If you go abroad, travel, don't tour. Dive into the culture, the people, the atmosphere; you'll get so much more out of the experience. It's intimidating, but you learn so much about your self and the country when you let go of your fears and live in the moment there.

The hardest part of the trip is picking a favorite experience. The entire trip from start to finish is a blur of cultural and academic experiences unlike anything I could have imagined. Instantly, I found myself enthralled in the Israeli culture. Eating community style, enjoying walks on the board walk, visiting ancient historical sites, and modern businesses blended the old and the new in a way I had never anticipated.

My favorite part of my study abroad trip to Israel was going to the Dead Sea. The experience was even more amazing than I was told it would be.
