Ciao my name is John Mazza and I am a rising senio

Ciao my name is John Mazza and I am a rising senior majoring in civil engineering. I studied abroad in Florence in the spring of 2020. On today’s #flashbackfriday I want to remember my ski trip to the Swiss Alps. The views were absolutely stunning and it was the best skiing of my life. My favorite part was after spending a long day in the Alps I got to taste some delicious fondue. I would highly recommend trying to visit Switzerland abroad, it truly was beautiful. #syracuseabroad

Meet the Staff: Madrid 🇪🇸 Dr. Ariadne Marí

Meet the Staff: Madrid 🇪🇸 Dr. Ariadne María Ferro, Student Life Director @syracuseumadrid I’m originally from Hialeah, FL (Miami) and was raised in an amazing Cuban community. Once I left home, study abroad ✈️🌍became a big part of my life. During my university and grad school years I had the privilege of earning scholarships to 🧳 study abroad in Madrid 🇪🇸as an undergraduate and again in Madrid and later in Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷as part of my M.A. in Spanish and Portuguese. These experiences helped me feel independent and resourceful for the first time as I navigated totally new environments, and taught me that there are many places where I can feel at home.In 2002, I decided to continue my education in Spain, and in 2005 I became a dual Spanish-U.S. citizen 🇪🇸🇺🇸. Now, along with my Argentine 🇦🇷 partner, we’re raising two kids who have family in several countries. It’s a tough choice to find my favorite place in Madrid. It’s still exciting for me to walk down the Gran Vía 🛍, even 27 years after my first visit. Though I also love the Parque del Oeste🌳🌳, and it’s amazing how close city life and nature co-exist here.Madrid is a big, cosmopolitan, European capital with a small town feel in many aspects. It has everything you could want in a modern, bustling city with the warmth you’d expect of a smaller location. 🍊🥾✈️There are so many hidden and not-so-hidden gems in Madrid that are worth exploring 🧭🗺. However, be prepared for the discomfort that comes with a worthwhile learning experience. Ask us for tips on books 📚, blogs 💻, and videos 📽 on Madrid to check out before you come abroad, and remember that you’ll get out of it what you put into it. Finally, everyone’s experience is unique, and know that you’ll have resources here to support you through this life-changing experience.We hope to see you soon in Madrid! @syracuseumadrid

Meet the Staff: Madrid 🇪🇸Pilar Diaz de la Rubia Syracuse Madrid / Student Life Program Assistant - Communications & Design @syracuseumadrid ¡Hola, 👋🏽 my name is Pilar! My love for paella 🥘, tortilla de patata 🥚🥔, and Spanish cheese 🧀 can’t be beat! I’m ½ Spanish 🇪🇸and was surrounded by Spanish language and culture growing up. My love of the culture only grew, taking me to Granada ✈️🌍where I studied abroad for a year, and then to Madrid where I’ve lived since 2013. After studying abroad I had a strong feeling that I would somehow make my way into the field, but never knew I would end up at my dream job. After teaching 👩🏻‍🏫English in Madrid for 3 years I decided to pursue my passion and completed a M.A. in International Education 📚, which ultimately led me to Syracuse Madrid. My favorite part of my job is helping students as they navigate their experience abroad, even if just to be someone they can share an exciting experience with!My favorite place in Madrid… impossible! There’s something new on every street and there are unlimited places to discover. If I had to pick a spot, it would probably be on a picnic 🧺blanket with some cheese 🧀and jamón 🍞at the Madrid Rio.What makes living in Madrid special is how versatile and dynamic it is. You can seriously find it all! Wanting to spend the day relaxing - visit one of the many parks 🌳! Looking for more movement and excitement - stroll through the bustling 🚶🏽🚶🏽‍♀️city center or explore any of Madrid’s exciting neighborhoods. We’ve even got mountains ⛰for hiking 🥾and beautiful cities such as Toledo and Segovia just a short ride away!My advice if you’re thinking of coming to Madrid - do it!! ✔️Studying abroad 🧳is a once in a lifetime experience, and as cliché as it sounds, it’s true.

