I did a fellowship in Ukraine in the 00s and can only imagine how things were just a decade before. |

I went to England with everyone else too lazy to do a language, lol.
If I were to do it again I’d do Semester at Sea… |

| Oxford one summer and then an archaeology program throughout Greece. Both awesome and huge milestones in my life. |

| I spent a semester in Chile- loved it! Should have stayed longer to help really bump up the language skills |

We went to Yalta for a break, gojng through Ukraine (can’t even remember which country claimed Yalta at that point). It was during a brief moment when the Ukrainian money could just be printed out on a color printer or copier so the currency was so devalued that everything was basically free. I don’t think that lasted more than a week or so — obviously people stopped taking it PDQ—but that was just one example. Every day was a new example of “how can this possibly be true…..”. I’m still about 80% convinced that my study abroad program was run by drug (and other things) smugglers, with CIA plants as well. |

| Rome. I am going to strongly encourage my DD to do it when she gets to college. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and I have never heard anyone regretting their experience. I envy your son… |

Innsbruck, Austria.
Had a Eurail pass and traveled to Rome, Paris and Munich on the weekends. It was heaven. |

| Venice for a semester. Wake Forest owns a house there and lived in that house, right on the Grand Canal. I was woken up every morning at 6AM by the gondoliers singing ava maria outside my bedroom window. I had no idea how good I had it. Classes were from Monday at noon until Thurs at noon and then we had the rest of the time to travel. Just amazing and I think every kid should travel abroad for a semester. |
