University of Northern Iowa: Traveling - UNI Capstone in London and Paris

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was an amazing experience. I am very away of the different cultures and what it's like to be a minority. I am wanting to travel more and see more of the world after my experience.

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I would recommend anyone planning to travel abroad to do a little research about where you will be visiting so you don't have to waste time trying to figure out where you would like to visit and how to get there and you can spend more time at the places of interest.
