Hello, Readers! This is Marta Stahlfeld, author of the Darkwoods series. I attend Wisconsin Lutheran College, and for my Honors degree, I'm required to spend one semester studying abroad. I selected American College in Dublin for my study abroad school.
My study abroad adventure begins with a two-week trip to Italy with Dr. Moldenhauer, where I will get to study Italian authors and authors from England and America who wrote extensively about Italy. We will be staying in a former convent in the town of Orvietto, but we will be taking day trips to Rome, Assisi, and Florence! I leave for Italy on January 3rd (and arrive on the 4th) and then I leave for Ireland on January 14th.
I'll have a few days to explore Dublin before classes begin, and I plan to visit Newgrange, Monasterboise, and Trim Castle as soon as I can. Then classes begin!
So that's going to be the beginning of my travels to Europe. I'll make sure to post as many pictures as I can! I hope everyone's December is going well.
This is so awesome! I hope to study abroad at some point in my college career. I'm going on a trip with my university to Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales in Spring 2016, so I'm super pumped about that :D I look forward to hearing about your adventures and seeing all the beautiful pictures!! :)
