Kalispera! My courses are officially over, and all I have left are finals. In three weeks, I will be home again, except I won’t be returning alone. The day after my last post, I rescued a kitten and she has been with me since. Her name is Venus and she’s only three months old. Venus […]

Hi everyone! This coming week will be my final week of courses. I have enjoyed each course and learned much from all of them. Time has flown since I arrived in Cyprus, but I am ready to go home. I know I will miss the warm and sunny days, however, I am excited to return […]

Yassas everyone! The end of my semester is fast approaching and the past couple of weeks have kept me busy. A month ago, I was able to visit Athens, Greece for a couple days and it was surreal.

Yassas from Nicosia, Cyprus! Tomorrow will mark two weeks since I left the States and arrived in Cyprus. To say that Cyprus is beautiful is an understatement. Once I settled in, exploring the city and campus was easy. I was also able to find my sit spot for the semester. It wasn’t easy picking a […]
