Do You Belize in Magic?
What’s good everybody!?
I’m David and before the sun comes up on Monday I’ll be on my way to Punta Gorda Town, Belize for six weeks with my friend Linda. We’ll be working in a school in San Marcos for the majority of our stay, teaching kids science, and the importance of caging their pigs for water sanitation. Whatever time we have left will be spent in the Big Falls Medical clinic, and I’m starting to get pretty psyched about going soon!
Talk to ya soon,

Belize Service Trip
Hi everybody!
My name is Brittany and starting in just a few days, I’m going to be headed to Cusco, Peru for six weeks of service!
I’m not positive exactly what I’ll be doing once I get there, but it will most likely be working in some sort of medical clinic.
The catch? The most Spanish I speak, (since in Peru they mostly only speak Spanish) is
Hola! Muchas gracias!
Wish me luck :)

Peru Service Trip
This past weekend I went to Tangier, Morocco with 6 other friends from my program in Bilbao. It was AMAZING. The culture and soul of the city are so different from Bilbao, which was really interesting to experience. But, the best part of the trip was getting to ride a camel along the coast! Here’s a picture of my friend Nick and I during the camel ride. So glad I got to check this off my bucket list!

Hey Everyone! I’m Christine Renzi and I’m currently abroad in Bilbao, Spain.
It’s been an amazing experience and I’m so blessed to be abroad in Bilbao. I’m excited for you to get a peek into what I’ve been up to since January, and what’s to come!
Here’s a picture of my university in Bilbao, Universidad de Deusto. It overlooks the river that runs through the center of the city, so it’s a beautiful place to be everyday.
Here I am reppin’ Siena on the beach about 30 minutes from the city.
That’s it for now!

Study Tour to Italy
approximately 22 different meals.
between 16 and 25 cappuccinos.
about 8 gelati…
and out of it the 9 days spent I got to know a handful of people, become closer with my professor and saw that there is so much more in the world than I had ever known. I feel blessed to have been given this opportunity and that I got the honor of becoming closer with so many incredible people. thank you Italy for the one of the most amazing trips I will ever experience. I have fallen in love with this country and these people and I am eternally grateful to them for making this trip everything it was.
Grazie e ciao

Study Tour to Italy
Today was a cold and rainy day, perfect for a day at a museum! We visited the Risorgimento Museum where we got a first hand look at the artifacts which we had been learning about for the past semester. Following the museum, we had a delicious lunch and the group separated to those who visited the Cinema Museum, the Automobile Museum or a continuation of shopping and eating. Tonight the group will be going to the Napoli v. Torino soccer game! More photos to follow.

Study Tour to Italy
Our first day of Torino was spent eating and eating and eating. We walked around to get a feel for the beautiful architecture and urban setting. The group started off at one of the oldest pastry shops and had snacks and cappuccino and must’ve walked another 20 feet before coming to a gelateria, which we obviously needed to try as well. We saw a few street performers, as well as the Savoy Palace. We ended the day with a classic three hour Italian meal as a group! Delicious :)

Habitat for Humanity Service Trip to Marion, South Carolina
For lunch today we had a classic South Carolina dish some of us have been looking forward to all week: chicken bog. It was made for us by the Marion firefighters and tasted delicious.
The last activity we had to complete before heading out was the annual nail competition. Each person hammered a nail into a piece of wood, and the person who used the fewest number of hammer swings won. The first place prize went to a student from Hamilton, but everyone did a great job!
We embarked on a long 6 hour car trip, but we’re all safe and sound in Maryland now. Tomorrow we’ll be up early to finish our journey back to Siena!
