Studying abroad was something I had always wanted to do. While
this trip taught me how to travel efficiently, how to travel write, and how to
quickly adapt to different situations, I would highly recommend it to anyone
considering taking the trip. I have never learned so much in such a short
amount of time. From monuments, to local art galleries, to a serene forest
oasis, it was a trip of a lifetime. I will take the skills that I learned about
travel writing and apply them to my future endeavors.
My favorite
part of the entire trip was touring the Puerto Rican capital. We did this on
the first day, and it was incredible. The entire building was made of marble
and it was beautiful. I also enjoyed visiting the Castillo San Cristobal, you
could see the island for miles and it was breathtaking. Anyone who has
travelled knows that things can go wrong at times and you need to be able to go
with the flow and adapt to new plans. When this happened to us, we took the
extra time to explore more of San Juan, and ate a delicious lunch while
sightseeing in the city.
In the
future, I would plan a trip with a similar itinerary as this one had. Making
sure that I get to see main tourist attractions, while adding in some local
attractions as well. Becoming acclimated with the non-tourism part of any
destination is key to getting the full experience when traveling.
