a room, woke up around [...]

Stephanie will report back to us and we will learn from her on a regular basis. In the mean time, what do you have to lose? Click [...]

Stephanie’s on her way … almost

Time is drawing near for Stephanie Vegliante, one of my students, who will be leaving for the Aegean Center in Greece in a few days. She has agreed to keep us posted of her experiences, as well as supplying pics … which would be great as she is a photography major.

I now have 5 days [...]

TESL abroad

There are many opportunities for young people, straight out of college, to work abroad … legally of course. Just like we frown upon illegal immigrants, so does the rest of the world.
If I could have my life over, I would teach English as a second language abroad, and in particular, Europe. It looks so attractive, [...]

Stephanie in Greece

I met Stephanie Vegliante when she was a student in one of my classes. She talked to me about traveling abroad and went to Paris last year with three friends. She was bitten, and the next thing I knew, she was thinking about studying abroad … in Paros Greece. When she told me that she [...]
