2015 Co-educators

2015 Co-educators
2015 UConn Co-educators Begin Their Cape Town Adventures

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

As anyone who has participated in UConn's Education Abroad in Cape Town will tell you, there are no words to adequately explain the depth of the experiences, no illustrations to sufficiently describe the hospitality of the people, and no pictures to begin to capture the exquisite scenery. Therefore this blog is only intended to provide an unfolding story of the those co-educators who are traveling together as companions on this amazing journey.

As Resident Director of this program since 2008 it is once again my privilege and honor to accompany another group of students to this place I have come to know and love.

In peace, with hope,

Bernie's mixed emotions

Bernie feeling at home
 
The past couple of days have been like any other week here in South Africa. I went to internship and did my daily routine. I think that it is crazy to me that I have a daily routine here. It’s as if I have actually lived here my whole life when in reality, I have only been here for about 2 months but it doesn’t feel like it. South Africa feels like home now, and I love it. With Cape Town feeling like I home I am starting to get a little homesick. I have a lot of feelings at the moment as you can tell! I don’t feel homesick as in I miss Connecticut, I miss my family and I wish everyday that they were here to experience this wonderful place. With that in mind though my sister just told me she might be visiting and I am so excited if she does. Then she will understand the love I have for this place and be able to love and experience it for herself! So hopefully she comes to visit! So at the moment it feels like home in Cape Town and I love it and the other half of me feels homesick for my family
