<\/p>\nI found out about the study abroad trip to Prague about the same time I felt the desire to travel to somewhere-anywhere!-for a personal reboot. \u00a0I was fortunate in that I’d already spent several years living in Europe but I was eager to return again. \u00a0I never made it to Prague my first time around Europe, but this trip was well worth the wait. \u00a0Prague is an amazing city! \u00a0It has amazing history, it’s easy to navigate and it’s relatively inexpensive.<\/p>\n
Our trip consisted of several evening events including the opera and the orchestra. \u00a0We had organized\u00a0trips to Karlovy Vary, Teplice, Terezen and Cesky Krumlov. \u00a0My friends and I also booked an additional trip to Kutna Hora\u00a0Ossury to see the “Bone Church”. Although, all of these short excursions were interesting, my favorite, by far, was Cesky Krumlov. \u00a0This lovely little 13th century town is a UNESCO World Heritage Center. \u00a0It’s referred to as the “Little Prague”. \u00a0The centrum of the town is just a 15 minute walk from the train station. \u00a0The narrow roads curve between tall buildings and there’s something wonderful to see around every corner. \u00a0I could have easily spent a few days just exploring this wonderful city.<\/p>\n
My only regret in taking this trip (or any kind of study abroad program) is that i didn’t take it when I was first in college 20+ years ago. \u00a0I’m a firm believer in that everyone should travel to different places and experience new things. \u00a0What better time to do that than when you’re young and in college. \u00a0My advice is this: \u00a0If you have the opportunity to study abroad, no matter how long the duration, take advantage of the opportunity. \u00a0 You can learn\u00a0so much when you step out of your comfort zone. \u00a0I did.<\/p>\n
