Nali Sanchez Carmona, a sophomore in agronomy, spent the spring semester in Greece through CALS study abroad program at the American Farm School in Thessaloniki.

During her time there, she was able to visit six different countries. “One of my favorite experiences was hiking Mount Olympus, just around two hours away from the American Farm School and attending the tulip festival in Amsterdam,” said Sanchez Carmona.

One of her favorite classes was Viticulture. “In this class, we learned the anatomy of the vine, the different types of grapes in other regions, and the seasonal processes of pruning and harvesting. The best part was learning hands-on in the vineyard grown and produced by the school, as
well as attending commercial vineyards and wine
tastings,” said Sanchez Carmona.
