I recently had the opportunity to share many of the memories and lessons I learned as an American study abroad student with the kind folks at Preseli Venture. More information about this wonderful outdoor adventure company can be found on our Traveling page.
Here is a portion of what I wrote:
As an American study abroad student in London, I found myself in a unique situation because of the extensive historical past shared between the British and American people. The United Kingdom is the homeland for many Americans, which lends an unexplainable fascination between the two countries. In Winston Churchill’s famous “Sinews of Peace” speech, he spoke of a fraternal association between the British Commonwealth and the United States of America. I can now look back on my study abroad experience and wholeheartedly agree with Churchill’s sentiment.
