Her Campus Conn Coll has to say “Bon voyage!” to five of our contributing writers for the spring semester. Members of the class of 2014, Marisa Barnard, Chloe Sovinee-Dyroff, Rachel Jerome, Laura Sanderson, and Andrea Hoisington are embarking on exciting trips around the world. We will be keeping tabs on these globe trekking collegiettes on their exhilarating journeys throughout the semester and look forward to updating everyone on their adventures!
Marisa Barnard
Major: Psychology
Minor: Dance and Art History
Destination: Milan, Italy
What are you most looking forward to? I’m really looking forward to traveling, not just around Italy but throughout Europe.
Do you know what classes you’re taking, if so what are they? I’m planning on taking two Psych courses that focus on cross-cultural Psychology, two Art History classes about Italian art, and an intermediate Italian course.
Tell us a fun fact about your international destination. Milan is a fashion capital of the world!
We will miss you so much! What was your favorite part of working with HerCampus this semester? I’d have to say figuring out which nominee is going to be Campus Cutie for the week–awkward because we admit who we secretly like/crush on/admire from afar, yet hilarious. That, and of course becoming friends with all of the girls. I miss you all already!

Destination: London, England
What are you most looking forward to? I’m most excited about being able to travel around the EU while I’m there.

Tell us a fun fact about your international destination. London has public urinals outside.
We will miss you so much! What was your favorite part of working with HerCampus this semester? My favorite part of working with Her campus this semester was having the opportunity to work with new people and get closer to the people I already knew.
