Endless vacation...

A Stedsman in Puglia: Shust

... for study abroaders. Oh, they have their rigorous classes, but they also have their field trips and weekends. Whether it's skiing in the Alps, sunning on a beach in Ibiza, or enjoying some herring in Oslo, our study abroaders really do make the most of their time while away from campus. And our very own Gavin Shust, Stedsman and study abroader, is no exception. Traveling with Luke Bell and Peter Ferraro, Shust made a stop to Alberobello, a small Italian town in Puglia, taking in that and many other sights in Italia. Though he travels, Shust misses his Notre Dame home, Steds. Matter of fact, Shust wrote about Steds in an article published in the ND Rome Global Gateway newsletter. What did he say? Well, you'll just have to read the article!

On studying abroad, Shust said, "After three months of being abroad, I have eaten more pasta than ever before in my life, tried all of the local food at every destination, and of course done a little studying along the way (it is called study abroad for a reason). So far, I have visited 8 countries, 2 continents, and more than 20 cities, collecting a souvenir bottle opener at every new place. Although my travels take me to new experiences and new cultures, I still find myself longing for the Golden Dome and my home back in Steds, but luckily St. Peter's Basilica is a worthy substitute while I am in Italy"
