I spent my first week in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and I honestly feel like I stepped into a movie set. Between the stunning views, the salty sea air, and the nonstop activities, this week was everything I hoped for and more.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best parts? Kayaking on the Adriatic! We paddled past the city\u2019s ancient stone walls and explored hidden caves along the coast. The water was unbelievably clear\u2014like, <em>see-the-bottom-from-your-boat<\/em> clear. We even stopped at a small beach and jumped in for some snorkeling. Floating over the fish and rocky sea floor, I felt completely disconnected from stress and school\u2026 at least for a little while.<\/p>\n<p>And yes\u2014there <em>was<\/em> some actual studying involved. I took my first exam this week, which felt a little strange considering I had spent the morning in a kayak and the afternoon in a swimsuit. But hey, that\u2019s the beauty of studying abroad: blending school with once-in-a-lifetime experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Dubrovnik has already set the bar so high. I\u2019ve met some great people, seen some incredible sights, and even got a nice sunburn to prove it. Next stop: Italy\u2014let\u2019s see what week two has in store!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bamabloggersabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/11185c84-ad60-4a48-9a6e-8d12d87c6447.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bamabloggersabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/11185c84-ad60-4a48-9a6e-8d12d87c6447.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bamabloggersabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/11185c84-ad60-4a48-9a6e-8d12d87c6447.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bamabloggersabroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/11185c84-ad60-4a48-9a6e-8d12d87c6447-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t <!-- .et_post_meta_wrapper -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow\u2014what a way to kick off my study abroad adventure!
