One Ending and Another Beginning
Posted by Andy Steves on September 15, 2010.
People talk about senioritis at the end of high school as a lack of motivation due to collegiate-acceptance goals already being achieved. There’s no sense in killing yourself for a 4.0 when you’re already decided where you’re heading for college. For me, entering my fourth year of University, … More »

Dinner at Mikki’s and a Swiss-Guard Induction Ceremony
Posted by Andy Steves on September 15, 2010.
I knew I had to go back to Miscellania, the rustic little restaurant that became our student hangout, have dinner, and see its crazy owner, Mikki, one more time this semester before it was over. I saved my last meal at Mikki’s for the last Sunday in Rome.
I met up with a friend and his … More »

Savoring Our Last Days in Rome: A Thoughtful Walk and a Progressive Dinner

Happy Backpackers
This past weekend, I traveled to Budapest with WSA with a couple of friends from my university abroad, and I couldn't have asked for a better trip! After arriving at the hostel, we met Bogi, our tour guide for the weekend, who was instantly friendly and welcoming. Throughout the weekend, Bogi was an amazing guide! She showed us some great places for shopping and food, as well as the top sights around the city. You could tell she loved her job and never passed up an opportunity to share about her hometown and some of its history. She was so friendly and was sincerely interested in us as individuals and did everything she could do accommodate our priorities for the weekend (whether it was food, shopping, nightlife, sightseeing, etc.) I would highly recommend WSA's guided tours for any student studying abroad who wants to explore more than their university's city!
