It's nice traveling with people I don't know because it adds
a whole other aspect of learning about the culture
'cause you're also learning other people's cultures from the same country you live in.
Usually when I travel, it's with my family
and we just go and look at tourist attractions,
but with the group you're even able to do different activities.
I feel like I've become more sociable, because
before this trip I was kinda really nervous to be
traveling around with 14 strangers
that come from all parts of the U.S.
After, like getting to know all these different people
and getting along with all of them I feel like
I've become more capable of being sociable.
The biggest challenge that I faced while traveling abroad
was probably missing my friends and family.
But I made new friends and I felt more comfortable and less homesick.
I think something I can take away from this is
traveling with a bunch of strangers you don't know
is such an awesome experience.
It's one of the best things you can do to open yourself up
and to make lifelong friends, and to
experience a whole other world.
It's really nice to meet new people,
with different backgrounds, and
coming together to go to France,
whether it's been your first time out of the country or not,
it's really been great for all of us.
We've really been taking in this experience.
The group you're with basically becomes like your family.