Hi everyone! My name is Susanna Reskallah (@susannajoyr) and I’m currently studying abroad in London, England with @syracuseulondon 🇬🇧 London is a huge, exciting city, and there’s so much to explore every single day, so follow along on the SU abroad story to see what a day in my life here looks like. At Syracuse, I’m a graduate student pursuing my Masters in International Relations with a focus on development and humanitarian assistance. I am also currently interning remotely with the Council of Europe based in Strasbourg. International + cross cultural experiences are something I truly value as they enhance every part of my personal and professional life, and I can’t wait for more of them in this beautiful city.

Hi everyone!! It’s #meetanambassadormonday! My n

Hi everyone!! It’s #meetanambassadormonday! My name’s Angelique Bey and I’m a senior studying TRF (Television, Radio & Film) and Spanish Language, Literature & Culture. During Spring 2020 I studied abroad in Santiago, Chile and spent a month in Cuenca, Ecuador for the immersion program. Santiago is an incredible city with tons to do and lots of historic sites to see. Throughout the experience you’ll learn a lot about the history of the country and those surrounding through great professors and a lot of interesting excursions. One of my favorite experiences abroad was living with host families because I really felt like part of the family. In Ecuador, my host family was amazing and treated me like their own daughter and we still keep in contact today. In Chile, I was only able to stay for a couple of weeks until I had to return due to the pandemic, but I was still able to learn a lot from my host mom and brother. I became a GA so that I could continue to relive my time abroad and share my experiences with new students. Enjoy some of these highlights from my trip and feel free to reach out to me with any questions!!#syracuseabroad #orangeabroad #wherewillyougo

Ciao!! Happy #flashbackfriday ! My name is Bailey

Ciao!! Happy #flashbackfriday ! My name is Bailey Davis, and I’m a rising junior at Syracuse. I can’t believe it’s almost been 2 years since I was abroad... the discovery program was unforgettable! Not only was traveling abroad as a freshman super fun, but it definitely helped me grow into myself and become more comfortable being independent. One of my favorite memories from abroad was traveling to Rome with my History of Art class, and I even got to run into Tan France from Queer eye!!!! I became a global ambassador so I could encourage other students, especially minority students to travel abroad because I had the absolute best time 🙂 Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, my dm’s are always open! @baileyydavisss Ciao for now!

Meet the staff: Strasbourg 🇫🇷 👋🏽 Louis

Meet the staff: Strasbourg 🇫🇷 👋🏽 Louisiane Bertrand, Students Activities and Services Coordinator @syracuseustrasbourg I studied Communications and lived abroad in Sydney 🇦🇺, Montreal 🇨🇦, London 🇬🇧and even Dubai 🇦🇪for a short while. My favorite country that I visited “recently” was Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I started working for Syracuse University 🍊 at the end of 2018 and it’s been a great experience. I love getting to know our students during our activities and daytrips ✈️ and seeing them becoming more independent and confident week after week. I can’t wait for our next group to arrive. The Strasbourg Center is on the banks of the river Ill 💦. There are cute little paths that you can take 🚶🏽‍♀️and have a picnic 🧺or a coffee ☕️with your friends by the river. Plus the 10-minute walk to the city center is all along the water and it’s beautiful! Strasbourg is such an easy city to get around 👟in and it’s close to EVERYTHING!! You can explore all of Strasbourg either walking or using our taking the tram 🚊--Germany 🇩🇪is only 15 min away from the city center. You can plan wonderful weekend trips in the Alsace region, but if you want to explore a little more of France, we have a great train 🚞system in France. For example, Paris is less than 2 hours away with the fast train the TGV. Don’t be scared, studying abroad will be one of the best experiences 😍 you’ll have. You’ll go back home proud of yourself and full of stories. 📖Visit our instagram page for more information on Strasbourg @syracuseustrasbourg

