When I say that May 2023 was the best travel experience of my life, I mean it. I had the opportunity to take 鈥淪tudy Tour of France鈥 with Dr. Jane Bokunewicz, which included a 10-day trip to France. I toured places like the Louvre, tried new foods, picked up some basic French and experienced activities such as wine and champagne tastings, a cooking class and exploring the streets of Paris. My favorite experience was the farewell dinner cruise, where I saw the city during both the day and night. I would recommend a Study Tour course or study abroad experience to any student who has the opportunity. It was one of the highlights of my four years at 91视频成人网站, and Dr. Bokunewicz is amazing.
