Week three was incredible. Towards the end of the week we had free time in order to travel the world, and boy was I excited for that. Before coming to London, I had not had the opportunity to travel to different countries so when given this opportunity, I wanted to make the most of it. I decided to travel to two different countries. In order to do so, I spent a little less than a day in each country. Best decision ever. I first traveled to Paris, France where I went to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa, toured around Notre Dame and then I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower to see the sun set! The next morning, I flew to Rome, Italy which was amazing. I walked around the city to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. Country hoping was eye opening because I got to experience different cultures, languages and modes of transportation. I was surprised with how confident I felt exploring these different countries and figuring my way around.
