#study ablog

Creating this blog was easy enough - the hard part comes now. I am a serial idealist who loves the idea of consistent blog posts and updates, yet I have plenty of neglected blogs in my past ... (oops) however! This blog is the first of it’s kind for me. I’ll be writing about my experiences as I study museums and culture in Paris, Rome, and Madrid this summer. I hope to ramble about culture shock, surprising things, amazing food, delicious wine, inner thoughts, and of course, travel. This blog will be pictures and tourism galore! 

So a little about me (though I really only expect people who know me to read this): I’m Kelly, a junior anthropology student at Indiana University. Though my initial studies within anthropology were focused in on bioanthropology, zooarchaeology, and paleoanthropology, I’ve made the switch towards cultural anthropology and museum studies within the past year. Along with my education minor, I hope to someday find a job within a museum educator’s office, expanding the young, hopeful minds of museum visitors.

My program is through IES Abroad, and I will be studying museums and culture during my 7-week program.

I’ve been abroad once before, in 2013, to visit London, Edinburgh, and Paris with my family. It was such a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to return to rich European history and learn from some of the most amazing museum professionals in some of the oldest museums and cultural sites in the world (museum geek moment!!!!!!!).
