family and I left our country‚ for sometime‚ in December 2010. The trip had good food‚ great sites‚ and wonderful adventures that will have an impact on me for the rest of my life. My trip to Italy had many bright things‚ especially great foods‚ now I am not saying all we ate was italian food‚ actually we ate quite a lot of different food there.

But for eight hours a day‚ five days a week I’d have to leave my culture‚ not by plane but by bus‚ not hours away but only a few minutes.

Travels Abroad with Goethe’s Italian Journey Foreign travel‚ I think‚ is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have in life. You never really get a chance in life to explore who you really are and what you believe until you’re able to leave your daily life and spend time in a place where everything’s drastically different.
