Welcome to Vandyland: A Weekend in Nashville
Last weekend my family flew to Nashville to move my sister into Vanderbilt University. She’s starting her freshmen year as I start my senior year and I can’t believe how time has flown. My parents are also going to be empty nesters which will be a new adventure for them. It was my first time in Nashville and I was so impressed with this little … Continue reading Welcome to Vandyland: A Weekend in Nashville
Abigail Talks: How to have fun in Quito
Hey y’all! Tomorrow is my last day in Quito (v. early saturday flight) and I wanted to share some of my favorite sights before I left and got absorbed in New York/family lovefests. This week has been a lot better, health-wise and attitude wise. My friend Jenna came into Quito last friday and we had a great touristy day together and I even felt well … Continue reading Abigail Talks: How to have fun in Quito
Ecuador, I’m here!!
Hi everyone, I’m writing from Quito, Ecuador, the highest capital city in the world. I’m here thanks to a grant from Penn to do research for my history thesis. Obviously my three weeks here are completely different in structure and purpose from my time in Mexico but there are a few common challenges. As in Mexico, I’m staying in a hotel for the first few … Continue reading Ecuador, I’m here!!
The One Month Mark
I’ve been in Mexico for over a month and I (as always) am surprised at how quickly the time passed. I’m also leaving in a month exactly so this a halfway point and a time of transition. To recap, things have been going very well, especially at work. My job in communications allows me to attend tons of cool events as I’ve mentioned before, which … Continue reading The One Month Mark

This … Continue reading In the last ten days…
I’m back (and blogging from Mexico)
Hey twitfam, I’m back on the blog to tell you about my summer in Mexico City and Ecuador, which began very early this morning. If you’re confused by the previous sentence, here’s what’s happening: I got back from Argentina, enjoyed a few relaxing weeks at home before one of the most difficult semesters Penn could have thrown at me. There were student suicides, weeks of … Continue reading I’m back (and blogging from Mexico)
Midterms, Green Drinks, and Spring
Hey twitfam, It is finally spring in Buenos Aires and I am writing to you live from my room, wearing a dress with no tights. I was a little cold walking back from the bus at 9:30 but it was worth it. The climate here really reminds me of Southern California when it’s warm out and some of the neighborhoods have spanish-y architecture that’s very … Continue reading Midterms, Green Drinks, and Spring
Day 3: This city is huge!
Today was such a busy day I’m blogging this mostly to remember all the places I went. First we had orientation at our normal location, the Circulo Italiano in Recoleta. This was my first time taking the subway alone and I got there just fine, about 45 minutes door to door. After a brief session on life with the host family, we had about an … Continue reading Day 3: This city is huge!
