Royalty, Wales, Olympics Past Review
By A student (University of Northern Iowa) - abroad from 06/13/2012 to 06/28/2012 with
University of Northern Iowa: Sustainability Abroad Capstone
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
From this experience, I learned more about how other cultures approach environmental issues. I will be able to use this in my future studies. I enjoyed seeing many famous sites, like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Stonehenge. After going on this amazing group trip, I feel more confident in my abilities to navigate new places and to travel on my own. It has certainly fueled my desire to travel internationally more in my future.

|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I had always wanted to go to London, but once I was there, I wished that we would have spent less time there, because it was really hectic and expensive. I would definitely recommend spending more time in the beautiful countryside of Wales. :) |
