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.

It's hard to choose one thing that was my favorite over my two week trip to Israel. But just experiencing the culture of these Israeli and how they keep persevering after many hardships and setbacks. That was the most amazing part to me and something that has really changed the way I think and also make me want to work harder at everything I do, and it hasn't even been a week since I've been back! Truly and life changing experience.

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.
