Welcome to my new blog! I feel like blogging is a new, hip thing I should do as everyone else seems to be doing the same for their global adventures and whatnot. So I'm giving it a shot!
Anyway, so I will be travelling extensively this summer (and studying a bit too!) in Western Europe, a destination I have not yet been to. The focus is a 7-week (with a 1-week break) French intensive language/culture program in Tours, France. I will be spending 2 weeks with other Georgetown students studying French culture with Georgetown's own Professor Guy Spielmann, then a week off to travel w/ MT and Hansky to Italy and southern France (sooo excited), and 5 weeks at the Institut de Touraine studying French language intensively, with the hope of eventual proficiency!
But wait, there's more! I am crazy, as most of you know (puns, geography bees, etc.), so it comes as no surprise that I will be doing something adventurous and exciting: travelling ALONE in two of the continent's largest cities (London and Paris) for 3 days prior to the program. It will be an interesting experience, to say the least, and I already have a full slate of sites to see and things to do for those 3 days, making for a very busy introduction to world travel. Making up for lost time, I suppose...
Anyway, hope you enjoy the blog - I will be seeing museums, historical sites, castles, chateaus, etc. and hopefully do some hiking, biking, and other activities that should make for some excellent pictures and some good stories!
Au revoir!
-Andrew
