My Fav Photo App to Use Abroad

By: Spencer Rojas

Pictures are worth a 1000 words – but I think they are worth even more when you are studying abroad. My biggest issue was finding a fun way to capture these memories and live in the moment. I was able to make these moments even more memorable by using a cool app that is a little retro. Disposable is a free app that allows you to take pictures but does not let you see them until 9:00 am the next day. The photos have that disposable camera look and just give off a cool vibe. I used this app a lot because it was fun to take pictures without having to worry about how the pictures would turn out. It allowed me to live more in the moment. It was fun to relive the moments when the photos would show up at 9:00 am the next day. Now that I am back in the US, it is fun to remember all the good times I had in The Netherlands.

Check out some of my favorite photos taken using the Disposable app:

I got to live with students from all over the world and I made so many connections and friends I canโ€™t imagine my life now without them.

 

 

Next is a picture that signifies the amount of cheese I consumed in the Netherlands. I took a day trip to Amsterdam with my friend Maddy and we decided to make it a cheap day and eat a bunch of free cheese. If you are ever in Amsterdam looking for a cheap way to eat, hit up all the cheese shops and museums and sample all the cheese you want. Being in continental Europe it is really easy to travel, and from Arnhem, I was super close to Amsterdam and Germany. Unfortunately, I was not able to travel much, but I love Amsterdam so much that it was worth it.
