What an experience this was! As random as I thought it would be to travel to Germany for an NFL game, I was pleasantly surprised to witness such a surreal event. The level of passion and excitement that Germany has for American Football is real and the love that the people have for the sport […]

As a Bucs fan and Tampa native myself, I was immensely excited to have the opportunity to see my favorite team play in Munich. Heading into the trip, I was most interested to see how the fans would react to a Bucs win. When we won the Super Bowl in 2020 in Tampa, the atmosphere […]

Upon applying to the Globalizing the NFL course, I knew it combined two interests that I have wanted to pursue while my time at UF– traveling and sports media. Both of these interests, I believe, have shaped me to become who I am now. I have always had a heart to travel. In most cases, […]

Although one could consider me a wanderlust, studying abroad was never quite on my radar as a college student. It is probably because my mind is still trying to adapt to living in another state across the country. When the opportunity to go to Munich as part of the University of Florida’s College of Journalism […]

Prior to this trip, I had only ever flown abroad once before in my life. I was not entirely sure how I’d handle being outside of the country for the first time since I was a pre-teen. Needless to say, my initial worries proved to be unwarranted. Despite some initial struggles adjusting to my new […]

This experience was very fun and I am glad that I did it. I have been to Europe a couple of times and Germany once prior to this, but I had never been to Munich. It was nice to experience a new place and experience German culture for the second time ever. One thing that […]

Throughout my experience studying abroad, I felt a sense of excitement and spontaneity. My first time outside of the United States opened my eyes to how different and similar European countries are. I loved how there was a structure within the tours but also enough free time in order to explore the city on my […]

Over the time I spent in RTV4930 Globalizing the NFL, I have learned and experienced unforgettable knowledge and insights that I will carry with me throughout the course of my career. Throughout the course, I learned so much about the NFL, international reporting, and other professional skills. I learned that half of the work for […]

I was extremely excited ahead of our trip to Germany. This was to be just my second time in Europe and my first time with fellow students. There was a lot of anticipation that had built up from a semester of planning and waiting to finally head to Munich, and it did not disappoint. We […]

When I was accepted into this program, I was very excited, but nervous because I did not know what to expect. All I knew was that I would have to be creating content surrounding the NFL game in Munich. Once we met for the first time in class, I felt like we were kind of […]

Check out the story I wrote while I was there! This was the first time I had traveled to Germany and out of the country – so it was definitely an exciting experience early on. From getting that first stamp in my passport to learning all about the history of Munich, it was a trip […]

I didn’t know what to expect from Germany. I had my reservations, my preconceived notions. But after six days there, my thoughts on the country haven’t just changed, my entire outlook has. I am reborn. I am in love with Germany. Let us begin with some background. I’m Jewish. My family – specifically my mom’s […]

I had just transferred from that other state university in Tallahassee, looking for a better male/female ratio and a chance to experience the college party life I had heard so much about. While there I “majored” in psychology, sociology, English and even accounting (a five-hour “C” helped motivate me to transfer to UF). When I […]
