While abroad, I spent time with French students that I met through a local church. I hung out with them in my free time, and got to see what life was like through the eyes of a local French student! Also, whenever I traveled, I tried to live like a local - sitting at a café or in a park, living in the moment instead of taking a million photos, trying foods I would normally not eat.
I enjoyed my Artistic Encounters Across the Mediterranean course. I learned about the cross-cultural impacts that Islam and Christianity had on the art and architecture of the Mediterranean. It helped me understand the ways that different cultures interacted with and influenced each other.
