I really took away a lot from the language and culture once I came home

“I spent 5 weeks in Paris during my winter break and I had an absolute blast. Yes there were mishaps and ups & downs, but I made the most of it with the time and money I was given.

I had planned and paid for this entire trip myself and it was really up to me on what I did. I made friends the very first day and we are still in touch even months later!

Exploring the city every night after class and creating unforgettable moments was definitely my favorite part.

My French improved greatly and I really took away a lot from the language and culture once I came home. I had an amazing host family who were caring and welcomed me with opened arms. EF provided me with my first study abroad experience and I can’t wait for many more!”