Meet the staff: Strasbourg 👋🏽 Bonjour! Profe

Meet the staff: Strasbourg 👋🏽 Bonjour! Professor Mary Boyington, Assistant Director @syracuseustrasbourg 🇫🇷 I came ✈️to France for the first time as a study abroad student on a summer program in college 🧳and knew then that someday I was going to move to France. After working in study abroad in the US, I finally moved permanently to France to complete my PhD 📚at the Université d’Aix-Marseille in the South of France 🌍. In 2014, I left Provence for Alsace to work at the Syracuse Strasbourg Center. I’m so happy 😁 to have the chance to live in this amazing part of France with a great mix of cultures. My favorite places in Strasbourg are MAMCS 🖼 or the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum 🎨. This wonderful museum in the center of Strasbourg houses a wonderful art collect and great temporary art exhibits 👩🏼‍🎨. After you’ve explored the museum, go up to the rooftop terrace for coffee ☕️and cake 🍰and enjoy the view 📸of the Strasbourg cathedral. Because it’s so beautiful, everyone thinks that Strasbourg is a picturesque village 🚲, but it’s actually a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that is one of the best places to live in France. We have a great cultural scene with museums 🖼, theaters 🎭, festivals 🎊, and music 🎵venues, and lots of great restaurants and cafes. There’s always something to do in Strasbourg! We have no French 🥖🇫🇷requirement to study in Strasbourg since we offer several classes in English, and you can take FRE 101 during your semester abroad. 💫My best advice is that you don’t have to speak French, but you have to want to learn French while you’re here. Come to France ready for new, great experiences! Follow along today for my take over on the @syracuseabroad account 🍊✈️

Hi everybody! My name is Missy (@missylroney) and I am currently studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark! My program is a World Partner Program through @dis.copenhagen. Copenhagen is an absolutely beautiful city with so much to see and do, and with DIS’s hands-on approach the city itself becomes your classroom through field studies and trips within the city. At SU, I am a biology major and after I graduate my plan is to go on to earn an MPH (Masters of Public Health). For both spring and summer 2021 I am part of the Public Health program at DIS, which has been a truly unique experience during the pandemic. Follow along on the SU Abroad instagram story today to see a bit of what my day looks like and to learn more about DIS and Denmark!🇩🇰

Hello everyone! My name is Pondi and I’m a risin

Hello everyone! My name is Pondi and I’m a rising senior (4th year) majoring in Environmental and Interior Design with a minor in Education Studies. I studied abroad in Florence Fall of 2018 as a Discovery student and hope to go back to Florence Spring of 2022! One of my favorite trips I took while abroad took place during fall break, when I got to visit my best friend Sofie in Belgium. She took me to Antwerp, Bruges, and Brussels. It was one of my favorite trips because I not only got to visit a country I had never been before, but I got to experience it with a local. (The waffles and fries in every corner were also a plus.) Take advantage of every weekend and vacation to travel to a new place! Or even go back to one you’ve already been before! #flashbackfriday #wherewillyougo #syracuseabroad

Meet the staff: London 👋🏽 Lisa Watkins, Assi

Meet the staff: London 👋🏽 Lisa Watkins, Assistant Director for Student Wellbeing @syracuseulondon ! I am Syracuse London’s only Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿staff member. My home town is Merthyr Tydfil: Google it! 💻 It has strong past links to the Industrial Revolution, and is known for its production of iron and coal mining. Each weekend, I leave London and head for the Brecon Beacon National Park Area 🥾⛰, where I soak up the beauty of the landscape. It’s worth a visit when you’re in the UK. (And you can see all of it, if you really try: Wales is only 170 miles long!)As a city, London🎡 brings a sense of diversity and freedom 🇬🇧. My favourite part of working with American students abroad is the travelling and cultural exploring 🗺we get to do together.I studied 📚Behavioural Science at undergrad, and then Social Work for a masters degree. I later specialised and supported victims and survivors of sexual assault and rape in a forensic setting for several years before joining Syracuse London. I am currently writing ✍🏾my professional doctoral thesis entitled, “Study Abroad: ‘It’s not what’s in-the-mind’. How biographic narrative interpretive method narrates the student voice”. 👩🏼‍⚕️If you are curious about coming to London for your study abroad experience, know that you will be supported, especially if you experience challenges while you’re here: ‘you will be looked after’. 🙂 🌍✈️So excited to meet you all this summer and fall! 🧳
