Before her first quarter at UCLA, Stacey Valentin took a leap with UCEAP’s Global Start program in Sicily and came home with more than memories. From Mediterranean mornings and weekend adventures across Europe to finding new ways to explore Los Angeles, Stacey shares how studying abroad shaped her freshman year and inspired a lifelong commitment to staying curious, bold, and adventurous. 🇮🇹✈️💙

Freshman Year, Italian Style
Winner of the 2025 Blog Writing Contest
Stacey Valentin, UCLA
“The freedom of travel and the joy of connecting with people abroad altered the plot of my future...Let me paint you a picture of my time on Italy’s best island (in my opinion) before starting as a freshman at UCLA.”
“The Sicilian mindset is that life happens, and better late than never. The sun usually shone on my walk along the Mediterranean Sea to class, where you could see fish gnawing algae off the rocks.”
“My free time usually involved trying a new gelato place or walking through the historic center. I would take a few extra minutes to chat with the owner of the arancini place (my favorite Sicilian snack) or grab a tea and study with my classmates.”
“Once class wrapped on Thursday, my long weekend started...Friday morning might be spent in Rome, and the next Saturday in Athens. I will never forget a Sunday in Paris where I was the very last person allowed into Notre-Dame for the day!”
“Living abroad was so impactful that I immediately signed up for the next opportunity I could find...If my fall quarter in Sicily taught me anything, it launched a lifelong personal goal: doing everything in my power to stay eternally the adventurer.”

You can still vote as a U.S. citizen abroad if you're registered as an overseas voter! Make your voice heard in the 2026 General Election.

FAQ: Voting Abroad
What if I'm already registered to vote?
You must register as an overseas voter even if you’re already registered in the US in order to receive a ballot.
How else can I send my ballot?
California does not allow voters to return a ballot by email; however, you may be able to return your completed ballot by fax. Send it directly to your California county elections official and include the required signed return envelope and Oath of Voter or other county-approved fax cover sheet.
What is my current address?
List the address abroad where you want your ballot sent. If you don’t have the address before you leave for study abroad, fill it out as soon as you know where you’re living, or select to receive your ballot by email instead.
What if I haven't received a ballot?
If your official blank ballot has not arrived in enough time for you to return it by the deadline, complete and submit a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) as a backup. If your official ballot arrives later, return it as well; your county will count only one ballot.

🧠🇩🇪 What started as a language requirement became a life-changing journey. Wayne Dewing (UC Riverside) studied neuroscience in Berlin, gained fluency in German, and discovered new possibilities for his future through study abroad. ✈️🌍

The Mind, The Brain, and Berlin: Why This Neuroscience Major is Heading Back to Germany
Wayne Dewing, UC Riverside
Studied in Berlin, Germany
“My time abroad didn’t derail my career goals—it taught me that life is much bigger than the rigid path I initially mapped out for myself...I discovered a newfound openness to life’s colorful possibilities. It was a complete metamorphosis.”
“That summer in Berlin was absolutely surreal. The timing was perfect. Right as I arrived, an international neuroscience conference called Glial was taking place in the city, and my intensive German language classes commenced shortly after.”
“Living this new lifestyle and being completely immersed in the environment, something clicked. I started thinking in the language...It was a gradual, quiet shift, but there I was, understanding everything and connecting with new friends without a single word of English spoken.”
“Experiencing a stunning winter in Vienna, ice skating, exploring historic cafés, and sharing dinners using my German skills made me realize how easily I could have missed out on these life-changing moments if I hadn’t stepped out of my comfort zone.”
“I fell in love with the daily rhythm of Schöneberg, the lovely neighborhood I called home...I’ve learned to let life meander without losing sight of the big picture.”

Studying abroad doesn’t mean missing your chance to vote. 🗳️
If you’re a U.S. citizen studying overseas this fall, make sure you:
✅ Register to vote
✅ Request your ballot
✅ Return it on time
Register online by Oct. 19 to make your voice heard in the 2026 General Election!
Text transcript:
How to Vote in US Elections Abroad
STEP 1: Register to vote
See California Voter Registration to start the process—otherwise, register to vote in your state of residence. Not sure about your voter registration status? You can confirm it online!
Deadline: Monday, October 19, 2026 is the last day to register to vote online for this November’s
general election.
STEP 2: Request a ballot
To vote from abroad, you must request a ballot be sent to you.
You’ll fill out a form called the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), which California voters can do online. Or, you can obtain an FPCA from any US embassy or consulate and return the completed form by mail or fax to the county elections official of the county where you lived prior to departure for study abroad.
Note: US citizens must submit a new FPCA request each year. So, if you filled it out for past elections, you’ll need to do it again to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.
STEP 3: Vote
Now is the time to exercise your right to vote! Complete the ballot carefully, following the instructions that come with it, and return it as early as possible.
Deadline: Mailed ballots must be postmarked by November 3, 2026, and must reach the local election offices no later than 7 days after the election day (November 10, 2026).
