YES! I learned so much about myself and gained a huge sense of Independence If I can live abroad on my own I think I'll be okay here. I want to see so much more of Europe. Don't be surprised if you get a huge travel bug and don't want to come home... Home won't ever be the same again. Tricia B - Illinois State University View Entire Review
